Hello I just had a baby 4 months ago and I'm trying to lose 30-60 pounds by the summer. I know it's a wide range but I want to be flexible, lol. My main concern is losing my stomach. For the last couple of weeks I've been running 2 miles a day. I even did a 5k the other week. Is there anyone who can give me advice on what other exercises are good to do to help lose weight after pregnancy?

    Congratulations! Other than some exercise and good eating habits, I can't help much. I'll ask my wife what she did. She just had our first 6 weeks ago and she's almost back to her pre-birth weight.

    What finally helped was doing the 30 day shred and running. Mostly running. I keep going back to that because it's one of the only things I like to do.
    Most other stuff for me I can't stick with.
    Just try different things to see what you like.
    Good luck!

    Hi I am new as well. I have been doing this Hip Hop Dance DVD that focuses on your abs area and it is working. Plus I walk daily. I have lost 16 pounds since 3/8/11. Water is a big key to loosing weight too you really have to get in those 8 glasses of water a day. I stuck to those 8 glasses and it helped tremendously. Good luck to you.

    Welcome to MFP!! This is a great site with so many supportive people! I just started Tae Bo and also use Leslie Sansone walking videos, they are great! Once it gets warmer outside I will be walking/jogging 5 miles at least 3 times per week!! Good luck, you will do great!!
