Getting rid of my pregnancy weight gain

Hello All! I'm now 8 months post partum after having a set of twins in December 2011. My first attempt at losing my weight was Insanity when I was 4 months post partum. DEFINITELY a big mistake. My body (and my mind) was not ready for that type of intense work out. One week ago, I started the Body By Vi shake. I'm also using the Walk Slim DVD and walk 4 miles at least 2-3 times a week. I also bought some resistance tubes to tone up my muscles--not too much since I don't want to be to muscle-y :-)
Anyhoo, this website is so helpful! I really am able to monitor my food intake which is great! So far I've lost 4 lbs in 8 days. I know most of that was probably water weight, but hey, at least I am still motivated. Looking forward to seeing others results and getting tips when/if I reach those dreaded weight loss pleateus.

    I'm 12 months postpartum and looking to lose the baby weight as well. Good luck to you and I hope the weight keeps coming off for you!
