8 Tips on Successful
      Weight Loss after
         Pregnancy


Katie V. Adams
http://www.weightlosstoday.info
Congratulations, Mommy! Having a child is one of
the greatest blessings you will ever receive in your
life. Nothing is more fulfilling than being with your
little on every day and watching him or her bloom
into a great person. However, being a mother is
not easy. If you have just given birth, you are at
risk for post-partum depression. Most of the time,
this depression comes from the baby weight you
put on. Being healthy is important.
Now that you have someone who needs your
utmost care and attention, you must make sure
that you should be very healthy. And everyone
knows that nothing is healthy about being
overweight. So here are effective tips on weight
loss after pregnancy.

Tip # 1: Accept That This Won't Happen
Instantly
One common mistake that new mothers do is to
look for someone to idolize.
Often times, these are celebrities that lose weight
instantly after giving birth. If you are doing this,
stop. Reality check: you won't lose weight instantly
and these celebrities have the luxury of paying
doctors to do cosmetic surgery on them. They may
look good, but they are the worst examples of
weight loss after giving birth.
Tip # 2: Recovery is Your Priority
Although you're so excited to lose weight and
regain your previous before-motherhood body, you
have to recover first. It will take up to 6 months for
your body to return to normal. The sign that you
have fully recovered is if you are already getting
your period regularly. You don't want to have any
complications because of forcing yourself to work
out right away. Take time to rest because you just
gave birth to a baby.
What you could do at this point is to focus on the
food you eat. Besides, you will most likely be
breastfeeding, so whatever you are consuming,
your baby will consume as well.

Tip # 3: Set a Realistic Goal
People who fail at losing weight do so because of
one thing - they have set unrealistic goals for
themselves.
If you set unrealistic goals for yourself, you will end
up being frustrated and giving up often. You will
also probably turn to binge eating which is a very
bad habit! It will make you gain weight like crazy
without you knowing! Your goal should be
something like 30 pounds in 6 months or
something similar. The goal should encompass the
amount of weight you want to lose along with the
time frame you give yourself.
Tip # 4: Exercise Regularly
The keyword in that phrase is the word "regularly".
Weight loss after pregnancy is hard to attain
without a regular workout routine. It will be easier
for you to stick to your goals if you work out
regularly. This will constantly make you lose
weight and will keep you on track. If you are busy,
then 30 minutes for three times in a week is alright.
If you have time to spare or while your baby is
asleep and you don't have any tasks, go ahead
and increase the time for your
exercises.
However, do not jeopardize your time for sleeping.
Most new mothers are sleep deprived. Lack of
sleep is never good for losing weight. As much as
possible, get enough sleep. If you don't, your
metabolism will be really slow. You will end up
gaining weight instead.

Tip # 5: Team Up
Working out is more fun when you have other
mothers with you.
Sharing a goal with other people will motivate you
more. Also, there are many workouts that burn a
lot of calories that are grouped workouts such as
spinning, Zumba and Tae Bo! Having friends
around will make the experience more memorable
and fun.

Tip # 6: Modify your Meals
Meals are important. However, if want to lose
weight, you will have to modify your meals a little
bit. First of all, you need to eat
more meals but in smaller
portions.
Every breakfast, have some oatmeal or whole
wheat bread. There are also many fruits and
vegetables that are packed with vitamins and
minerals and in fiber, too. Fiber is good for your
diet because it will help in making sure your
digestion goes smoothly. If you work out a lot, then
go for protein rich foods which are not full of fat.
Protein will aid in muscle recovery so you can work
out more and tone faster.
Tip # 7: Choose To Breastfeed
Breastfeeding will help you lose weight. Decide to
stick to it for the next two years. Breastfeeding
your baby requires 500 calories from you in a day.
That is already worth 2 hours of continuous
cardiovascular exercises. Besides, breastfeeding
has a lot of benefits especially to the immune
system. Your baby will develop faster and will have
natural vitamins and minerals that will come from
breast milk. Do not skip on that chance.
Tip # 8: Go for Workouts you Can Do at Home
The reason why some new mothers pass on
working out is because they believe it consumes
so much of their time. Admit it; time is not a luxury
when you have a baby around. There is just so
much to do. If you have the same situation, then
you should workout smart. Choose routines that
you can do at home. Split the routines as well. If
you can do routines for 15 minutes in the morning,
another 15 minutes in the afternoon and 15
minutes in the evening, then
that would be great.
However, remember that breaking up routines is
only advisable when you are a person who knows
how to follow a schedule. So if you make one, be
sure to stick to it. Take a piece of paper and write
down your routines as well. Crunches in the
morning, lunges in the afternoon and cardio at
night would be a start.
Weight loss after pregnancy seems impossible for
some because having a baby requires a lot of
attention from the mother. In fact, at times you may
feel guilty for even giving yourself some time to
exercise and get in shape. Don't be! Everything
good that you do for yourself is also good for your
child. A healthy mom breeds a healthy kid. Good
luck!

It will be easier for you to stick to your goals if you work out regularly. This will constantly make you lose weight and will keep you on track. If you are busy, then 30 minutes for three times in a week is alright.

Protein will aid in muscle recovery so you can work out more and tone faster.
  • 12. Tip # 7: Choose To Breastfeed Breastfeeding will help you lose weight. Decide to stick to it for the next two years. Breastfeeding your baby requires 500 calories from you in a day.

Split the routines as well. If you can do routines for 15 minutes in the morning, another 15 minutes in the afternoon and 15 minutes in the evening, then that would be great.

Take a piece of paper and write down your routines as well. Crunches in the morning, lunges in the afternoon and cardio at night would be a start.
