Plus-Sized Moms: Lose Baby Weight Fast

Some supermodels famously fail to gain weight during pregnancy. Former Spice Girl and soccer superstar David Beckham's wife Victoria Beckham told the press that her weight gain while she was pregnant with their fourth child, Harper, was less than a beer belly. Entrepreneur and reality TV star Ivanka Trump posed forPlayboyduring her pregnancy. In 2010, television personality Bethany Frankel reported she had lost 31 pounds (13.5 kilograms) in less than month after giving birth.

Most mothers, however, definitely show weight gain during pregnancy and take a lot longer than a month to get back to normal and probably have healthier children. New mothers who don't have housekeepers, trainers, drivers, and chefs have a lot more to do than just to lose weight, but even ordinary moms usually can get their figures back, eventually.Here are 10 tips for losing weight after baby is born:1. Forget about dieting until your baby is six weeks old.

The first step in weight loss for most new mothers is to be absolutely sure you aren't still eating for two. It is more important not to gain weight, at least for the first few weeks, than it is to lose it.2. Breastfeed your baby as often as possible.

Breastfeeding confers babies with distinct advantages. Breast milk is almost the perfect food for a growing child. (It may be deficient in vitamin D, but getting sun, without sunburn, takes care of that deficiency.) Breastfed babies are less likely to develop allergies and eczema, and they gain their mothers' immune resistance to many diseases. Babies who are fed mother's milk are less likely to be obese as adults and score higher on IQ tests, Moreover, mothers who breastfeed their babies lose pregnancy weight faster.

The effects of breastfeeding on weight loss can be dramatic. In one study, mothers who breastfed, on average, weighed 2 pounds (1 kilo) less three months after giving birth than they didbeforethey got pregnant. Even when mothers have trouble adjusting their eating habits after giving birth, breastfeeding helps prevent continuing weight gain.3. Get more exercise than just carrying baby around.

Taking care of a baby can be a real workout in itself, but it doesn't exercise all the muscle groups. To prevent injuries and to encourage all your muscles to burn calories, get at least a little baby-free exercise time. A baby-friendly gym can be a place to reconnect with adult friends, especially at "mommy and me" classes offered at many gyms. As your child gets older, a little time with babysitters at the gym will help with the development of social skills.

How much exercise is enough? Most experts recommend 150 minutes (two and one-half hours) a week, ideally about half an hour at a time, five times a week. If it is simply impossible to find an uninterrupted half hour, exercise 10 minutes at a time 15 times a week, any time exercise is possible. If you have had few opportunities to do any kind of exercise during pregnancy, start out with very easy resistance exercise. Even lifting a couple of soup cans can rebuild muscles, and muscles burn fat and store sugars to improve not just weight but also general health.

Looking for ways to get a few minutes of exercise? Ease back into exercise with simple moves that include your baby in your routine:Dance! Put on your favorite dance music and do a little dance for your baby. One mother reports that she puts on cheesy 80's disco music and does disco dancing while baby watches.

Try baby-cise. Carefully balance your baby as you do sit-ups, squats, and arm lifts.Move the diaper changing station upstairs, downstairs, or any place you have to take a few extra steps to take care of your baby.

4. Eat fish, or take fish oil or microalgae oil.

Fish is a superfood for new moms. Cold-water fish is a great source of the essential fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which minimizes inflammation, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which builds healthy nerves. Part of mother's DHA and EPA finds its way to breast milk, and helps the baby develop faster and smarter; results continuing even years after breastfeeding have been discontinued.

EPA also reduces inflammation in fat tissues and allows greater circulation of fluids that would otherwise be trapped inside. Getting rid of these fluids takes off weight without exercise or calorie restriction.

Three 3-1/2 oz (100 gram) servings of fish every week is enough. If you don't care for fish, take fish oil or microalgae oil--but avoid alcohol. Alcohol damages EPA and DHA so that they cannot exert their beneficial health effects, and can even cause atherosclerosis.5. Avoid (or, even better, eliminate) sugary foods.

Sugar-sweetened soft drinks, sweet tea, sugar-sweetened fruit juice, snack cakes, cookies, ice cream, and candy do not add calories that can be turned into fat. They also increase inflammation that can add water weight. Especially if you notice achy joints after eating sugar, you need to avoid sugar in all its forms.6. Hide problem foods.

If you let yourself eat whole bags of chips or packages of cookies while you were pregnant, put your most tempting goodies out of sight to keep them out of mind. Many mothers keep snacks in the freezer, preferably a freezer in a garage or a basement, requiring additional effort to eat them.

Save the foods you know you shouldn't eat but you really want to eat for those times when the urge is overwhelming. Then eat slowly, and less than you really want. Snack foods and desserts usually keep for later.

7. If you can't cut back a lot, cut back a little.

If you usually eat cheese on meat in your sandwich, skip the cheese and just eat the meat. If you usually eat two sandwiches at a meal, eat one. Avoid the chips and candy aisles when you go grocery shopping. If you just have to have a dessert, try a pudding cup or a 100-calorie package of cookies or nuts.8. Use a stroller.

Take your baby outside in a stroller every day the weather permits. You get exercise, and your baby gets fresh air and vitamin D. Taking a different route every day, as long as the neighborhood is safe, helps you burn more calories. It takes more energy to walk along a new route than along an old one.9. Play with the pooch.

Walking the family dog, and exercising with the dog, burns calories and is great for the dog.

10. Toss the take-out menus.

Take-out meals come in larger portions than you would probably cook for yourself. To keep customers happy, restaurants make sure to include fat, salt, and flavorings that encourage you to eat more, more, more. Cook low-fat, easy meals for yourself, and limit take-out and sit-down restaurant meals to just once or twice a month, and avoid fast food and Starbucks, too.

The first year of your baby's life is likely to be a very busy time. It can be almost impossible to juggle the demands of taking care of your child with the demands of dieting. These ten tips can help you take off extra weight without the stress of dieting.

2. Current weight and how much weight have you gained in pregnancy?

Laura: There is not anything in particular to say. I simply gained fifteen pounds before pregnancy and another 40 in pregnancy (I had twins, which contributed to such a large excess). At my height of 56 230 lbs was way too much.After childbirth, a classic story: I had nothing to wear.

I'm sick of the suit pants, I could not go anywhere because of the lack of a more or less decent wardrobe. My husband was thin he had 150 pounds so I was in such a shame that I cannot describe to you.

I saw that my husband was chatting with a former girlfriend, so I decided to do something in terms of personal appearance. Around that time, I read online about some guy who lost nearly 80 pounds and then I decided to act.

I contacted that guy; we started to write to each other, made a strategy to lose weight and to my great joy it was a big hit since I lost a good part of my excess weight. I still have 15-20 lbs to take off and that will, I am sure, go quickly. All the time during dieting I had great support from my online buddy and my mom.

Anyway, my husband does not correspond with his ex, meaning that, in some way, I can to thank her for my change (if it not been for her I would not have started my diet).

Myra: My problem with weight started from the moment when I moved to America in early 2010. When I arrived I had 150 lbs (my height is 57). A new way of life and nutrition led to the fact that, in a period of 3-4 months, I put on 15 pounds. In the middle of that same year, I conceived, and of course there went all my hope to lose that extra weight.

During the pregnancy I gained about 40 pounds and gave birth weighing nearly 205 lbs. After the birth, I lost about 25 pounds and kept the weight of 180 pounds for about the year in fact, until the beginning of 2012.

Sarah: After giving birth, I went back to normal in less than a year. I know, it seems a long time but I am otherwise inclined to gaining weight. I have never been on a diet to lose weight; I was always around 155 pounds. But pregnancy caused me to gain weight. Do not worry about your weight, because it is proof that you are healthy, people say.

Dorothy: I did not lose any weight during pregnancy. Everything was after my baby was born and was around 8-9 months old.

I am not sure losing weight loss during pregnancy is a good idea; you need to consult your doctor on this.

As for my weight loss, I never diet. I set calorie limit and eat at that.I tried eating healthy and walked a lot when I was pregnant and gained 35 pounds overall.

Mary: I gained about 30lbs during pregnancy but I had gained almost 100 lbs from a prior pregnancy and car accident. It's all different on time to lose since it depends on the muscle you gain too.

I bought a body fat percentage reader off Amazon when I started to lose weight a couple of years ago, that's what you should focus on since weight isn't accurate.

I have a friend that's considered obese per his weight but he's a body builder with 9% body fat. So you have to learn that weight isn't always right. If you are going 100% hardcore you can lose about a 1 lb a week or 4-5 lbs a month but that's a really strict diet/workout plan.

Jane: When I met my husband I was 135 lbs but a little too skinny for my build so he made sure I put on weight. I'm 5'2".

When I got pregnant 8 months later I was up to 145ish where I thought I could lose a couple pounds but we were trying for a baby so I wasn't worried about it. I was 180-185 when I gave birth and 175 right after. 2 week postpartum I was 165, and now, 7 weeks postpartum I'm 155.

Beth: During pregnancy I gained around 35 lbs. But with my sickness after the delivery, I gained about 15-20 more which rounded me at about 50 lbs gained from baby-ness. I didn't start really trying to lose weight and work out until late July/August.

So that's around 5 1/2 months to lose 45 lbs. I'm not losing like crazy every week, sometimes it's a .5lb loss and sometimes it's no loss. (Sometimes it's 2 lbs!) It really just depends on what you have done that week.

Rita: I have gained all 65 pounds back that I initially lost and now I need/want to lose 100.

I really wouldn't recommend losing weight during pregnancy, just eat healthy and walk. If you are trying to lose weight while pregnant you should consult with your physician.

3. Have you been on some diet/weight loss program prior to pregnancy?

Patricia: I did enjoy going to the gym prior to pregnancy, but I have fairly difficult pregnancies so I stopped going fairly early on out of worry. Now honestly I dance with my baby a lot, and my three year old, just put on music and have fun it helps reduce stress and gets us all moving. I also play Just Dance on the Wii when they are napping.

I like cardio core videos and we also have a cardio zumba DVD that's fun. I don't really believe in weight loss diet programs unless a doctor says you should try a specific cut back on something.

And I always recommend staying away from anything that has artificial sweeteners in it. Many years ago I did weight watchers, and now I'm doing this and I find both highly effective for me, but everyone is different.

Beth: I was fit before my pregnancy and just kept a decently healthy lifestyle. I would work out maybe 3-4 times a week and eat decently healthy. (We were also trying to conceive so I was trying really hard to get my body into the healthiest possible) I was doing a Jillian Michaels routine that kills. Everyone I've talked to has been injured by it and I was at one point also. When I got pregnant I started a prenatal bootcamp that kept me moving for the first 4-5 months of pregnancy. After 7 months my husband didn't want me doing anything so that's when my weight, not the baby's weight, started coming.

After the delivery, my baby was very sick and we couldn't focus on anything but keeping her alive and trying to put weight on her for the first 4 months. I packed on even more weight then.

Finally when I decided to start again, I started off with cardio kickboxing workouts I found on Pinterest, Walk away the pounds on YouTube, and then finally yoga and weights.

I keep my workouts pretty varied now just to keep my body constantly surprised. It keeps you losing weight and never lets you get too comfortable and lax about what you're doing.
