How old is your baby? With the eating thing, keep in mind that if you are breast feeding you still DO need to eat extra. I was pregnant hungry for the first 6 months of my baby's life, and I didn't realize that that was why! I thought it was all in my head, but it definitely wasn't. I actually DID need to eat that extra food still! And I was also very depressed about how much extra weight I was carrying after having my baby, but I was just too impatient about it. I slowly lost weight over the months, and then from 5-6 months I lost 15 pounds! And that's without moving a muscle! Anyway I thought I'd just add that in case your baby is still young and you're impatient like I was! Now I'm still about 10 lbs overweight and I have no excuses anymore...but it's a lot better than the 20 lbs I was a few months after my baby was born!

doesnt it suck! ive been working my butt off at the gym for over a month and im nearly back to pre body weight. i just love having my body back and being fit again. swimming is great cause you're lighter in the water and because it's cardio u lose more weight. i really wanna get pregs again and i decided when i get back to my pre body weight we'll start trying again. good luck!

I have bought an elliptical and joined weight watchers. And I agree you have to place it somewhere that you will use it. I have mine in an extra room with a tv, but my friend put hers in the kitchen. Whatever works! I highly recommend WW. I love food and it is not about deprivation, but portion control and making good choices. Good luck!

I have the same problem. It's so nice to hear that I'm not the only one. I'm going to try the Special K challenge. Maybe once I get into a routine it'll be easier. Maybe. Let me know if you find anything else that works. Email me if you want. sbrngriffin@yahoo.com

I just got Wii fit for my birthday... so we'll see if that works :P

It's hard when you can't go to the gym and if you don't have a Wii maybe you can get some work out videos.

im with you ...i still have a bit of a tummy and it just wont go away.. i guess sit ups are my only choice to get my abs back but i hate them. i walk all the time, we dont have a car plus my kids school is up the street. and i do the wii fit also at home. so now i guess its time for those nasty sit ups..lol good luck to you

I joined a gym and I go for an hour at least three times a week.  I exercise and I get out of the house a little a little break from everything it's really nice.  I also have a wii and that helps to exercise at home plus I walk my dogs once a day for like 2 blocks.  So I'd say find some way to exercise regularly and find little ways to stay active.  You can try appetite suppressers like special K water is one and they have drink packets that supposidly help control hunger. Hope that helped.
