Jessica Simpson Is 'Determined' to Lose Baby Weight: Do You Think Losing Baby Weight Is Pretty Easy or Very Difficult?

Unless you're my oldest sister, she dropped all her weight within a month. It was crazy, she was a size 3 again.

It's difficult for many women because 1. Some women gain more weight than is necessary to support their unborn children.. 2. After birth, it takes some time for the mother to gain her strength and energy back, even without complications. Hormones and the stress of a new baby can also make it hard to schedule in physical activity. 3. It takes time for the uterus to shrink back down, for afterbirth fluids to be excreted, and for the pelvic and abdominal areas to regain their shape.
Tip: You can burn up to 20% more calories by pushing a stroller while you walk. It's a great way to spend time with your baby while getting yourself back into shape.

It's easier not to use pregnancy as an excuse to be lazy & to overeat in the first place. I gained less than 25 lbs. My shape sprang right back in a few weeks.

I imagine it's very difficult. Most women I know never look the same after having a baby.

Never had children, but I'll take people's word for it.

Jessica Simpson was said to have gained over 65 pounds...O.O Is that average when pregnant with a 9 lb baby, or did JS just give in to her "curves"?

it was for me anyway, took almost 2 years, now I'm pregnant again! lol :)

It depends on the person 100%

Don't really know, never had a baby

It was easy for me because I had PPD, and I don't eat when I'm depressed.

I don't know...

Unless you breastfeed, or something.

I have no idea to be honest!

I think it depends on the person and how determined the person is and not too lazy they are

I would think it must be difficult, unless of course you are paid a fortune by Jenny Craig, Nutri-System or Weight Watchers and have a personal trainer, nanny and state of the art gym.

Honestly, I think it depends on the person. Different people lose different amounts of weight. Some find baby weight difficult to lose- others, not so much.

most baby weight is the baby and the placenta if she gained less than 30 pounds and she breast feeds she will lose it pretty good i lost mine quickly.

As a general rule, yes, it can be very difficult. But, when you are wealthy, you get trainers and dieticians who make it happen very quickly and easily.

ididnt have any of that nursing your baby will help you lose weight naturally. i had 4 kids. and lost it every time.

I don't know if there is anything that works perfectly for everyone. Some people naturally lose the weight. A general rule is that breastfeeding is a natural way to do it, too. A good trick is to try and be in the best shape BEFORE pregnancy...and even during. I'm not talking body-building. But, making sure that you are active and do things, like walking and even low impact forms of aerobics. Combine that with a good, healthy diet throughout, at it makes "everything" much easier. Just a thought.

it would be hard

i realy have no idea

after my daughter was born i just knuckled down and ate healthy and worked out every single day. when my daughter was 5 months old i had someone ask how old she was and she was shocked! she said it didnt look like i had a baby 5 months ago. that made me feel great. its easy as long as you stick to it.

Metabolism, genetics, 'Luck'....It is often difficult. though, 'miracles' can happen. I have no doubt, she will succeed....but if anybody says 'it was easy'...we should all throw dog poop at them.

I haven't a clue who Jessica Simpson is. However she's got a lovely big pair of tits so why bother losing weight.

I wish her luck because this subject will be asked in a katrillon different ways on sodahead : )

depends how much they weighed before, how much they gained, how many kids they had before, if there were any complications and/or surgeries during that they need to recover from first, if they nurse or not, if they have enough maternity leave to get an exercise routine started before they have to return to work, and many, many, many other factors, but bottom line is this; for some people it will fall right off, others not, and you can never really know which way it's gonna be until you're there. Heck first baby weight never really left until after the second baby for me. I actually weigh less now then I did before my first pregnancy. o.0

It helps a lot if she nurses.

thats what did it for me. i didnt have no problem. and the trick is not to gain more weight than you need my doctor told me not to gain over 30 pounds and i lost it all because it was all baby and placenta and all that.

i bet she got a lot of money to have a liposuction or any operation to reduce her baby weights! xD

Liposuction just gets rid of problem areas but then shifts any weight to other areas that weren't problems prior.

thanks for the info..i dunno anything about liposuctions! ;)

Goes on easier than it comes off.

Losing weight is usually difficult.

Well I have never been pregnant...Which is good because I am still pretty young :/ I just would imagine that it would be very hard to get your old body back.

I've never had children, but I imagine that losing pregnancy weight is difficult for the average woman.

After a certain period of time, the average woman is expected to return to work, take care of her household, and now, also, care for a new child. I imagine high-stress, with little time left over for consistent exercise.

For a woman like Jessica Simpson, though, her image is very much connected with her work. I'm sure she'll have nannies and housekeepers, plus dieticians and personal trainers all focused on helping her take care of juggling her family and her weight-loss.

Something tells me it won't be for Jessica....she's along ways from her Dukes of Hazard days.

I agree. I think she is going to have a difficult time.

It can be extremely easy for some people, and others never lose it.
Breast feeding, no sleep, running around constantly, and no time to eat are a great diet!

Easy for Jessica Simpson that is, not for the average woman. She has a lot of money and no day job. Her job is to hire trainers and dieticians to be in shape.

Actually it depends on the person!
