do The Master Cleanse. aka "The Lemonade Diet". you'll drop like 10 lbs in a week. it's pretty much a liquid diet, but the purpose is for detox, not weight loss, although it's a given that you'll drop weight on just liquids.
oh, and don't worry too much about it for now, she's still so little. wait until she starts walking. my sister dropped like 15lbs just because when they get to that age, you can't take your eye off them for even 2 seconds, so she stopped having time to sit down and eat and was constantly chasing my nephew around the house. :stongue: |

Ok, I'll give you 3 tips that can really help.
1. Cut the sodas and candy
They are just empty calories, no two ways around it. They don't do anything beneficial for your body. I know they are comforting and make you feel good but, once you get over the craving to eat them you will feel better overall.
2. Eat early, eat often
Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day and you should eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the course of the day, as opposed to three big meals. This keeps your metabolism higher and allows you to burn more calroies. Whenever possible, don't eat after 7 pm, even snacks, this will help you burn calories all through night. Additionally, the calories you eat later at night are more likely to be stored as fat.
3. Eat balanced meals. You should have a little bit of fat, carbs, and protein at every meal. This also helps stabilize your blood sugar and keeps your metabolism up.
These are just some general rules and I wrote this pretty quickly, so just ask me if something is unclear. |

You can...run around the house?
edit // A big +1 to the no sodas, I lost 10 pounds EASY but just not drinking soda anymore. The best thing to do is completely cut it out, don't even move to diet because that doesn't help the case any. |

| If you can't go running outside, get a workout DVD. One that will help you lose weight as well as tone. |

Here is another general tip for weightloss, this time on the exercise side:
The best way to burn fat (well, second best) is to perform cardiovascular exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This forces your body to draw on it's stored calories (fat). You can consume water prior and during the exercise but, NO FOODS WITH CALORIES. |

All she has to do is change her eating habits, it shouldn't be time consuming at all. |

How would a home workout dvd be taking time away from her baby? Place in DVD player, baby cries or whatever, pause fix baby crying, play dvd, workout ensues. |

| what i'm getting at is that having a new baby in the house drains you physically and mentally. she's probably not getting nearly enough sleep as she needs or is used to, so when the baby is napping, i'm sure she needs to catch up on her own sleep...that's all. |

But yeah, cutting out the soda is a nice way to start. And it's easier than you think. I stopped drinking soda basically on principle; I realized that ALL I was drinking was pop and NOTHING else. Once I realized the idiocy of such a practice (going through a 12 pack in a day or two was not out of the ordinary) I decided to remove it from my diet. I still love fountain drinks though and that kinda sucks when I go out. I only give in every once in a while. It's all about moderation. |
