I agree with everyone. Don't push it. There are ways of encouraging without commenting on the weightloss. If she's BFing encourage her to drink water (it helps keep the milk supply up and keeps her fuller longer) Tell her that once she's recovered you'd love to take a walk on a sunny day with her and the baby. Stuff like that encourages her health and weightloss without you coming across badly or making her feel bad. Good Luck!

I never do unless specifically asked. People generally hate being lectured to, even if you have the best intentions for them and don't mean it that way. A lot of folks don't really want the "right" answer.

Don't say anything...Maybe her 20 pound "loss" might motivate her to take real steps.

Agreed and you were not asked for advice. A friend celebrates victories, consoles losses and gives advice when asked or puts in her two cents worth during a discussion. Also, and this is not directed at you, but I have been given bad advice by a Dr. a nutritionist and a trainer. Many so called professionsals in the field have a very narrow perspective and a very narrow field of education or too broad to know anything definite and lastly they don't know me. Again not relevant to your situation but just saying. ;) |

Honestly, from what you've said it doesn't sound like she wants help or advice. If she did, she ask for it or hint around for it.
Personally, I never bring up food/exercise/weight unless I'm almost literally forced to do it. People have their own opinions, it's very emotional, and few (if any) people actually want to know what someone else is doing. At least, not if it's plain ol' diet and exercise. I wouldn't say anything about it. Just say, "Wow, that's great that you lost all that weight!" Because she did technically lose weight, and it's likely that really all she wants is a congrats for her loss. |
