    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!

    Its a energy drink
    How long it toke u to lost the baby weight

    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

    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.

    Actually, the roller coaster of post-pregnancy hormone fluctuations (which can take anywhere from several months to a year to level off) compounded with additional stress and lack of consistent adequate rest does contribute significantly to difficulty with weight loss after baby.
