Healthy Weights

It took your entire pregnancy to become the size and shape you are. It will take time to return to your pre‑pregnancy weight.

• Do not diet. Focus on healthy eating and being active to achieve a healthy weight.
• Gradually start being more physically active.
• Breastfeeding will help you lose weight. It is especially helpful along with healthy eating and regular activity, such as walking. Many women find that most weight loss happens in the second six months of breastfeeding.
