I had put on 13-14 kg during my pregnancy. As I had c section premature delivery( 6 weeks before). I started working out when my baby was 6 months old(as I was busy with my baby and I didnt feel like doing anything). I workout for 1 hour for 4-6 days a week (no rigrous workouts some running, crunches stretching and weight). I have lost 4 kgs in one and a half months and still have to lose 10 kgs. But I always feel tired and sometimes dizzy during whole day.I definitely have cut down on my diet but having balanced diet(compared to pregnancy diet). I dont have any blood pressure problem. I have started taking one multi vitamin and mineral tablet from last week.
Do you also feel the same? What special care do you take to avoid dizziness or tiredness after workouts.
It will be great If could also share what kind of workout shedule is the best to lose post pregnancy weight.
Thanks for sharing.

I was about 140 prior to pregnancy back, had my daughter in 1995. During my pregnancy I had severe toxemia “this is where you retain excess water at a rapid speed” I bloated to a whopping 214 lbs when I had my daughter. During which time I was told to avoid sodium, the doc said it is not the actual salt shaker, it is the hidden sodium found in prepacked foods. He told me go home and check labels in cabinets, canned, boxed, frozen foods.
I was amazed of how much sodium I was actually consuming and never knew it.
Because I was so used to low sodium that after having my daughter I couldn’t eat high sodium foods. My husband brought me home a Mc Donalds burger the day after I had my daughter, I took one bite and spit it out, it was soooo salty to me, even the fries were salty to me I couldn’t eat it at all.
I kept this low sodium diet and within about 3 to 4 months I went down to 119 lower than I was prior to my pregnancy.
As for the tiredness of working out, our bodies do not fully recover from pregnancy for a good solid year. You need to pace yourself out to where you do enough exercise but no over do it to the point it puts a strain on your system.
Also, mental has a lot to do with it, if you are stressed with worry about things, etc… this will contribute to the physical strain and you may not even be aware it’s there “the mental”.
Just pace yourself, and also the mistake ppl make is that they do fast paced exercise. I have dumbell weights here and a fanny lifter, my routine is slow moving, when I do pectflies I bring my arms out slowly so my muscle is being used and bring them back in slowly. The only thing that should be done in a faster pace is aerobics. Anything else should be done slowly, gently.
take rest at the time when your child want food then he will be give you time
