I have tried a few fat loss pills. None really worked, would anyone know how to speed up the fat loss after having a baby? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

As they say, slow and steady wins the race! You have a bit to lose (I see you're listing in kilograms), and so it's going to take some time to do that--probably 9 months or more! So, keep that in mind as you consider your approach.

You can browse through many of the forums here--and also check out the home page, which has reviews and other information.

Good luck!

Quick weight loss is not healthy or long lasting. It is better to find a plan that you can stick to. Diet with exercise is the best way. Many of us find success with Weight Watchers, South Beach is popular, too. I find that calorie counting works best for me.

I agree with what JayEll and Bargoo said. Slow weight loss will stay off. I've lost many pounds fast many times and it was always the same pounds I also count calories (1300 to 1700 each day), but my best tip is to keep an eating journal. I write down every item that I eat, even if it's just a bite of an orange or small chocolate square and it's helped me see exactly where I need to make changes. Also, keep coming here for support. These people on 3fc are wonderful and helpful and their support has made me realize that permanent weight loss is possible for me. Best wishes to you!

To add one more voice to the chorus, I'd have to say there's no quick, easy way to lose weight (without either getting sick or gaining it back soon after). I would recommend calorie counting, personally. I've lost 60 pounds in the last 5 months eating somewhere close to 1500 calories per day.

I agree! losign weight fast will only bring it back faster! I had 3 diet attempts before and always gained it back plus more! each time i tried dieting I did atkins or south beach some version of a low carb diet and while it works for some it didn't work for me. I' m calorie counting! It's fabulous I 've lost 16 lbs in the past month and have had no cravings! I still get to eat the things I love just in more healthy portioned controlled versions! I really recommend it! I lost 7 lbs the first week on it! and my husband has lost 21 lbs in the past month doing it with me!

The great thing about calorie counting is it's not some "fad diet" it's a way of life- I know I can eat this way forever and not miss the foods I love because I still get them! combine calorie counting with exercise, at least 8 ounces of water a day and plenty of sleep you'll be on your way to successful lasting weight loss! Good luck chick!

Oh also if calorie counting is something you decide to try I recommend going to thedailyplate.com or livestrong.com or even sparkpeople.com these sites add all your calories for you so you don't have to do all the work it's great because I hate writing the calories down and manually adding them! and it keeps a log of the foods you've eaten kinda like a food journal so you can go back and reflect...

Just gonna echo what everyone else has already said.

There simply is no quick way to lose fat. You've already discovered that pills don't work. I'm pretty much thinking that if there WERE a way, we'd all know it by now.

One needs to create a calorie deficit and use our stored fat as energy in order to lose weight. And that takes time. It can't be done speedily.

The best way to lose weight is to find a healthy eating plan that one can stick to - and then STICK to it. Consistiency. Consistiency. Consistiency. T

Adding exercise, cardio and strength training, to the mix is a great help as well. Burn more calories, add some muscle and boost the metabolisim.

One "quick & easy" way to lose weight after having a baby is to breast feed (exclusively) - my best friend (and mother of three) calls it her "cardio on the couch"!!
Other than that it is plain old boring eating less and exercising more.

At the risk of being redundant - another vote for slow and steady. Calorie counting and daily moderate exercise is what worked best for me.

I tried many, many "diets" over the years, and never successfully lost and KEPT the weight off. Through changing my lifestyle - my way of eating - and adding in exercise I FINALLY learned the secret to success (for me anyway).

3FC is a great resource and you will find that there are many different roads to success here - the key is to find what works for YOU. Each of us is different. You already know what doesn't work - so take a look around and see if a plan "fits" for you.

I have had three babies in the past 10 years...and there is no way to lose it "quick" after a baby. It took 9 months to put on, it's not going to come off in 3 weeks!

Healthier changes to your lifestyle, regular exercise...slow and steady! My youngest is 2 years old now, and I am still not at goal weight yet, but I am down more than 35 pounds now, and I am starting to get my body back! It takes a while, but if you do it right, then it's for life.

( I have always Heard if u lose weight to quick there is a better chance of gaining it back~Depends on the individual I guess)
THIS IS WHAT IS HELPING ME:GOODLUCK
www.freedieting.com as a calorie counter i use the left hand side of this site but there is many things for every individual on the site)

The following information has helped me more than anyone could ever know~Some people are aware of it but I just learned this in NOVEMBER:
Principles
Weight management may be difficult to achieve, but it certainly is not difficult to understand. When you consume food or drink, you consume calories. Your body burns calories to function, burning significantly more calories when you exercise. If you consume more calories than you burn, you gain weight. If you consume fewer calories than you burn, you lose weight.
Because your body requires energy simply to stay alive, you burn calories even when you are not exercising. In fact, you burn calories directly in proportion to your body weight. On average, a male burns 11 calories per day per pound of body weight. The average female burns 10 calories per day per pound of body weight. These figures are just averages. Some people will be higher or lower, since everyone's metabolism is a little different. Fitness Record allows you to specify the value which is appropriate for you. If you don't know, it is suggested that you start by using the average value for your gender.
For example, if John weighs 150 pounds, he burns approximately 150 x 11 = 1,650 calories per day. If he exercises, he will burn additional calories on top of that, depending on the exercise activity. However, if he does not exercise, he must eat 1,650 calories per day, just to maintain his body weight. If he eats more, he will gain weight. If he eats less, he'll lose weight.
For the purpose of calculating expected weight gain/loss, one pound is 3,500 calories. Each time you consume an extra 3,500 calories more than you burn, you will gain a pound. For example, Jane weighs 130 pounds, never exercises, and eats exactly 1,400 calories every day. Her metabolism is burning 1,300 calories per day, so she are consuming an extra 100 calories each day. If she does this indefinitely, she will gain a pound in 35 days, since 35 * 100 = 3,500.
Fitness Record uses another term, called Behavioral Weight. The idea is that over the long term, your weight is determined by your behaviors, and is best illustrated by example. Consider Jane above, who eats 1,400 calories per day. After 35 days of this behavior, she will weigh 131, instead of 130. This means her metabolism will burn slightly more calories than before. If she continues to eat 1,400 calories every day, she will continue to gain weight, but at a slightly slower pace. Eventually, she will weigh 140, at which time her metabolism will be burning 1,400 calories every day. At this point, she will stop gaining weight, since she is consuming the same number of calories that she burns. Therefore, by eating 1,400 calories in a day, Jane is behaving like a 140 pound person. Her "behavioral weight" is 140.
Exercise contributes to your calories burned. If Jane were to exercise, burning an additional 100 calories each day, then her calories burned would be in balance with her calories consumed. She could eat 1,400 calories per day, exercise 100 calories per day, and continue to way 130 indefinitely.
You may now be asking, "Why can't I just eat low fat foods?" You can eat whatever you want. But, non-fat foods can still have calories. Check the food label to find out if eating the non-fat version of a food is really saving you any calories -- sometimes it's not. Many programs recommend moderating your dietary fat intake, and that is obviously good advice. Eating low-fat foods happens to be an excellent guideline for keeping your calorie intake low. In addition, moderating your dietary fat intake may contribute to your health in other ways. However, it will not alter the mathematics of weight management -- you still have to eat fewer calories than you burn if you want to lose weight.
The problem with the way the human body works is that calories counting is tedious and difficult. Most weight-loss programs, as well as the so-called "fad diets", focus on other guidelines which are simpler to follow than calorie counting. However, none of these guidelines alter the underlying principles of weight management
