How did you lose the baby weight?
1. breastfeed - nursing exclusively can burn as much as 800 extra calories a day, especially at the start. Studies show that women are typically down to their pre-pregnancy weight faster if they breastfeed.
2. eat smaller meals more often and make healthier choices. Fiber, fiber, fiber - it helps fill you up, it's typically found in lower calories foods and it helps boost metabolism.
3. try to be active - join a mommy baby fitness class - this helped me the most, or walk a lot with the baby. I also tried to use random moments throughout the day to get exercise - while laying on the floor with baby I'd do sit-ups, I'd park the car further away and walk somewhere, take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc. If you play a sport, get back to it as soon as possible, it's also good for the mental health.
4. I didn't do this the first two times, but I'm doing it now the third - prevent excessive weight gain in pregnancy but not seeing it as on opportunity to eat like crazy. Stay within recomended weight gain limits and it's easier to lose.
I hope this has been helpful. Good luck.
