Hi Lose Baby Weight!

Thought I would share my story on how far I have come with my weight loss journey after I found the Lose Baby Weight Plans. On the 22nd of January 2011 I gave birth to my beautiful daughter and I weighed a total of 125 kilos.

At the time I didn’t care because I was so smitten with being a first time mum.

During my pregnancy I had gained around 35 kilos. When I fell pregnant I was already a little overweight due to being so comfortable in my relationship I hadn’t noticed the few extra kilos I had piled on.

So Easter is nearly here and like Christmas, it is the time of year when we tend to overindulge and can gain weight or can go off track with our weight loss plan.

But we have thirteen EGGCELLENT tips to help keep you on track and still make sure you have a great Easter – we hope you find our tips helpful!

1. Pick ONE day over Easter to indulge. Kind of like a cheat meal day. It is much easier to recover from one bad day than 4!
2. Eat your choccies early in the day before 3pm, you will be more likely to burn it off that way.
3. Choose good quality chocolate over the cheap stuff. It’s likely to contain more cocoa that sugar.

Hi all at the lose baby weight team,

My name is Sara Collins, I have been using the lose baby weight plans and healthy mummy smoothies for two & a half months now.

We’re always looking for the best ways to get back in shape after giving birth and there are so many things that we can do to achieve our lose baby weight goals. But there are a few tiny things that we can add in or detract from our weight loss plans so that we can get bigger results from the same amount of effort.

Skipping breakfast

Yup, it is absolutely essential that you eat the most important meal of the day. Eating the right types of food for breakfast will help alter our metabolism to give us more energy throughout the day. You’re going to need a lot of energy to help you keep up with the activities of the day, especially when it comes to your post pregnancy exercise plans. Whole grains and fruits are an amazing way to start off the day and it’ll make you feel refreshed and energized!

Adopting poor eating habits

We understand that a lot of people are skipping meals every day because they want to lose weight as soon as possible. But you have to remember that when you skip meals and go off your diet plan, you will feel hungry later on and will tend to overeat. Not only that, poor eating habits will also slow down your calorie burn in the long run and makes it tougher for your body to lose weight.

If there’s one thing we could rank as most precious to a busy mum (and dad), it would have to be sweet, sweet sleep. Before becoming parents, opportunities for snooze time abounded, but once your first little bundle of joy arrives, all that changes!

Dear Lose Baby Weight.

Thank you for putting on the January Challenge! After going on your 28 Day plan and weight loss plans, I have reached my goal of getting back in to the 70s (kgs) and I am feeling fit and healthy. I also lost 9cm off my waist!

We all know how important protein is when it comes to healthy eating and weight loss. Not only does protein help provide us with the energy we require to function, it also acts as the building blocks for our muscles.

Almost every cell and structure in our body is partly made up of protein, so making sure you’re getting enough from your diet is incredibly important.

When it comes to eating for weight loss, it can sometimes feel as if the recipes that you need to cook are packed with loads of different ingredients that you might not already have, or that take longer than you have of an evening to cook.It’s great to have a couple of quick and easy, family friendly meals up your sleeve to intersperse with some of the more adventurous or time consuming dishes you want to try.

Having a regular roster of healthy, weight loss friendly favourites means that coming up with a meal when you’re in a hurry or running low on ingredients, is far easier.

Wow – can’t believe how much the past 2 months have flown by!!  I am loving being a mum of 2 and life is hectic but absolutely fantastic!

As I wrote 8 weeks ago I wasn’t going to put any pressure on myself to lose my pregnancy weight and was going to follow our healthy eating plans plus go for a daily walk, then when I felt that I did want to focus more on exercise and losing weight then I would – but that it would be on my own terms depending on how life with my new bubba went.

And on this note, I think it is very important to state that for some mums this feeling of being 100% emotionally and physically ready to lose pregnancy weight can be a few weeks after birth and for others it can be well over a year – and for many it is more than 5.

There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to losing weight and there are so many personal circumstances and reasons which contribute to when you feel ready – so only do it when you feel ready and enjoy the time with your baby.

I gained 19kg in my second pregnancy and over the first 2 weeks lost 9kg from the birth and fluid loss (my bub weighed 4kg and I was carrying a lot of fluid too).  My pre pregnancy weight was 54kg and 2 months on I am at 64kg.

Hi Lose Baby Weight, This is my weight lose story after being on your lose baby weight loss plans;

After having my daughter I thought I would never be able to get back to the size I used to be so I never really put much effort in to losing weight.

Then when I fell pregnant with my son I was still 10kg over my pre baby weight so I was determined to put on minimal weight and attempt to keep fit during my pregnancy but despite my efforts I put on 12kg during the pregnancy.

After my son was born I wanted to get back in shape and attempt to get to my pre baby weight from my daughter. Then by the time he
