I'm losing weight after my third baby at the moment. I lost it after my other two, so it's possible. The hardest for me is the tiredness, especially with two other children. There's no sleeping when baby sleeps when you have a 3 year old and a 5 year old and a husband who works shifts. If you're up from 5am, and don't get to bed until late, it's hard to not eat anything in the evening sometimes. Sometimes I'm so tired (3 hours broken sleep due to teething baby) I really fancy something sweet. However, my willpower (and vanity lol) is strong!
I also work out a lot, and walk a lot, which helps.
I drink 4 cups a day usually. Hasn't done me any harm. It doesn't keep me up either...that would be my baby who does that

And considering I drink coffee with just milk and it fits into my calorie allowance, then it doesn't make a scrap of difference to weight loss. I lost 66lbs after my 2nd baby, all my baby weight plus another 30lbs!
Its a energy drink
How long it toke u to lost the baby weight
I expect it has more calories in it than a cup of coffee with milk.
It took me just over a year to lose the baby weigh after my other two, but I think it might take a little longer this time. I found, especially after my 2nd, that I lost a lot faster once she turned a year old. Not sure if it's to do with hormones or something.0 -
I finally committed to weight loss and fitness after my second baby. I gained 50 lbs and after my 6 week check up, I started exercising regularly and calorie counting.
Focus on calories in vs out for weight loss. Exercise for fitness. Both are great to incorporate but sometimes with a LO, exercise can be sporadic. I'd try to at least do dancing games when my littlest would sleep (my eldest thought it was funny). Make sure you're getting good sleep (well, as good as you can!) and don't try to pick an overly aggressive deficit. Log consistently and honestly. Even if you have days over. Baby steps
Don't fall for diet schemes and fads. There's no such thing as spot reduction and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Remember slow weight loss wins over quick. And patience. The scale will fluctuate, you're looking for a downward trend over weeks, not days. Here's a great read

There is no magic tea. Eat at a caloric deficit and you'll lose.0

No harder than anyone else losing weight gained for any other reason. Pregnancy fat isn't special.0

How many babies have you had?
It is harder as you still have pregnancy hormones in your body, and you're sleep deprived. My baby is 11 months nearly and still wakes in the night.
I've found with my other two babies that the weight doesn't start to really fall off until they turn 1. No idea why, I don't change anything.0 -
Its harder to lose baby fat
6 months ago first baby0 -

Actually, the roller coaster of post-pregnancy hormone fluctuations (which can take anywhere from several months to a year to level off) compounded with additional stress and lack of consistent adequate rest does contribute significantly to difficulty with weight loss after baby.0
