    I am in the same boat. My daughter is also 9 months old and I gained 65 lbs while pregnant. Are you BFing? I didn't really lose anything until after I stopped. I guess all the people that said BFing would make the weight just melt off lied to me haha. I'm not saying that works to lose weight, just that I found it hard to diet while BFing, Good luck!

    I lost a lot of weight by nursing. Since she is now 9 months that's no longer an option. I walked on the treadmill for 45 minutes 5 days a week. I did it when she was either napping or when she went to bed at night. Also used the Wii Active. Lots of great routines on there. Losing weight after pregnancy is hard cause you can't eat like you do when you are pregnant, although I wish I could, lol!

    Just watch your food intake, no snacking at night and just keep active. Hope that helps.

    I was 235lbs after my son was born, March 2010, and now I weigh 175lbs. Before I got pregnant I was 180-185lbs so I am slowly losing my college and university weight and hoping to get back to 150 which I haven't been since my first year of college. I did a post natal boot camp and used the baby as a weight. I am also a big fan of baby carriers..look for mom and baby zumba or salsa. Carrying our little ones adds that extra weight during cardio work outs and is a great way to lose calories. Just remember that it took 9 months to gain this baby weight, and in my case 5 years to gain the other 30-40 lbs so it will take time. You can get there though, and will because our children need us to lead the way!! Good luck!!

    I am desperate to lose my baby weight too! In my area the weather is always "iffy" even though that's the case I have taken a walk with my son (8 months) almost EVERY DAY for the past 6 months whether it was in the snow or rain we were out and about now that the weather is nice we walk at least 5 miles a day. My husband thinks it is my portion control (he has an issue with this as well :)...) I am willing to cut my portions down. ... but want results. Also, I know this is a total waste of calories but 4 nights a week mostly when my husband and I are catching up with each other, I enjoy a small glass or two of red wine and honestly I don't want to eliminate that from my diet....
