I have 8 children, and still have that extra 10 pounds hanging on. That is for my okay weight, I still have 20 to lose from just having babies in general. I do know that as you get older, it takes longer to lose weight. My advice is to eat a simple bowl of rolled oats in the morning, skip the sugar and add fruit instead, add cinnamon to help you burn fat (yes! it helps! warms you up and speeds up your metabolism). For protein you can eat cottage cheese or eggs. Make up a quick salad for lunch, add a slice of bread, a serving of meat, and a low calorie dressing (no more than 35 calories). For snack, have something that will fill you up... popcorn or something low calorie (fruit & veggies)... And eat a "normal" but portion controlled dinner... After eating like this all day, you can have the same thing you fix your family. Tips: 1)Brush your teeth after EVERY meal. 2) Don't eat ANYTHING after 7 p.m. 3) Keep a food diary of EVeRYTHING you eat. 4) Exercise... if you don't have time, try jumping jacks or jumping on the trampoline, or something for 1 minute at the top of every hour during the day (even running up and down the stairs)... set the timer for this. 5) Do strength training, push-ups, crunches, squats, baby bicep curls (lifting baby instead of weights), etc. Remember, if you want to get back to normal you have to MAKE time for exercise or you won't do it. Trust me, I know! And the key here is diet + exercise... You will see a gradual change of your body and your mind (changing to, "I don't need that! TOO many calories!!! That is not in my budget!") Hope this helps! I am in the same boat and am having to remind myself of these very things all over again (my daughter is 7 months now)...

I would start out with a breathing technique that as you breathe out you hold in your stomach muscles, 10 times each hour. Then work up to more reps... but like I said before, I am not a professional and you want to make sure you are completely recovered from having that baby!
