I am not one of those girls who lose weight easily. I take against by carefree when I indulge in gluttony. This was the case during my pregnancy. Yes, I know, baby is healthy, that's the main, blah. Except that the months passed, and we authorize to look again at the navel. Or others do it for us and comment on our recovery. These last few pounds, they are very difficult to hunt. And without dieting, nothing will.
The problem is that talking or slimming regime today is, simplifying, go for the girl who does not take her curves and who can not enjoy life. The girl with menus rather boring tasteless, its ready trays and bottle of Contrex. Except that when one is not good about yourself, it's really worth leaving the frustration and lack of self-confidence move. When one is loved X kg, and they are 3, 6 or 8 pounds, it must also support girls in this fight.
The first 2 months: waiting
After delivery, you lose many pounds of course, but there are still a number on the scale. What is scary is to hear you say that you will recover your body before the end of September to December months. It's just super long! The 2ers months are very depressing with a soft belly, huge breasts (if breastfeeding), cellulite everywhere and the need to keep her pregnancy jeans (the worst). I personally taped to see celebrities super thin a few weeks after childbirth, but can not explaining this by a strict diet, intense exercise and a bunch of nannies to feed / change / calm baby when he needs it. And let the young mother go about her sport and rest.
Of course, my program is not that of a star. Juggling the care of the baby and work at home, I have not integrated the sport as slimming aid (apart from walking). Knowing that it is not recommended to do before perineal rehabilitation, which begins between 6-8 weeks after delivery (see tips trainer here ). The 10 physiotherapy sessions were very beneficial to me and Why to refine me, but side balance, nyet.
I must say that I was not particularly effort. A day with baby, it's exhausting and dinner, this is the ultimate prize. Consequence: scramble for fun products like bread and wine. This is bad, but it made me, the time of the property. However, every morning when I was going to have to decide how to dress, it was suffering. I wanted to say goodbye to pregnancy pants, leggings with deformed and shapeless, and not have my red belly and monstrously tight in my pants of yesteryear!
Early efforts quickly rewarded
There was the week of spa, which was the launching pad. A week to take care of yourself, get recommendations, and also the ongoing support during the day of his beloved in the custody of the baby. Much more than physically, morally, this week has had its beneficial effect. Without having to do a lot of effort, I managed to lose weight (-1.6 kg) and to stabilize me. See the report here .
The pounds of late, grief
I need me to face the facts: the closer you get to a healthy weight, those pounds are more difficult to lose. And it will leave if I start a diet and / or play sports.
PLAN
2 weeks after the spa, I set out to test the nutritional program Kitchendiet K1200 8-day that I found perfect for my situation.
- Caloric intake of 1,200 calories per day, based on fresh food cooked under the guidance of a chef and home delivered
- Monitoring pre and post program customized by a dietician on the phone
- The ability to choose the dishes from lunch (or dinner, your choice) from 16, but the breakfast, snack and dessert.
The euphoria of departure:
- When I get delivery, I open the box as a gift. No need to take the lead at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and drying to a salad or a salad!
- Very nice packaging and nice pictures of presentation: the dishes are like
- A small booklet is mailed with tips and reminder program (which hang, and when)
- The food is really good. I enjoy it! I almost never eat that dish of industrial, I find the taste very natural and well observed. A bit too salty, but really good and overall consistent. You should know that they are cooked artisanal scale by a caterer in a cooking mode close to homemade.
- No cravings. The dishes, with the small snack in the afternoon, wedged me really well.
The times when I pulled the tongue
- Cereals for breakfast. The portion is small, although recommended in all regimes of the world (30g), but especially the palate is not pleasant. Too light, not enough flavor and crunch.
- The lack of bowl: I fell flat on the least satisfying (Thai shrimp) on the day I was invited in my in-laws. Ravenous took me. I have not cracked, but it was very stressful
Stock after 8 days
- Weight loss over a week was not significant (-0.4 kg vs. 1kg Max with this type of program after 8d). But it should be noted that 1) I had "free time" at night 2) it was the week of my birthday so I allowed myself a few desserts in the evening, and a few glasses of wine / champagne. This may be sufficient to remind the body's bad habits. It must indeed time for the body triggers the mechanism to go draw on reserves. Otherwise I think I have lost twice.
- If we talk just habits, I think the big thing about this diet is to structure the day with 3 meals + 1 snack, have a better idea of the quantity and quality of ingredients that can be ingested. I see that my hand too heavy on grains in small quantities or bf on my plate. How could I lose weight before then?
- I realize that the loss of 3 kg residual will be made only on the duration. It is unrealistic to consider a plan over a week and basta. The ideal therefore for this program (and this is how people approach it) is to follow a minimum three weeks, with a dietician who can help us when we have planned for restaurants (what to choose on the map etc.. ) or dinners with friends. For my part, I tested this program on a week to give me an idea but could well resume in late summer.
- My stomach has never been so flat and the rest since the end of this regime.
- This program is ideal for young moms who are home and can take only their meals without being tempted by something else, and especially without having to cook! For those who have returned to work, the prepared dish can be eaten in the evening. Saving time in all cases.
Price: K1200 Program (8 days): € 146 (2 meals + 1 snack / day) + 9 € for shipping

SPORT
I searched and searched and searched for a gym that can integrate a daycare. Like the ones I've seen in Switzerland, Germany, Holland or in England recently. But in Paris, I'm still looking.
One possible solution? The gym stroller. A trainer accompanies a group of mothers with several of their baby in a stroller and go for a one hour session where we will do well work the abs-butt.
I recently did a test in the Bois de Boulogne, which you find below a small selection with some tips from personal trainer.
I still set to go 1:30 and 1:30 return buses (when there is no 20 min wait). Not to mention that baby was hungry 10 minutes after the start of the course, so mandatory stop for refueling ... in the rain! Both say that I came home exhausted from this course. Motivated, of course, to play sports, but in these stress conditions (traffic, crying baby, changing baby ...), I wonder if a coach at home when dad is back, is no more appropriate . Especially it is not necessarily more expensive (17 € the gym workout stroller vs. € 20 coach home after tax cuts).

You and the future / new mothers, what was your experience vis-à-vis the taking and weight loss?
Hi Chris,
What I find very annoying, it's a girlfriend or my mom who returned to their pre-pregnancy pants out of motherhood, I do not see how it's going to happen to me
))
For now, I'm happy but still reasonable, I try to make sure my weight gain to less than 15kg, but it's tough when you're hungry all the time and desire to eat.
I still have time for post pregnancy, so we'll see at that time, but I can already tell you that I would throw myself on a glass of wine (a Pécharmant great!) With great joy (why I decided to breastfeed, here!).
Good day, kisses!
I am like I am easily and before I lost very easily but also over the age advances, the harder it is to lose and when I think of pregnancy that really scares me ... especially since I am not "regime "...
When I think of my beautiful sister after 3 children who weigh less than the 16 years I want to say that life is unfair (although I'm happy for her
). She lost her pounds 2 months after pregnancy without dieting nothing, she lives in a house south of France and the fact of running the stairs all day but it's got to play good, genetics is to bcp I think! at least when I see her flat stomach like supermodel I can not believe that three babies have been there 
I take it that I forget my favorite goat cheese that I can devour a log in two days 
@ Montaw ah yes, these so annoying their girlfriends and flat stomach to the back of motherhood. I was so fed up of wearing the same high (pregnancy who were also breast) that sometimes I carried back my old clothes not even one month. Vision of horror with my big beads. Everyone told you that it's okay, it's true, but it was not easy going. I can still screw up the arrival of pants to get close to the ...
ah the pounds of pregnancy, Hard Drive: and the further along in pregnancy, they are more tenacious
first pregnancy, taking 20 kg, 23 lost, the top! second pregnancy took 18 kg, 18 lost! third and last pregnancy, took 18 kg, lost 16 ... yes I take bcp bcp every baby (and big bb) but overall I lose about right ... but the forms are still with me ... it's worse, c 'I was caught between first and second pregnancy and after the second 
and there, it's hard to lose! right now, I have an attack program (which I have spoken to my blog here: http://leboudoirdevesper.over-blog.com/article-minceur-episode-1-plan-d-attaque-74916262 . html) to date, I lost 2 pounds small, but the problem is that when I stress, I nibble + + + + and I doing everything in the air 
go, it is motivated! anyway, for me aerobics and wi-fit, it feels good and it shows the level results!
we motivate all>? I'm sure you do not have much to lose gd
PS: For my first pregnancy, I lost all my pounds in less than four months, but I breastfed all this time, which plays + + + (I breastfed for just under two following
Thank you for this article highly complete
I was expecting to lose lots of pounds to motherhood as I had said and I have finally lost the baby weight and a little water (about 5 pounds). I was furious, I was still in almost a decade to lose! Besides my son was born just before Christmas so there was no question of starting a diet immediately.
I also enraged that he had "nothing to wear" after childbirth, then I put the dresses, no desire to put my pants pregnancy, it is stuck more with my mindset.
And finally I was lucky because I have all fallen back quite quickly, it took me six months to get my weight before and I could put all my pre-pregnancy jeans after about 3 months. As I work from home, I eat light for lunch, often raw vegetables, white meat with vegetables, fish ... and I try to avoid desserts and sweet compulsive shopping! The advantage is that I'm not greedy at all, it helps. And then my grandmother had nine children, she remained very thin, I think the gene pool there for many, and indeed I am aware of my luck because it's not very fair!
Now that I found the line unless I deprive myself, instead I think I'm more happy than before my pregnancy I was obsessed with my line (now it makes me laugh, I tell myself that I ' was still very con).
Anyway you were always nice, not pregnant, pregnant and I'm sure you're even prettier with your forms of "mama" (I do have rounder hips even if I do the same weight that before ...)! If you still have only 3 pounds it will go very quickly, especially with summer coming.
I waited two years to lose the last 6 pounds "of my daughter." But what I need above all are the miracles exercises to lose my ribs on the hips. Buoys relief that I could do without!
@ Kleo: I think it is possible to lose, just by being active. But when one is also very tasty, it's not always that simple. And like you, I can not give up on the goat cheese!
Anyway congratulations for having found your line and opted for a healthy diet!
@ VesperL: I say congratulations because these 2 kgs residual at the end of the third baby, it seems minimal. Amazing how a poor snacking can undermine these efforts. I am trying a product right now against it, you hear about it soon
@ Annushka: super long time I spoke with a friend yesterday about habits at home. The breakfast is not so much a problem as there was no time for the day itself. For she who is mother of a little boy and an infant, his struggle is to resist the taste of packets of biscuits. Then the sausage + cheese as an appetizer with her man. I often have the munchies at the stroke of 18/19h and the courage to patiently wait 21h before going to dinner (as there is the bathroom, the last bib, the hug between). And in that hole, plunges full of bad habits
@ Isa: I want to tell you that sport will be your best ally. Now, it's annoying to go to gym, expensive and time consuming. But I know it was for me, before pregnancy, very effective to strengthen my. I thought for the holidays qq do morning exercises, such abdo glutes but I know in advance that I have not the courage! A friend has tested a coach at home and he is delighted, and was hooked!
Aaaaah the sausage / wine / cheese before dinner is my guilty pleasure also
I think finally we have the same vices!
By cons I can resist the packet of biscuits, but it's true that it's hard. I am therefore a slightly sweet tea or strong coffee to cheer me up and I eat fruit waiting patiently for dinner. Against by my little piece to bed at approximately 7:30 p.m., 20H at the latest so I can eat pretty soon ...
But you are right with such a pace that's hard to keep good habits!
if you have a cure as snacking due to stress, I'm all ears
in addition, I stopped the discharge printing of nails, so, I make up LOL this is very stupid to gun down any 
@ Annushka: it's great the coup of tea or coffee. But in this heat, I'm less tempted. And fresh fruit juice but too sweet, niet!
@ Vesper L. : Stress-related snacking, I'm not sure to have the cure. Perhaps a sport or fun / relaxing (sing, sophro ...) might do good. Or listen to music with a good tea
Finally, a job fair, true and real about this problem that faces all women. I also tried a gym in Paris. Without success. So I opted again for the CD of Cindy Crawford for post-childbirth. But hey, you have to stay motivated
And the idea is great dishes. BRAVO for this position and for the wisdom of your words
http://weightlossplans.ru/cindy-crawford-workout-after-birth/
I took 16 pounds during my pregnancy, I lost 5 to motherhood, and 6 to 1.5 months in the house, just taking up good habits (pregnancy was for me the best excuse to gorge myself) .
So I still have 5 more to lose, but I let myself down in September to look into it, for now I prefer other key issues such as the organization with baby, rest (when possible), make turn home and remotely manage my company ...
I think once a true pace of work found it's easier (no temptations fridge full afternoon), and maybe I'll go to the pool between noon and 2?
@ Smadar: you are very courageous to follow Cindy. The problem at home is that I always another mile and things to do, when it's not work. I do not think I would be disciplined if a dvd or a course on xbox. You get it?
@ LaFilleduRock: it is certain that the resumption of work promotes weight loss, because we are less tempted by snacks and breakfast break can be exploited to the gym. We can not be aps on all fronts anyway!
No, but I am very strong to give advice to others.
I did come to my son, I was very motivated at the time. For my daughter - the solution was simple: after 10 months of breastfeeding, the mouth is closed and taken up the sport (biking everywhere in Paris) in 1 month, 5 pounds are gone. And I too have a hard time losing weight but I take easily. Then after coming in during the fitness club, obnoxious but effective. There are no miracle solutions, poor women that we are
I personally taped to see celebrities super thin a few weeks after childbirth, but can not explaining this by a strict diet, intense exercise and a bunch of nannies to feed / change / calm baby when he needs it.
=> No no no, it does exist, and I'm not a celebrity; o)
In fact very thin at the base, but I was athletic, so pretty good. But pregnancy, baby monitor and wear all the time, I lost the pounds, and any back pain! Second baby, the same. Result I am just beginning, while the first 4 years and find my 50 kilos. But it's looong, I work like crazy and I do not have time to play sports so I stay skinny all! And yet I eat fatty and sugary stuff!
So: should not necessarily make for follasses thin, sometimes it's not their fault and it is not better than having the extra pounds in fact!
(Thanks for your blog, it really is a super quality)
@ Smadar: go, since few new scheme. I managed to stabilize my weight Kitchendiet post or to continue losing qq hundred grams. It's really not bad, considering the fact that I had we just watered (but no abuse). There's no secret that the sport is the key!
If indeed around me, most girls are able to physically recover well from pregnancy, not all have that chance, that motivation and morale also go on a diet. Now, you're right, do not accablons thin!
@ Rustimous: I want to believe in fact that all these stars have the perfect body at the base, and a healthy lifestyle to maintain impeccable. It's part of their job as
Hello
I just wanted to respond because for me (2 babies in 2 years including the last two months ago) things were very different .... I am a normal girl. I have not made arrangements during and after my pregnancy, I have neither coach nor as a nanny and all the mums I am overwhelmed between bottles, diapers, machines, shopping, home, 2 children etc. ... so you say I was not able to make one gram of sport nor much poupr me since my birth. But I lost all the weight gained during pregnancy, ie 8/9 kilos (two times), without faire.non I have not a particular constitution, just I have not gained weight for my pregnancies outside of pounds of baby and those automatically entered into with the storage mechanisms.
is the explanation ... and I think there are many girls in my case. I'm a bit fed up that insinuates (around me) I'm a control freak who started doing sit-ups to motherhood!
That said, I recognize without difficulty that I am very happy not to have taken a lot of weight and not having to deal with this after my probl'matique accouchemetn!
Good luck to all
@ Vv: it's not cool because these hasty judgments (a bit jealous, right?) After delivery of a silhouette quickly recovered. Just as it is difficult to reason a pregnant woman about her weight gain. It's so complex ... without control freak, but it must remain in control at least, because we pay our post delivery kilos of gluttony
Well I am in the seventh month and there might as well say that thou hast well depressed lol
I took 8 kg I still have 2 ½ months before delivery, I hope not exceed 11 kg because I understood that it was a pain to lose them ...
To be continued ...
what a joy to read you, it feels good!
got 20 kg (well've stopped weighing myself at one week of the term) and frankly with the big (big belly trees) the rondeures going well, it was smooth, I'm not too aware, and I said: "You all reperdras not worry! "
after delivery: 15 pounds to go! and that's exactly it! dinner, etc.
ca has been 5 months and it is not won
anyway thank you!
@ Ophelia: thank you for your testimony! And what do you want with this cold it is, you do not feel like leaving home and eat a salad! Go courage and always fun
Although metabolism plays. For my first I took 13 kg quickly gone, about 2 months. For the second, who have to show up in the coming days I am 18 kg. I dread the after. With regard to pay attention during pregnancy, easy to say, when the mere idea of having an empty stomach and nausea gives up the heart. Morally pregnancy c sometimes hard, physically as well, so I hated the lesson givers who want us to believe that it's easy. And to lose, like ben c, they are always donors lesson, I think it's all in your head, not the will, but morale and circumstances that are unique to each.
