Hi D., me too Girlfriend. When I cut back on my carbs, sooo hard, I lost weight. And Yoga is great for toning and relaxation. Give yourself some time, I know it's hard because summer is right around the corner, but think of what your body has gone through. My daughter is 18 mths old and I'm just rejoining a gym that I used to go to 5 days a week before I was prego. You'll lose some more with the nicer weather here. Try the carb. thing though, you'll be amazed of how much weight carbs put on your body. Good luck to both of us. : )

Im in the same boat! are you in claremont? maybe we can team up.

www.vitalityforlife.com is a great tool to use to monitor your diet, and determine the most effective meal plan that will maximize your health. It's like weightwatchers.com on steroids. :-) I've used both. Plus, it's only $6/month if you are a member.

Hey! id try going out at nights or possibly early morning runs or walks. im 24 with a 5 year old daughter, and im not trying to work off the baby weight im toning that baby pouch that just comes back every winter! lol.. bt i also noticed that after working all day comming home and doing the "night routines" of studies, dinner, bath and bed.. that the only time i have for myself is at night. bt of course me being lazy and tired i prefer to run in the morning. so long story short.. im now getting up in the am an hour early to go jogging before the day starts. oh! and see if you have any friends that want to loose the weight too~ its easier to work out with someone with ya. if your in boston~ hit me up! ill tone with ya!

D.,
My advice to you is to double check w/your OB/GYN on your diet. One of the most popular items your doctor will suggest to you is salad. The other is fiber intake. Some OB/GYNs suggest that patients continue to take their prenatal vitamins up to a year after the child's birth; so don't be surprised if your OB/GYN makes this suggestion to you. Walking is a great way to trim down, along w/salad, but your doctor is always the best person to start w/.
