Hey ladies....
So I'm 39+2 atm and have my wedding in Dec 12 ...I purchased my size 10 dress prior to becoming preggers and have my fitting in Sept 12.....I'm currently a 16. Although I put on 19.2kgs I need any advise for safely getting rid of that 19.2 maybe plus some as i was a bit over weight to start off with I know that breastfeeding helps and I shouldn't exert myself but if anyone has any ideas that would be awesome. Cheers in advance |

If you live in or close to a town walk EVERYWHERE.
It worked wonders for me and as a plus DS loved sleeping in the pram  -------------

I second what SethsMama said.
I walk daily and it definitely helped. I only gained 7kg during both of my pregnancies, but I lost about 15kg after each within a couple of months. 5kg dropped straight after birth, and a further 10 by 2 hourly BF'ing (and not a lot of sleep  )
I walk about 5km a day (in bursts - we live 10 mins walk from kindy). It keeps the jiggly bits at bay -------------

Totally agree with everyone else, walk as much as you can and eat healthy and drink lots of water. ------------- DD 9 ~ DD 8 ~ DS 7 ~ DS 5 ~ DS 2 ~ DS 14mths ~ DD 3mths |

Youtube has some great postnatal workouts! Some are of varying lengths like 10 minutes, which is great with having a newborn. You just have to do a search.
Basically, healthy eating, toning exercises and cardio e.g. walking will help help you get back in shape. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
