Need to fit into pretty dress by August

[ImABeeMummy]

Okay so I have to go to a wedding in August.
Ive not even had the baby yet, but am due in a few weeks.
Ive heard you have to wait 6 weeks before trying a diet,
Id really love to get back into a decent shape before August.
Do you think its realistic?
Any stories of how you go your pre-pregnancy shape back would be great

I'm not sure if this is, or is not an option for you, but I've been told that breastfeeding helps you get back to prepregnancy weight faster. They say it burns around 500 calories a day by just breastfeeding.
I think running a few miles a day on the eliptical is wonderful, and it makes me shed the weight pretty fast. I'm average size, and have been starting to run and do weights for the past 2 weeks, and have lost 5 pounds.

Id looove to get back into my size 12 jeans without them being so tight, and then possibly try and get into a size 10..
I dont really mind how much I weigh as long as i look good and clothes fit lol
So healthy eating and just walking is all Il be doing to start with and see how it goes x

Yeah im sure your be where you want to be by august,i was at the start of my diet using august as my first goal of being a 12 but already there so its definatley a realistic goal and definatley achievable!
Good luck for in a few weeks with the birth hope it all goes well

Its fine to start healthy eating straight away but if your breasrfeeding dont think thats the case.
I didn't start. Exercise till after 6 wk.
How much roughly you need to loose be back to pre preg?
Anything do. Able in my eyes if yoy put the work in.
