How to Lose the Baby Weight FAST! My Progress at 3 Weeks Postpartum with Baby #4!

I've been going back and forth on whether or not to share pics of my post baby body at almost 3 weeks postpartum. The message that I want to send is that by staying active, eating healthy and just living a healthy lifestyle while you're pregnant, can make it much easier to get back to your pre baby body afterwards. This was my GO-TO program during my pregnancy this time around, just in case you're curious!


While I'm not close to where I hope to be in a few months, muscle-wise, I can say that I am feeling great and have gained the confidence throughout this journey, to rock a bikini already...whether I'm at my goal weight and size or not! And this is just MY own personal journey and story and by no means am I saying that everyone should be able to bounce right back after a baby...because everyone is unique and has their own personal time frames that are best for them to get back in shape after giving birth! I'm still pretty sore from my c-section and just the thought of a sit-up at this time, is painful! But this is where continued clean eating and breastfeeding can work wonders!

I just want to motivate and inspire those of you who think that it's impossible to get back in shape or get in even better shape than you may have been in, pre baby! It takes self-discipline, motivation, commitment, support and hard-work...but it's so worth it in the long run!!

Super Easy Way for Breastfeeding Moms to make Money!

So if you're a new mom, whether it's your first child or not, chances are you signed up for at least one website to track your little one's growth while they were snuggled up in your belly for those 9 long months.  I know I probably signed up on at least 3 different pregnancy sites to see whether my baby was the size of a lemon or a squash and to get the low down on what he was up to in there.

Now that your baby is here, those of you who have chosen to exclusively breastfeed, probably aren't too worried about formulas yet.  I am fortunate enough to be able to stay at home with my 5-month-old and have not yet had to use formula, myself.  With that being said, you are probably receiving numerous coupons in the mail for discounts on Similac, Gerber Good Start and Enfamil baby formulas.  Which again, if you are exclusively breastfeeding, these are probably of no use to you, so why not make a little extra cash off them and help out someone who could get good use out of them and save a few dollars.  It's a win-win situation!

Sometimes, I get as much as $20 or even $35 worth of coupons in the mail at a time and will post them on ebay with the "buy it now" option offering them for $15 or $25 dollars and within minutes, they are bought.  It doesn't cost you anything to ship them if you have envelopes and stamps on hand.  As a stay-at-home mom, I love making any extra cash that I can to spend on my cute little boys.  So, don't let those coupons sit around and expire...stick them on ebay and make a few extra dollars for yourself and help someone out there who will be able to use them for their baby.
