Quote From: crisisorchaos

I just recently had a baby, a little girl named Emery on March 19,2008....shes beautiful. well, I know its only been about a month but i feel so horrible, so ugly and unnatractive. I was pretty overweight during my pregnancy, I was 195 pounds. once i had her i went down to 160 and i used to weigh 135.I know i shouldnt be expecting some kind of weight loss miracle or anything like that but my self-esteem is really low now and none of my clothes fit and it coming close to summer i want to wear shorts and to be able to be comfortable and run around go outside and play, but instead im stuck inside the dark house still wearing my maternity pants just feeling like a monster.My sex drive came back full blast too, but even my boyfriend can see how self concious i am now even around him.Ive been working out everyday and eating healthier but i went to the doctors for my check up i gained 2 pounds while working out. im not comfortable with myself anymore and i feel even more uncomfortable around other people. Does anyone have any tips or secrets to losing weight fast and staying slim? i am so desperate for anything please help me ill do anything to get rid of this stomach that makes me look like im still pregnant im in dire need of assistance help!
First of all losing weight safely and it staying off never happens quickly. Of course gaining is always another story. What really worked for me was doing DrPhils Ultimate Weight Loss. I read the book and filled out all the little projects in it and was true to myself in my answers. I changed my habits according to the diet and it was easy because I didnt feel deprived. It worked. I lost 15 pounds in no time. Also there is a message board on here where they all discuss what works for them as well as their pitfalls. Dont forget there are days where you also will need to listen to your cravings....but there can be healthy options for that too depending on what you are craving. My kids love ice cream so I found Skinny Cow for myself and they are wonderful not to mention 98% fat free. So anyway, best of luck to you. If anything go out on walks with your baby and enjoy the days of being a new mommy. (I found walking was best for me when dieting...I got up to walking 12 miles per day).

Hey one tip I can give you is this: don't watch your weight but measurre your waist. Why? Well fat is lighter then muscle tissue so in the beginning you might gain a bit of wait before you start loosing it even though your body starts shaping up. You might have lost musscle tissue during your pregnancy because you weren't as active as before.

And as the other message says do it in moderation, it takes a while. fasting or diëting is a bad idea anyday, in the long run it is bad for your health and will make you gain weight.

Toss away that scale & go by how your clothes hang. Think how envyous others will be when you say "Oh I lost some weight...How much? I'm not sure, I just know I went down 3 sizes." Gigglingn on your way to the dressing room with your new stash of clothes!
