Losing weight after having a baby

I love the tips. Quite helpful. Especially with implying a life-style change and not a diet. If you don’t mind I would like to add a few suggestions of my own for mainly the females out there (although some will apply to either gender). Let’s say 5 for now!

1. If you like to dance, as i do, put on your favorite high-energy music at home. Act like an idiot and dance-away. No one is there to see you so who cares how well you dance. It is no longer a fashion show.. dance in those Cookie Monster slippers while you’re at it! In the process you are having fun and losing anywhere from 3-8 calories per minute! If you have iTunes, create an hour list and goof off until it’s finished!

2. Pack your lunch for work. It hinders on your socialization time with your co-workers (at least at my job), but it helps you watch what you eat and save money. If you are a lunch-time drinker with your co-workers (or even a happy hour drinker), cut a few days out of the week or month that you join them. Those extra calories that you are denying also add up!

3. Buy an outfit that you are dying to get in to! Make sure it is a realistic size for your goals. Hang it in plain sight to remind you of where you want to be weight-wise. If possible try to choose an outfit that shows off parts of your body such as a swimsuit or dress. This will make you more likely to reach your goals (out of pure stubborness!) and the rewards will be greater once you do reach your goals.

4. If you are anything like me… went through high school without the ability to gain weight and then hit their 20’s with an extra, un-explainable 50lbs… THINK! Although they say that females will shift, change, and reform around that time in their lives, there could be another reason so don’t just accept the weight thinking it is your lot in life. Have you started different social habits? Have you started a different medication? All these things may be relevant. Once major area to consider is whether you have tried a different form or started using birth control. I found that the shot form of Depo-Provera was causing me to gain weight. After moving myself back to the pill I was able to regain close to my initial weight and with a life-style change I have been able to keep it off for 6 years. Although the shot had it’s perks, going back to the pill was the better choice. (NOTE: The Depo-Provera shot has also shown to thin the epithelium of the cervix and vagina thereby possibly allowing for women to be easier infected by sexually-transmitted infections when they come in contact with another person who is infected. Just stay away from the shot!).

5. Lastly, this is something I have to remind myself of everyday. Don’t get the necessity to lose weight mixed up with the need to tone. I am a small frame, average height. Many days I will make the comment that I need to lose a bit more weight (as I have fluctuated 10lbs here or there in the past 6 years but my genereal size has remained constant). I already wear a size 3 or below so when other people hear this… they want to maul me! I need to tone. There is a difference! So girls, before opening your mouth… Think. There is a difference between getting in shape and losing weight.
