Lose the Baby Weight

How many calorie diet plan is that??

sophia, OMG perfect timing. Iwent to the doctors and was weighed 20 lbs over since my daughter almost 9 months ago, I was going to start a new diet plan and was looking on line and here pops up exactly what I need from P.M.. I'm so excited to start.

I have never seen an article on helping nursing moms gain or maintain a healthy weight. I eat very healthy and have even added in some extra calories but I keep losing weight. It doesn't feel (or look) good - I'm down to 104 pounds and am a size 0. I would love to see some tips on what to eat to support nursing.

Who knew losing weight could be so hard after having a baby. I just had my second child after 14 years and gained 52 lbs going from 124 to 176. She is four months old i have lost about 25lbs so far with breast feeding and some exercise. Feel as if i am not focused anymore so looking forward to trying this out...the meals sound good

had my son almost a year ago and had dropped 18 lbs. me and the father broke up and i had gained all that back and then some. im trying to start a diet today and see how it goes. going to go on a strict diet today and keep it going until my 23st birthday may 7th wish me luck!!

i just recently had a baby 6 months ago and i gained 60lbs and have lost 45lbs so far, and i personally love ice cream and all sorts of sweets, but i finally found my healthy snack that suffices my sweet tooth, its frozen strawberries with a little bit of splenda i think its like 50 calories per 8 strawberies and frozen grapes are also delicious :D

I have started this eating plan and it is filling. I do use other vegetables as well e.g steamed cauliflower and courgette with cumin spice.However, I think you will need more calories if you are breastfeeding because if you don't have enough calories toxins will be release into your breastmilk. Here is to getting our bodies back.

Who has the time to make this stuff?

I have been following a similar program for about a month and have lost 1.5 pounds. I wonder if there is something wrong with my thyroid? I have also been doing strength training and interval cardio three times a week.

I'd like to know what the sub for swiss cheese was too and how do I get more recipes. I can't eat those five meals forever but I want to continue. I lost five pounds my first 10 days.

This sounds like a great meal plan, I don't eat fish and that seems the go to meal with diet plans:( Would love everyones support with this mom of three last baby born over three years ago and still look preggo:( Would love to tone up and eat healthy, but not being a big fan on cooking~ we will have to see how this goes:) good luck everyone:)

I'm going to try it. seems the food is delicious anyway, so should be easy and I am way overweight. used to weigh 120-125 and now weigh 180, 2 years after childbirth.

Any suggestions or substitutions for a gluten free diet? Obviously alot of these suggestions are not gluten free.

Hey momma's look at what I found! :]

ive lost 40lbs in 3.5 months! not doing this but similiar to this, its so easy eat healthy and keep active, i have 2 kids and no its not easy but excuses are history!

Do you have a substitute for Swiss cheese? I don't like Swiss at all. Would love to try this and see if it would work for me.

well i just stopped breastfeeding my 8month old son and im gonna start the program we'll see how it goes.

I am starting the plan in the morning, I hope i can follow through since I have a BIG commitmment issue with weight loss program/ healthy eating/ exercise. I would appreciate your support through this new adventure.

I wish I'd started this back in January but I've lost over 12 pounds in 3 weeks by just eating healthier and dancing to Shawn T's Rockin Bodies workouts.

Yeah I would like to see more vegetable meals on here but for the most part looks healthy and delicious...I'm EXCITED and ready to get started

Well everyone I've been on the plan 2 weeks and have lost 5lbs...without exercising. I will begin my exercising today. Good luck everyone!

Burning fat while breastfeeding can release toxins stored in your body fat directly into your breastmilk. Make sure you do plenty of research and consult with a doctor who is experienced with breastfeeding, before you begin a diet/exercise regimen while nursing. It is risky. Best to wait until the baby is weaned to focus on losing the weight.

I am using this diet and I am lactose intolerant as well. I just replace the milk products with the soy equivalent. It seems to be working so far. When the lunch/dinner calls for fresh mozzarella, I use Veggie Slices Mozzerella flavored soy cheese. It tastes great!

every thing looked great cant wait to try this diet plan, hope it works

We really miss more vegetable content on some of the menu selections, but want to fix meals that everyone in the family eats. Ideas?

The March issue said there were more meal ideas at parents.com/babyweight but I can't find them. Has anyone seen the additional menus?

I've started using this plan over the last week. Every meal is very filling and th lunches are flavorful. The dinners, however, are a little lacking in taste. What spices could I add to increase the flavor. And what alternative could I use to brussel sprouts - I really dislike them and can't imagine eating them without butter.

Or if your significant other is lactose intolerant!

What if I don't like fish or can't eat fish. Are there any other options?
