i'm 23, 5'5,160lbs, how to tighten a post pregnancy pouch and lose 25lbs quickly?  im scared that just losing weight will cause loose skin..

Accepted Answer

Breastfeeding to use: Use breastfeeding to burn up stored calories. One can get her pre-pregnancy weight back, and work out with weights to get in great shape again, but cannot truly get her "pre-pregnancy" body back. That is because a pre-pregnancy body is a different stage in a woman's life than a post-pregnancy body. Also, one's age is older, and some NORMAL permanent changes have occurred after a having a baby.
