    Eat at a deficit.

    It's the same as losing weight at any other time, just lower your calories. I know it's hard finding time to work out when you have a baby but you don't need to do that if you're not up to it at the moment/can't find the time. As long as you're in a deficit calorie wise you'll do just fine

    Eat at a calorie deficit, that's all that's needed. No need for 'fit tea' (of course carry on drinking it if you like it!).

    What's 'fit tea'? I think I'll stick to my coffee :)

    I'm losing weight after my third baby at the moment. I lost it after my other two, so it's possible. The hardest for me is the tiredness, especially with two other children. There's no sleeping when baby sleeps when you have a 3 year old and a 5 year old and a husband who works shifts. If you're up from 5am, and don't get to bed until late, it's hard to not eat anything in the evening sometimes. Sometimes I'm so tired (3 hours broken sleep due to teething baby) I really fancy something sweet. However, my willpower (and vanity lol) is strong!

    I also work out a lot, and walk a lot, which helps.

    Make sure you weigh everything with a scale, don't just guess or use measuring cups. And that's *everything*, including vegetables, sauces, drinks (that aren't water), etc.

    Good luck! :D

    I can't understand most of your post but eat at a calorie deficit. Try to find the time to work out, even if it's a walk with the baby stroller. Don't fall for fad diets or teas. Take the time to lose the weight right and it will stay off. You're on a calorie counting website, try using it.

    Doesn't Gatorade have a lot of calories? They don't sell it in England (that I know of) but I always assumed it was a fizzy drink.

    And considering I drink coffee with just milk and it fits into my calorie allowance, then it doesn't make a scrap of difference to weight loss. I lost 66lbs after my 2nd baby, all my baby weight plus another 30lbs!

    I was at the gym after 6 weeks with all of mine, but I was lucky enough to have natural births and not need stitches.

    I don't mean to be rude, but is English not your first language? Although not sure that would explain the text speak.

    I expect it has more calories in it than a cup of coffee with milk.

    It took me just over a year to lose the baby weigh after my other two, but I think it might take a little longer this time. I found, especially after my 2nd, that I lost a lot faster once she turned a year old. Not sure if it's to do with hormones or something.

    I finally committed to weight loss and fitness after my second baby. I gained 50 lbs and after my 6 week check up, I started exercising regularly and calorie counting.

    Focus on calories in vs out for weight loss. Exercise for fitness. Both are great to incorporate but sometimes with a LO, exercise can be sporadic. I'd try to at least do dancing games when my littlest would sleep (my eldest thought it was funny). Make sure you're getting good sleep (well, as good as you can!) and don't try to pick an overly aggressive deficit. Log consistently and honestly. Even if you have days over. Baby steps :)

    Don't fall for diet schemes and fads. There's no such thing as spot reduction and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Remember slow weight loss wins over quick. And patience. The scale will fluctuate, you're looking for a downward trend over weeks, not days. Here's a great read

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

    Best of luck to you and congrats on your little one =)

    There is no magic tea. Eat at a caloric deficit and you'll lose.

    No harder than anyone else losing weight gained for any other reason. Pregnancy fat isn't special.

    How many babies have you had? :)

    It is harder as you still have pregnancy hormones in your body, and you're sleep deprived. My baby is 11 months nearly and still wakes in the night.

    I've found with my other two babies that the weight doesn't start to really fall off until they turn 1. No idea why, I don't change anything.
