Weight Loss advice? Lose my "pouch", lol.

Question

I had a c section September 2018. I gained 30 lbs during pregnancy and only lost half of it. I'm not asking for "a way out" to lose weight, I'm asking for some advice/tips that helped you lose it and it keep it off! I'm only looking to lose 10-15 lbs (my pouch per say!!) and yes, I know it takes time and dedication. I dont eat horrible, but pop is my weakness, more specifically mountain dew 🙃 and as a mom of 2, I'm always on my toes.  please no rude comments, everything is much appreciated!

Answer

Try to cut out the pop and Mountain Dew first.

Answer

I know Mtn Dew is probably your “crutch” when the days get rough, but cut it completely from your diet or switch to the diet version if you drink it constantly. The sugar content in sodas are insane, so switching to diet at the very least will help you lose some weight. (Seriously, my 36 year old uncle lost 30 pounds last year within 3 months just from cutting out Mtn Dew, he drank like 7-9 cans a day 😟)
Also try to eat healthier food options (like eggs, chicken, veggies, almonds, etc). It’s okay to still eat high sugar/carb foods like pasta, pizza, whatever else you may find enjoyment in that isn’t exactly healthy, as long as it’s limited (as in maybe a night or two a week, not everyday). Carbs are fine, but there’s a recommend amount of grams per day to have an ideal healthy diet. I recommend downloading the app My Fitness Pal. It’s free. You input your goal (your case, it would be weight loss, so you’d also input a goal weight), submit your current height and weight, and it breaks down for you how many carbs, sugars, etc you should/can consume daily. You can also type in what you’ve ate or scan the barcode to input your daily snacks/meals, so it will visually show you via a pie chart how many carbs, etc you’ve had for the day and if you’re under your limit/by how much or if you’re equal to/over it for the day. A “healthy” and/or “fit” body 70% diet, 30% exercise, so just be conscious about what you’re fueling your body with and you’ll see results!
Exercise in your free time. I know you’re a busy mama and probably can’t spare going to the gym daily, so workout at home. Walk around the neighborhood or a local park, jump rope in the backyard (great/fun cardio), crunches/sit ups in the mornings or before you lay down at night, planks, push ups, dips (you can use a dining room chair, just put it against a door knob so it doesn’t tip over), etc. If you YouTube “at home belly fat burner workouts” or anything similar to that, you’ll find plenty of videos to choose from. Find one you like and stick with it daily, then switch it up after a week or two with a new one. 
Good luck, you got this!!
