    Nine Ways to Lose the Baby Weight

    Nine months up, nine months down. That may be the adage we follow to remind ourselves why we are still wearing our maternity pants several months after a baby's birth, but there are plenty of methods for losing those pounds faster. Sixty-five percent of lilsugar readers said they lost the weight by baby's first birthday. Some studies show that women who aren't well on the road to dropping pounds within six months of childbirth will have a tougher time the further out they are. Most doctors will clear a woman for exercise in the month or two after their delivery. Take a look at some of the methods that are most effective for mamas.

    What's interesting about listing breastfeeding as a way to lose weight after having a baby is that I actually heard some of my friends who were breastfeeding complain that they were always so hungry from it and ended up eating more in the middle of the night when they got up to feed their babies.

    i struggled after my 3rd daughter to lose the weight. it took 8 months to get down to where i had 10 pounds to go. but i never have been able to lose that last 10. plus, my body is a different shape, things are in different places than pre-kids.
