How do you get rid of baby fat without changing your entire life style?

When I had my first child I lost a LOT of weight by the time she was 1 and when she was 2 I was at my prepregnancy size, I did this with no exercise and not a drastic change in my diet. Now my son is 8 months old (3 years younger then my daughter) and I still have a LOT of weight to lose. My stomach more then anything, please help!!!|||You are going to have to make some changes in your life style to get rid of that extra weight, but there%26#039;s no reason to dive right into it by running 5 miles a day and doing a full 3-hour yoga/pilates/aerobic workout right off the bat. Start off small.





One of the biggest things you can do to help cut down on some of that fat is to simply cut back on how much you eat everyday. No need to go anorexic of course. . . but making your serving portions smaller and cutting down on how much high-calorie snacking you do between meals can go a long way toward helping to eliminate that fat.





If you couple this with exercising by %26quot;taking the scenic route%26quot;, you%26#039;ll start making habits that will slowly-but-surely eliminate that fat. By taking the scenic route, I mean that you go the long way, the more strenuous way, to get something done. Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. Walk to the grocery story if you are close enough. Even walking for a half hour more everyday will help a little. It%26#039;s always the little things that make the biggest differences.





If you can get into the habit of doing these things, step it up to a bit tougher exercises. Try doing aerobic type exercises for 20 to 30 minutes a day when you get a little time (I know that can be tough since you are a mom!). Biking is another good way to start exercising too since it isn%26#039;t as stress-filled as running or intense work out can be.





Good luck in your endeavor!|||Walking is probably the easiest workout to do with young kids and without having to go to a gym. Almost everyday since she was born, I have stuck my daughter in a stroller and walked for at least 20 minutes. It took me 2 years to get back to pre-pregnancy weight, BUT I didn%26#039;t change my diet. I am trying to that now just to be healthier and because I have other non-baby weight to lose. :)


It seems that the stomach fat is the hardest to get rid of too. I%26#039;ve heard doing Pilates can help some people. I just hold onto my daughter and do crunches The extra weight seems to help build the muscle faster and she gets a kick out of it.|||lol i need to know this also :) baby fat sucks :)|||I have 2 children too!! With my son, I gained a lot of weight and it took me 10 months to get even close to my normal size. With my daughter, I didn%26#039;t gain as much weight, and I am already back to pre pregnancy weight from before having my son! I had an emergency c-section with my son, and a scheduled c-section with my daughter. I have a lot of muscle damage, but the way I lost the weight from both kids was by swimming. I also breast fed both kids, which is medically proven to help you lose weight. I swam while I was pregnant with my daughter, it was a lot of fun for my son and I. He loves to swim with me, so it was a good work out for both of us. Swimming really will help you lose the weight, and tone back up. Good Luck!|||Crunches won%26#039;t help. You have to somehow burn more calories than you take in. You%26#039;d be surprised how many calories you eat just by taking a little nibble here and there.





There are a lot of diet plans out there, but most of the ones that work suggest that you stick to eating the same things you usually do, just cut the portions in half. Also try to eat six times a day, three regular meals and three snacks, and don%26#039;t snack in-between.





Aerobic exercise is also key. Try a brisk walk every morning.|||Crunches do help some...for the stomach area. But how do you get rid of those love handles? Thats my problem!|||You%26#039;ve got to do the crunches. There%26#039;s no other way.

What are the best self-help books for changing your life?

CRANK by Ellen Hopkins





its about a teenager in highschool who was quite normal but one summer when she got a hold of the drug Crank, her life was turned upside down.





i love the book. its short, interesting, in a poem style format, and it teaches us all a lesson that no matter who you are your life can instantly change from drugs.

How would changing your NAME change your LIFE?

what do u think hmmm?|||I think its more of a self thing. like security.


when some one changes their name its changing their identity which


is a stepping stool for confidence to change:D|||not much|||It would stop everyone from calling me iCarly|||Hmm...I don%26#039;t know. I like my name as is ^_^





OH MY SKULD IT%26#039;S NOODLE!!! Gorillaz=win.|||hahaha well people think they%26#039;re really cool and original for coming up with %26quot;uhh-man-DUH%26quot; so that would be a fun thing to live without.

Changing your life; Can you throw out everything you've believed and learned and start fresh? Can you become

who you need to be? Is it possible?|||You can%26#039;t throw away everything you%26#039;ve believed because you%26#039;ll always have a part of you that remembers the things you believed before. You have to learn and grow from the past, you can%26#039;t just drop it and begin again. You have to start from where you are and try to overcome the obstacles placed in front of you. There is not an easy way to do this. You can overcome and work towards change, but you can%26#039;t get rid of the past. The harder you try to, the harder it is to forget. Learn and Grow from it. You can%26#039;t ever throw out everything, because you%26#039;ll still remember the hardships in your life.





In order to change your life, you must try to overcome the adversity in your life. You must want to change, but only from learning from the mistakes you%26#039;ve made. You can%26#039;t ever start over, but you can keep going and seek guidance from God, friends, family, etc. It is possible, you just need a little bit of faith. Through God we can be perfected. (I%26#039;m Christian, sorry if that%26#039;s what you are running from)|||yes.|||it%26#039;s hard. u can always become watever u want 2 if u want it bad enough but u can%26#039;t ever forget wat u%26#039;ve learned cuz it%26#039;s a part of u. u can always try.

What was your biggest life changing experience ever?

Has your life been changed over a second? or a desicioun for ever?...have you had a moment when you could choose between your life and death?./..have you been so lucky to be alive now!!!?..if you had a life changing moment ..please share it.|||Mine was going to New Zealand. I originally came over on a 1 year working holiday visa then I met a man who later became my husband and father of my 4 month old daughter. I ended up moving here permanently. That decision to go to New Zealand in the first place changed my life forever.|||Life is worthless and cheap in the first place ... how important is any event within it? nothing ... life and all experience of life and within life is nothing more than some ****|||My biggest life changing experience was watching my father die unexpectedly. He had been ill for quite some time, but he had a period of slight recovery. When I arrived at his home, we had a conversation. I asked him a question. When I didn%26#039;t hear his response, I turned around, he had a fixed look on his face. I tried CPR to revive him. It didn%26#039;t work so I just closed his eyes, and told him it was OK to go on. My father and I had a very stressful relationship. He was an abusive and violent alcoholic, but when he was sober, he was gentle, loving and productive. When he drank, he was the opposite. I didn%26#039;t see him for almost 2 years at one time because of embarrassing me in front of friends and neighbors by violent, loud tirades. His death changed me in that I am now more tolerant of those with addiction problems. I do not easily run from hard conditions or from others who perhaps I could help or even love alittle bit more in life. Not every life is the same. My father%26#039;s situation changed me into a more tolerant and loving individual.|||The day my husband died. After being with this man since I was 16 I was alone. 35 years with the same best friend, lover.
