[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t been trying to lose weight specifically but I did want to feel like my body way my own again. I started going for walks 1-2 weeks after birth, fit into my normal clothes at 4-5 weeks after birth, and started normal intensity exercise around 6 weeks. Currently about 4 months out, my non-pregnancy clothes fit, although I can tell I’m still a bit chunkier than I used to be. With breastfeeding I really can’t reduce what I eat; if I try and skip even one snack I start getting lightheaded, so I’m trying to focus on exercise and getting my muscles (especially pelvic floor and abs) back under control. This is my first kid; I understand it’s harder on subsequent deliveries.[/quote]
