The BIGGEST thing to remember here is that it took you 9 months to gain the weight and it may take you that long to lose it, although that depends on your body type, nutrition and exercise.
I gained about 25 lbs with my son, and I lost most of it within weeks but I had a lingering 4 lbs or so that took up to 3 or 4 months to get rid of.
DO NOT exercise before you are 6 weeks or before you have the go-ahead from your doctor! But some small exercises are encouraged right away, such as crunches, if you had a problem-free delivery. Always talk to your doctor about when you can start and what types you can do.
Remember Breastfeeding can shrink you back to your pre- pregnancy weight because it causes more (after pains) cramping which shrinks your uterus more quickly.
