After my second baby I weighed 145 lbs.
I am 4'11" so that is considerably overweight for my height. Since
I breast fed I really didn't want to take any diet pills at all. So my
options were exercise and controlling my diet. Now I am a person who hates
vegetables with a passion so losing weight was very difficult.
Finally I found my solution. Eating less
... cutting everything I ate first into half the portion as usual and
then really limiting myself to eating only things I really craved or liked
and even that in a very small portion. I incorporated more proteins and
veggies into my diet and cut down on the carbs. I did not eliminate carbs.
Lastly I started doing Yoga every three
days and going out dancing as much as possible. I was very lucky to have
babysitters for the last six months that I could trust. Now I weigh 115
lbs and I am still working on it. I have to admit though I haven't continued
as regularly with my yoga as before and due to a lack of baby sitting
I hardly go out. Nevertheless I haven't gained the weight back. I take
my kids for walks and to the park as often as possible. Keeping myself
active all day really helps. My older one is two and a half and my younger
one is fourteen months and I have lots of energy to keep them happy.
Mostly I recommend finding activities
that you really enjoy to help you lose weight. Good Luck.
