Have you tried intermittent eating? I found it to be slow going, but did work for me while I was sticking to it. Once I gave up the weight came back on. It might be worth giving it a try and you might have more success than I did.

It doesn’t happen fast. YOu’re doing all the right things – maybe try to step up your exercise levels a bit. That made th biggest difference to me.

There’s some fantastic recipes right here in MoM which are really healthy and delicious but also hole healthy eating plans and heaps will show up. Good luck!

I put on weight due to medication and being a independent consultant which the company has now gone into health shakes. Ive tried this and got doctors okay to do so. So was good to be able to get the products and try them and I have already started to lose some weight. Not only that I normally don’t feel like eating so this has helped me get vitamins and minerals I needed. I found some of the other shakes ive try made me feel sick. So now going to get Hubby on to lose the pot belly.

I base it on a weight loss regime I have a while ago. It was a book from dr John tickled. The more processed the food is the worse it is for you. Obvious right! Even some of the foods you think my be good for you generally aren’t as they have been overhandeled. Try eating foods in the purest form. Lots of steamed foods. Lightly grilled etc. but make sure you still include some not so good foods for you every five days or so. Helps your body learn to process them and get rid of them instead of storing it. I lost 25 kgs doing this.
I am now doing the same thing now. As I lost the baby weight through anxiety then it can back so on the healthy train!, also try to change your exercise routine every time. Shake it up. If you do the same things everyday your body won’t respond towards the end.
Good luck!

I was doing an app called the virtually gastric band app. they have a facebook page called easy loss. I find that helped. im still breast feeding so im lucky I can eat more

I had another baby and after the second was born I dropped all my baby weight from both because I kept forgetting to eat lunch. Doh! I also go for an evening walk which includes pushing the kids up huge hills in the pram.

yeah take bub for a walk and try less processed foods. if you are breastfeeding, just be careful about your diet. don’t stress, you will get there

You can stick to eating raw fruit and veg for 4 wks…and lots of situps,its the only way to get a flat tummy back.

I have found just doing a 30 minute walk everyday has helped me to lose the last few kilos and has also given me my tummy back as while im walking im doing pelvic floor exercises.

I wouldn’t be trying diets or shakes I would try clean eating.

start eating super clean. it will fall off. i also downloaded the app ‘couch to 5km’ its awesome and really works!!!

With my 3rd baby I gained 17kgs, lost it with myfitnesspal within 8 months. just over a year on and I have gained it ALL back including the baby weight part without having the baby inside I went back to old habits and stopped calorie counting. What I suggest is do it slow and something you can maintain. Allow for treats and even if its a few hundred grams a week it will stay off if you are just making small changes rather then big ones that you may not stick too.

I think everyone is different, so whilst this works for me, you may need to find your own special equation – when you actually have time, walk a lot! If you can manage to do strength training x2 per week plus cardio x2 per week this will definitely help. But the diet is a big part for me – lots of water, no soft drink or alcohol and I limit complex carbs especially at dinner time – steak, chicken, fish with veges, casseroles, stir frys (not a lot of pasta, rice, bread and potato). For lunch – fruit with lo fat yoghurt and salads with tuna or chicken, cubes of cheese, olives, artichokes. If you have a sweet tooth – a small piece of dark choc, mini protein bar or a weight watchers bar really hits the spot but are low in fat.

3 green tea’s a day and oats for breakfast with rice milk. Lunch steamed fish and vegies. walk everyday for 40 mins and also uphill.

I have struggled with this for 5 yrs! I tried everything and finally I joined Curves and it was the best thing I ever did! I exercise 3-5 days a week – 1/2 hour workouts. I have a pedometer to ensure that my steps are up…the aim is to reach 10,000 steps a day! Of course water intake is huge so 2-3L a day. And basically eating right…I start with breakfast, then snack, lunch, snack and dinner. Most vegetables are what I call free foods and can eat as much of when ever I want. I have switched to leaner meats, grains and legumes, whole wheat products.
An example of typical day for me, starts with Water as soon as I wake up. I have either cereal, toast with eggs or with ham and avocado. Snack would be fruit with nuts. Lunch a wrap, sandwich, or salad. Second snack a latte with some carrot sticks or rice crackers with natural peanut butter on it. Dinner heaps of veg or salad with palm size protein…I like to have grilled salmon with cous cous, green beans and baby broccoli…YUM!

I’m also in the same boat having had twins in March this year. I’m struggling also but like Chrissy said I think the key to help is someone doing it with you. It will also help a lot if your partner is eating the same as you to avoid temptation. Look at increasing your level of exercise also as you may not be pushing as much as you think you can. Good luck.

After a few months of getting up every five minutes for baby as well as a healthy meal guide I had no struggle and did not need a gym. I also walk everywhere I do not drive so walking is definitely a great way to stay fit and is free

If you have already made good changes to your diet and activity levels and aren’t seeing results it may be worth having your thyroid levels checked. Low thyroid hormone levels is not uncommon after pregnancy and could be a contributing factor.
I’ve had success using Michelle Bridges cookbooks to kickstart my weight loss, and it so helps to have an accountability buddy. good luck.

I struggled with this also for a long time. In the end I paid to register in the Michelle Bridges 12WBT. I must admit it is a little pricey though and you could probably do it without actually registering. Basically it is counting every calorie you put in your mouth, a women we can have 1200 a day. Exercising as much as you can. I did one round of her program and then did the rest on my own. I lost the most weight when i weighed in every week and recorded my weight, as well as measuring my tummy, hips ect.. It is also good to have a friend doing it with you, to encourage you. Good luck it is very hard!!! Why is it so easy to put weight on but so darn hard to loose it???
