    I would first of all love it :) and then do what people are saying but don't ever get down about it as a woman's body has a wonderful magically purpose. You'll get there!

    I did have a body like yours :)

    Lift weights, follow a good diet high in protein and following MFP's calories.

    Do some cardio... lift weights.

    Be patient.

    i think (i stand to be corrected) her body needs to be more fully recovered before she can start heavy lifting. 2 months is too soon, i suspect?

    Haven't read all the replies, but definitely keep breastfeeding if you are, it will help with weight loss. And just healthy diet and exercise, being mindful of the fact that if you are breastfeeding you need to give yourself another 500 calories a day than what you'd normally have. Doesn't look like you had a ceasar so you should be right to do light to moderate exercise straight away I would think?

    Definitely drink water!!!!! Helps with milk production, thererfore helping with weight loss. Also, make sure you're getting enough cals if your nursing. about 300 more a day than normal. But just eat clean. What do you want your baby to eat? Fried foods with lots of salt and sugar? or foods in a more natural state so they get vitamins and nutrients? That has helped me get started because I didn't want my baby girl to have what I was eating. So instead, I changed what I was eating. Congrats and good luck!

    Hey Hun

    Don't be too hard on yourself you have not long had a baby.
    First of all I have to say great curves, you have great boobs and from looking at the photos it seems to me the only place that needs a little exercise is around your stomach.

    Jillian Michaels 30 day shred is excellent, i got quick results from doing this dvd and it only costs something like £5 to buy online.
    Also what diet are you following?
    If you are breastfeeding i have heard this can help with weight loss too. And you will need some extra calories to allow for this.
    And if you are worried about the stretchmarks get some cocoa butter for stretch marks and vitamin e tablets. These will really help.
    Give yourself a few months and im sure you will be feeling great again. xxx

    Can I just say for being 2 months post postpartum, you look damn good. Your stomach is a lot tighter than mine after I had my last baby. My belly is all loose and saggy and looks like a butt!

    I don't see a c-section scar, so 2 months is just fine. Usually 6 weeks is the recovery time for a normal healthy delivery.
