Yes i am lucky! I didn't gain too much weight during pregnancy. I was 52 kg when i got pregnant and after pregnancy was weighing 63 kg. I didn't follow any diet because i am not good with diets. After giving birth i was eating a lot of junk food. Getting time to cook was very hard so reaching for something easy had become very common.
At my six weeks appointment with the GP was told to start exercising whenever i wanted and after two weeks when my daughter was 8 weeks old I did start doing a little exercise .
The main reason for me loosing weight quickly is having 2 babies under the age of two. Its very hard to put exercise in a very demanding daily routine but i decided to try.
Exercise..I started exercising everyday for 10 mins the first week. The second week I was going to exercise 5 days a week for 30 mins a day for the next five weeks. Every time i would turn the TV on and play exercising You Tube videos, it encouraged me to keep doing more exercising every time.
Breastfeeding.. Keep breastfeeding its natures way to help your body loose weight. I breastfed because i really wanted to and it meant so much to me and not to loose weight.
Healthy foods.. Getting to eat healthy made me feel very well about myself because I knew i was giving my body the right nutrients. Smoothies , lots of fruits , green salads etc but still didn't stop junk food completely. I needed a lot of energy to get through the day.
Water... You should be drinking a lot of water specially if breastfeeding because you don't want to get dehydrated. I would drink a bottle of 2L per day
Walking... Walks are great, having a park nearby has been great for me specially because i would take my children there , let my son run around and get myself some fresh air.
