post baby body

ok. i just had a baby about 2 months ago. i've already lost all the weight i had gained. (58 lbs!) but now im having a hard time geting my stomache back n shape again. i've been doing yoga and its helped over all. my whole body is pretty much back to normal except my somache. i mean its flat and everything just not tight like it was before. is there anything i can do to get it back? one more thing.. some one told me running will help, i had never heard this, is it true??

I'm an army guy, and am very impressed with what you've accomplished so far.  It is very hard to get the stomach tight because (a) a baby puts your stomach through A LOT, and you likely weren't able to keep the muscles toned during your pregnancy.  Running does go a long way to tightening the stomach, because you are using those muscles as you run.  Running, combined w/ a good crunch routine and the use of an exercise ball while doing stomach exercises will get you there I bet.  Again, very impressed w/ your dedication, and congrats to you!

well i didnt just do yoga.. i also did this exercise program called "SLIM IN 6".. and followed the "Special K" diet. i also had a list of NO's. like: no bread, pasta, sugar, salt, dairy (besides low fat for the cereal) no red meat and pretty much anything with a lot of carbs.
