Look up the eat clean diet... I'm 8 weeks post partum and only have 7 more pounds to go (and I gained almost 50). I can fit into my pre Preggo clothes now. I just eat clean and walk lots. I'm also getting a gym pass today actually to go do cardio and light weights now that I'm feeling better and have more energy. I didn't have a c section but I tore really badly.

Sit ups and walking. I'm only 3 weeks since my second caesarean so I've got 3 more weeks to wait before I can do sit ups this time bit it worked last time so hopefully it'll work this time as well. I also breastfeed which has almost got me back to my old size already. I started wearing my pre pregnancy clothes over a week ago. Good luck x

I got a binder that the hospital gave me after my c section. I wore it religiously for the first 4weeks. Worked wonderfully.

The only thing that worked for me to.get rid of my pouch was walking. I tried EVERYTHING toned evry other part of my body lost 60 lbs after my first and the only thing that got rid of my tummy was walking. I have a big hill by my house so i walked up it everyday and would walk for about an hour and a half. Ill.definitely be doing that again sooner after this baby.

No its an abdominal binder and I believe you can buy them at like babys r us or places where they sell baby items.  Its basically like a girdle I guess but helps tighten everything back up.  They sell them so where it can be used as belly support while ur pregnant and to suck everything in afterwards so I'm prolly gonna get mine soon!

Im 11w pp and although i don't look pregnant, i still have baby bump remnants its the unsightly overhang over my incision. I wasn't allowed to exercise for 12w but am gonna be starting the Insanity workout, its a 60 day workout you do 6 days a week. The videos are online, its meant to be great. I also walk between 3-6 miles daily with the pram, including uphill and i generally eat healthy. Its slowly coming off. I've lost 8 lbs so far, 2 stone to go (although not all of that is baby, its prepregnancy weight) x

I had a binder the hospital gave me and it was awesome. My bf put it on nice and tight and I helped pull everything back in.
