First of all, give yourself some time. Women should give themselves a
year to return to thier pre-pregnancy self!! As you know, the first
few months after having a baby include lots of time sitting and
breastfeeding. So although you are chasing after two other small
children, you probably aren't on the go as much as you used to be.
Once your little one starts moving around, that is a different story.
In the mean time, eat right (lots of fruits and veggies, whole grains
diet low in hydrogenated fats), take walks with the kids and remember
that breastfeeding is a 500 calorie per day "activity". (But I think
the weight loss benefits are seen after the first few months.) And if
anyone ever watches Oprah, her best advice is to stop eating a few
hours before you go to bed. This helped me to lose weight. Good luck
and it was so nice seeing you again!
