    Breastfeeding burns a LOT of calories itself.

    I'm just working out a few times a week on my Wii Fit. I mainly do the cardio on that, since it's been so hot outside. I'm trying to eat more calories though, since I am nursing a 4 month old, but I am still often below my caloric intake on my exercise days. I'm planning on starting Zumba on the Wii, first and then trying it at a class, once I feel more comfortable.

    That's true, I've more or less lost all my pregnancy weight and then some more but really need to get active and lose the belly fat. I needed to lose weight prior to getting pregnant so still feel a need to do that albeit at a slower pace than before.

    :') you could always go running with your baby in a pram/stroller? its what celebrities do... must burn more calories pushing a pram and jogging/running at the same time :)
    you've got to be careful doing that though.
