How do i loose this weight?

Question

I had my son almost three years ago, i now weigh 5 kg less than i did before i fell pregnant , but I'm pretty sure its just muscle loss. I used to dance 5 days a week, but quit not long before i fell pregnant, i do 30 minutes Pilates every second day , as i work as well and that's all ive time for. I eat well ,veggiesare my fave. But even though I'm im a fairly healthy person, i cant budge the extra kilos and my muscle mass is nothing compared to that of my previous dancers body :( Im 176cm tall and weigh approx 70kgs, i want to get to 65kgs with good muscle tone.

I also lift small weights twice a week...

Any quick fixes , as im kinda desperate and getting unmotivated about the whole thing.

Any suggestions are welcome. ta :)

Answer 1

working out will make you gain weight "more muscle=more weight" go on a diet but still work out

Answer 2

Do you drink plenty of water? It is great to flush out our system and amazing what different it can make to one's weight and skin. It's horrid how our body changes with each pregnancy. As long as you are eating a balanced diet and getting exercise things should improve. That is as long as you aren't eating more than you need. Perhaps check you plate sizes. (something that I had wrong) You do have to remember muscle weighs more than fat so keep doing what you are doing and eventually you will see the results.

If motivation is a problem do it with a friend - its great to have someone else to bounce things off of!

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I lost 12 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. I also lost a lot of inches too! I learned that cleansing will help the body get rid of toxins. Toxins come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives and lots of other things. The toxins get stored in the fat in our body. To get rid of the fat, we have to get rid of the toxins by cleansing the body. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow. I did Jenny Craig, Weight Watcher and Medifast.

Good luck whatever you decide to do! http://losebigweight.com

Gaining weight when having a child is just a part of the process so first of all you need to realise that this is perfectly normal and not to stress out. A lot of people will not reduce their weight, BUT what you can do is keep with the healthy food, and introduce more exercise. I know you don't have time but surely when you take your son places you can walk or catch a bus and get off a stop early, or maybe walk around the house doing chores, or even put a treadmill or exercise bike in front of the tv. If all else fails take 30mins less sleep. No time are the excuses we make for ourselves.
