I didn't do ww after my twins but did it after my 3rd was born. I lost 17 lbs fairly quickly and it taught me alot about my eating habits.

Try to eat "clean" and if you can't do it all day try for breakfast and lunch. This has helped me lost another 5 lbs and get me to a lower weight than before my twins.

Buy a workout dvd or do youtube workouts. Put the babies on the floor or in the swing and just start. You will be surprised how much they will enjoy watching you.

Take lots of walks with them. You'll be exercising and you won't be eating!

Good luck! you will get there. Unfortunately althouugh I weigh less than before my twins and I am in MUCH better shape. The damage is done to my stomach. My skin is lose and will never be the same but I am proud of how my body looks otherwise! Besides surgery there is nothing I can do to change that.



Thanks for your response. You are probably right. They might enjoy watching me! I just feel so defeated! DH and I get home at 8pm and barely have time to eat dinner. The girls are so cranky and in pain from their teeth and just want constant attention. It's draining! Most nights they aren't down for the night til midnight and by then I can barely keep my eyes open. I'm going to try letting them watch me workout though. maybe it will be a distraction for them. Thanks so much!

I am in the same boat as you..sort of. My DS is 3 months old. My body is a disaster. My stomach is totally sagging. I'm trying to eat clean but I have a terrible sweet tooth and, like you, I have been eating out a lot. I set my alarm to get up and work out every day but I'm so damn tired it never happens.

I'm re-committing to the 21 day fix on Monday. I have a hard time with it because I find the tupperware things and the extent of meal planning to be annoying and time consuming. I've been doing Arbonne shakes, which are similar to shakeology, and Plexus Slim. I have noticed a curb in my cravings with the Plexus Slim.

Thanks for your response! I REALLY want to try the 21 day fix. Its so hard to commit when you know there will be days where you just can't workout at home. Right now I manage kickboxing 1-2 times a week and thats hard enough. I want to do SOMETHING at home though. I need to revamp my diet for sure but I also would like some sort of work out at least 3 days a week at home too.

I use the Isagenix products and they work REALLY REALLY well for me -
I lost close to 20 lbs the first 30 days on the program.
I never became a consultant, I just like the products.

People always tell you the obviouis, that you don't have to spend $$$$ just 'eat healthy" -
I"ll be honest with you - it seems expensive, but when I break it down and do the math, I'm paying less than $6/day to eat breakfast AND lunch - for ME, it's about the convenience of it all, and THAT is why I'm abel to stick with it.



I also lost about 25 lb on Isagenix and have since switched to GNC lean shake, because it is less expensive.
