Answer 1

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain your weight
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 2

DO PILATES!!! I do them on a daily basis and i did them in high school 3 mos before prom and i fit in my size 12 dress then. They are wonderful...walmart has a dvd called "crunch" cardio pilates. the same brand, which is crunch, also puts out a dvd that has a 10 min ab workout, 10 min thigh work out, and a 10 min butt work out. It is quick, very simple and not boring. they work great. if you do this you almost dont even have to run. i never do, cause i have athsma. and remember, it isnt what you eat...it is how much...your stomach, the actual organ is no bigger than your fist...that is how you judge your portion size...you can eat anything you want in moderation. good luck and god bless

Answer 3

Can't anwser the dress size thing, persay. But congrats on getting married.

Good tips I have learned and don't eat 5 hours before bedtime. Make sure you have something high in cal in your meal. will boost meta.

Also, stop drinking soda products at that time too. They interupt your enzymes causing belly fat.

Answer 4

To be honest u r right dieting wont help ur tummy tone up as its loose muscles from having ur baby. u should try things like sit ups. get some one to sit on ur feet if u find it hard to do. what is very good for doing stomach muscles is one of them big balls. like a giant bouncy ball i think they use them in yoga. anyway u can sit on these work u stomach muscles and it isn't sore on ur neck r anything like floor sit ups can be.

Answer 5

Eat lots of grilled or steam fish and meat. find a fruit you do like and eat plenty of it. Davina Mccall hisa fitness dvd out which is cardio boxing and its great. Its not to hard but works really well and is fun to do.

Put on some music you love and start using your stomach muscles.

Sit ups is an obvious start.
