Lost the weight, but so squishy!

cs1007 · July 2012

Any advice on getting lean/toned? I lost all the baby weight fairly quickly, but my body feels so squishy everywhere. I am/was pretty active-I just started running again 3x a week and walk a couple days too. I guess my diet probably needs an overhaul...any advice on getting lean/toned?

BTW-I breastfeed, so nothing too hard core:)

the best way is weight training to tone your muscles and take up the extra skin from the weight loss

You'll have to strength train to regain your muscle tone.

Definitely weight training. And cleaner eating. It's really the only way, not that I always do such a great job at it!

I'm sure if you've made it to 11 months of BFing that upping your exercise won't be a problem. It never made a difference in my supply.

Weight Training for sure Exercise shouldn't effect your supply. Just increase calories as appropriate and drink enough water get enough sleep-make sure you get adequate protein
