How To Lose Weight Two Years After Baby

It has been about a month since I gave birth to my second baby and I cannot believe how fast time has gone by. Even more surprising is the fact that I have been able to bounce back so swiftly. Thanks to keeping fit during pregnancy using my prenatal home workout program, bouncing back was a lot easier than the first time around.

Since this was my second time being postpartum, I have learned a few tricks to getting your body back in no time. Some of these are no-brainers, but people still fail to abide by them! If you put in the work and effort-you WILL see results, people. That is a fact.

Wear a postpartum girdle and hip girdle. Postpartum girdles can aid in back support, help with muscle memory, provide support during breastfeeding, and decrease pressure on the back and legs. True abdominal compression wraps also speed up the recovery process after C-section surgery and aid in repairing Diastasis Recti or the condition in which your two abdominal halves split apart during pregnancy. The Belly Bandit BFF postpartum girdle helps to compress my uterus back down to its original size (sometimes even smaller!) while the Hip Bandit compresses my hips back down as well. Wearing these aids your muscle memory and makes it easier to bounce back for this very reason. It is best to take advantage of these products as soon as you deliver while the pregnancy hormone Relaxin is still in your bloodstream. This will allow your body to shrink back down since it’s so flexible during this time.

Wear your baby. Wearing your baby is a great way to get a workout in without even realizing it! Can you imagine carrying an extra 5lbs to 30lbs around with you wherever you go?

My favorite carrier is the Complete Embossed from Lillebaby. I actually own 3 Lillebaby carriers now and will be getting a fourth here shortly! I have tried many different brands and this one is by far my favorite.

Best Tips To Lose Weight After Pregnancy For New Moms

Drink lots of water. I am sure you have heard by now that drinking water is EVERYTHING. It controls everything in your body as well as your weightloss. How? It is a natural appetite suppressant and it regulates your metabolism. Don’t like the taste of water? No worries-I feel you!  Try adding sliced fruit to your water such as pineapple or strawberries for natural flavor. I have one of these water tracker bottles and they are so fun to use. They also truly do help keep you on track with how much water you are actually drinking per day.

Do not buy bigger clothes. Seriously, this is a trap! Hold onto your pre-baby clothes or buy some new smaller clothing for post-baby motivation. By purchasing bigger clothes, you will get more comfortable and thus you will not be as likely to reach your goals of dropping the baby weight. Not to mention, baggy clothes hides excess weight!

Get help. It is ok if you cannot do it on your own-that is why I am here! Use a personal trainer to help nudge you along the way and to provide all of the tools you will need for dropping the baby weight. Also, remember to seek support in a friend, family member, or even your spouse. Support goes a long way and can really make or break your motivation!

When Will My Postpartum Belly Go Away?

Make it a lifestyle. Do not think of it as a diet or a temporary habit. Think of dropping the weight and keeping it off-for good. To keep it off, you must continue living the healthy lifestyle you have chosen to see those pounds shed. Keep up your workout routines and clean eating habits, keep finding ways to get motivated, learn new recipes, and enjoy this new healthy life and you will go far!

If your baby is still waking several times a night, it might be time to chat with the maternal child health nurse to help you with some sleep strategies.

Every baby is different, so don’t panic if your baby isn’t sleeping through the night but it seems like everyone else’s baby is. My cheeky boys woke once or twice a night for the first 9 months of their lives. Just when I was at my wit’s end, they suddenly slept through. Those extra hours of uninterrupted sleep each night made all the difference to my energy, and that’s when I noticed the last few kilos dropped off. Plus because I felt more energy I found much more motivation to exercise.

It might be time to take a closer look at your portions. Have you recently weaned or dropped a feed, but haven’t adjusted your portion sizes down? How about snacks? Sometimes, when you feel too tired to prepare meals, or you’re bored, it’s easy to find yourself snacking throughout the day. All these snacks add up though, so if your baby weight isn’t budging, skip some of the snacks, or swap them for fresh, simple cut up veggies or a small piece of fruit.
