If you're a new mom, you're probably still carrying around extra "baby weight." Since you're constantly having to juggle everything, the last thing you need is more work and more stress, which is what many diet plans feel like.

Drawing from her own personal experiences, Anita Weil Bell designed this uncomplicated, easy-to-follow, three-month program with these challenges in mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very user-friendly: practical and simple advice, August 12, 2005

The best thing about this book is that it's written by a lady who is a mum - and who had a tough time shedding those last few pounds. I find this very re-assuring as the author speaks from real-life experience. The meal plans are easy and simple and the exercises recommended don't require you to leave your baby anywhere - you can do the exercises with your baby. Basically an all-round great book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Read, Easy to Follow, September 17, 2006

This review is from: Get Your Body Back: Lose Weight, Gain Energy, and Get Fit After Having Your Baby (Paperback)

I just purchased this book a week ago and read it cover to cover in just a few days. The best part about this book is that the author relates to mothers throughout the entire book, and understands that not all moms can stay at home or afford to go to the gym everyday. I feel like it was written just for me! I work full-time outside the home and have a 20-month old son, but I think I can easily follow the meal plans and exercises in this book, it just takes a little planning. All of the meal plans include recipes, which take minimal preparation and cooking...and they seem like meals I would actually enjoy eating! I think my husband will actually approve of most of these recipes, as well. I felt very motivated after finishing this book and it made me realize that I am just like every other mom out there who is struggling to lose that baby weight.

This review is from: Get Your Body Back: Lose Weight, Gain Energy, and Get Fit After Having Your Baby (Paperback)

It has great information, but not what I was looking for. I was actually very dissapointed. I was not looking for nutritional information. I was looking for how to lose weight (ie. samples for diets).
