  • i breast fed my son for 2 months only... but the weight does fall right off... but once i stopped..... OH BOY. lol. i started gaining my weight back. it's like i all of a sudden got the urge to eat everything. lol. im not disappointed with my size now, but like you said, i want the body that i want. (so since it's too late to breast feed, i'll be hitting the gym). lol

  • I shed 40lbs of my baby weight from walking. Cheers to all hot moms

  • That was good to know i'm on 8 1/2 weeks I started walking today. I have already changed my eating habbits because I find that the baby doesn't like sugar or red meat so I don't eat much of it. My baby likes veggies and fruit as well as water, juice, and milk so thats what I have been eating and drinking. I have to watch what I do right now because I started to bleed a few days ago and my doc told me to take it easy for a few days. When I feel better I'm gonna go back to getting ready for baby.

  • I enjoyed this video so much! You have such great energy and you're so funny! haha! :)

  • lol

    

  • i felt in love with you girl)))) realy you are amaizing ))) kisses from Moscow Russia

  • I love your energy! And what a precious baby girl And I know the feeling that your newborn is like a ticking time bomb, too... :D

  • if i use the pump will i still loose the weight, im almost 5months and my boobs were already DD so now ugh i dnt kno what they are now but they are huge but will they get lost 2 because the strain on my back is killing me!!!! and do u think it is normal to not gain any weight i actually lost 3 pound and im still under my pregnancy weight

  • right on point. I can attest to your video.

  • ter my baby and though I was nursing (lost 25lbs in less than 2 weeks) and thought I ate healthy and worked out a lot post pregnancy...sometimes ish happens! I eat good now and workout and can't lose a lb!but its important to love ur new body also and when the time comes id do it all over again!

  • My only objection is that sometimes when ur pregnant the morning sickness can cause u to eat foods u don't normally eat. I was very dehydrated during my pregnancy as well as suffered from terrible sickness all day well into my 2nd trimester. The only food I could keep down was milkshakes and ensure. And that's all I ate. Like a liquid diet! Lol I was so sick I shoulda been loosing weight but I gained 13 lbs in a month! I went from being a size 8-thick thighs and a 6 pack-to a size 12 3 months af

  • your baby is adorable..i was just searching youtube and i love your spirit and energy new subbie :)

  • Is that the one the doctor gave you?

  • I dont know if you did this, as soon as you have your baby, and they put u in a room, put the tighest girdle you have, im telling u your stomach will be flat in a few days, it works best on slim girls ..i did it and im totally flat like b4 i even had my child, people saw me 3 days after my delivery and i did not look like i even had a child. put the girdle on 24hr 7 .... eat veggies thats it will drop the weight off

  • @Lynnelovesyou123 ... dont use the hospital bind... get body shaper smaller then your size!

  • She is a pretty baby! Love your videos!

  • your baby is so adorable

  • She's Beautiful!!!!!!!!!! Be blessed!!!! LOL :-)

  • I totally agree with you especially with the breastfeeding. I had my baby on 07/06 and am currently 3 weeks post minus 2 days and I have already lost 30 lbs. I have 4 more lbs to be pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm definitely trying to lose more. It definitely feels great to be losing all this weight and sometimes I even catch my husband looking at me. I also get compliments from friends which is also great because I havent a compliment in years. So its definitely a motivation/self-esteem booster.

  • WOW!! That is soooo motivating!! I'm so scared to have a child but u are making me feel a little more comfortable with the thought of it. And not just the weight aspect of it. The fact that u are handling two little girls, a hubby, moving into a house, loosing weight and taking care of EVERYTHING!! U girl momma!! I hope and pray that I'm able to do the same thing!!

  • Good tips, AAWWEE Look at how bigs she already is! too cute!!

  • You are doing sooo good with your weight loss journey!! Kiyah looks just like her dad and Yanna looks like you!!

  • PS... you look Frosted Flakes ggggggggrrrrrrrrrreat!

  • *LOVED* this video! Gonna definitely save it so that I can refer back to it when I finally have a kid.

  • Looking lovely

  • She is too cute! Truth about eating for two. You are not eating for two of you, but you will have to work it off!

  • did u have a c section?

  • Your little angel is sooooo gorgeous!!

  • ur looking good!!! i have a question, did u get a lot of stretch marks? I know ppl who have had babies and were able to get their stomach to look perfect and others have a very wrinkly stomach. What happened with you? (Btw ive never had a baby yet, just something i kinda worry about)

  • I am so glad you made this video. I don't have any chldren yet but I was taught by my mom that it was the best way to go for mommy and baby. I'm new to your channel and I love your honesty and the fact that you are budget concious. Your daughter's are beautiful. Be blessed.

  • She is "Beautiful!!!!!!!"

  • doesnt breast feeding makes your boobs get saggy?

  • @Newleaf2012 incorrect

  • Thanks for this video! I'm 22 wks pregnant & gained 20lbs the 1st 6 weeks. Prior to pregnancy I'd just lost 30 lbs; the baby was a surprise. This is my 1st baby & I find that I've become extremely finicky. I'm usually a flexitarian/nutritarian, meaning I alternate between meat & meatless meals and mostly consume leafy greens, fruits, veggies, beans, & nuts. But this baby don't want nothing but meat, potatoes & rice! Can't eat veggies w/o gagging now, so I juice or make smoothies to get them in.

  • I just had my baby 3 almost 4 month ago and I am breastfeeding also. I now have an addiction to Honey Buns. You inspire me to work out and watch what I eat. I vow to buy more fruits and veggies and eat things like yogurts. Thanks. I have to keep my body looking good.

  • So I am no where near having kids, but, hey...you gotta be prepared! LOVED the tips! And you are HIGH-LARIOUS!!! "The baby don't want half on that steak...you foolin' no one!!!" LOL! You must be West Indian or African! I'm with you on the washboard abs! Keep up the great work, mama!!! #TeamSixPack

  • Are you just breastfeeding exclusively, or are you using the bottle also?

  • My family is from St Thomas and my mother told me when they have babies the family goes to the hospital and wraps the mothers abdomen. She told me to do it with my 1st but I didn't. I just worked out hardcore twice a day. With this baby I will be using a abdominal binder.

  • This video helped me even more to keep my goal to breastfeed and to not literally eat for two. My doctor said I am doing well. I have gained 14 lbs so far and I am 31 weeks pregnant. Thanks for making this video and all your other inspirational videos :) Good luck on the continuation of your weight loss journey!!

  • Do you have to ask for the binder at the hospital or do they automatically give it to you??

  • Breast-feeding did nothing for my weight. I wish!! I am determined tho to still lose this pregnancy weight!

  • I actually wear one of those when i work out it makes you sweat alot alot alot i bought mine from walmart

  • You always make me smile when i watch your video's :) Girl you look damn good! If Kaya cries and i sounds like she is si ging thats because she in THE best place ever lalala :)

  • I TOTALLY agree! I'm also breastfeeding my son and I lost 38 pounds in the first two weeks!!! I'm planning on nursing him until his first birthday...

  • OK - I just want to say that I'm also a huge nursing advocate BUT it is not a miracle weightloss cure. My body (same as mother) holds onto a few pounds until I'm finished nursing. If I try to severely ramp up the exercise or cut wayyy back on the calories, it decreases my milk production. I'm I have a 3 year-old, a 6 month old and about 15 lbs I'd like to lose BUT - I can still rock out 40 push-ups in a row (real ones!). Pre-pregnancy I was built like Jada - I WILL get back! ;)

  • breast feeding is the bomb! with my first pregnancy i gain 5 pounds, the second, 3 and the last i lost 10 pounds. no i did not starve my self. lol!

  • it great to see a happy new mother. your good diet contributes to a good attitude during and after pregnancy for both you and baby

  • I need to have me a baby then.... LOL

  • 22 pounds in 3 weeks???????

  • yes You are completly correct i breast fed my baby gril for about 3 1/2 months i stopped only because it got really hard when i started back working but i tell all friends all the time to BREAST FEED!!!

  • Thank you for saying that!! I haven't had any children yet but I've always thought that was bs when people say they are eating for two!! A baby doesn't even eat as much as an adult let alone as much as a child so you really should't be eating two adult size portions just because you are pregnant!! Great vid, for sure going to use your tips when my time comes around!!

  • Congratulations again on your new bundle of joy! She is soooo beautiful! Also, congrats on the weight loss!I am the same way with the meat. Don't take away my meat, or we gonna have a problem. LOL BE BLESSED! STAY BLESSED! CONTINUE TO BE A BLESSING! LOVE YOU SIS! ♥

  • The binder comes from west african and South African cultures, they have been doing that for thousands of years.

  • You are so right.... when a woman is pregnant she is not eating for two... she is eating at two... in other words she is supposed to share not double the amount. You look good and there's nothing wrong with having the body that you want. ohh and your baby is too cute!!! Take care andd God bless!

  • hello sweet heart!! You look as lovely as usual!! Do tell me, do you have stuff for stretch marks as well??

    Bisou

  • agreed eating for two should make the mother aware of what your eating is affecting another life your unborn, being aware of what food your putting in your system not to eat twice a much. however you can eat twice as healthy

  • @akaziaj... you are right! Some women sooooo desperately want to breast feed, and just can't for whatever reason. They should feel less than a mother if they can't, but they do, and that's super sad! I feel like sometimes, like you, Black women often don't realize how beneficial breast feeding is to both baby and mother. BG was completely correct in her video. 8*)

  • You are way too gorgeous, i love you ! Breasfeading my bb girl was the best thing i did, & yes it helped me loose weight very fast... Muaaahzz from France 2 the whole family

  • My baby is 5 months old now and I'm still breastfeeding her. It didn't go so well with my son back then because I wasn't producing enough as well. I was already big before I got pregnant. Yes, in the beginning the weight came off fast now I find myself having to work harder. Now, I have a long way to go but I really kept my weight under controI and I was losing weight. Then I only gained between 2-5 lbs. I'm really working on the weight I had before I was pregnant. You look great!

  • But BG, I'm not breast feeding!! :) you have an unfair advantage in the challenge! That's coo' though, I'm still in. I just have to work harder. Mmhmm, it's coo'.

  • Great!

  • Yay for breastfeeding! I breastfed my daughter past her first year and I am a super advocate for breastfeeding. I wore a belly wrap too so I definitely think you're on the right track. Pregnancy and post pregnancy truly show you the awesomeness of the female body. I gained a little over 30lbs and my daughter was 8lbs 8ozs, went from a B cup to a DD cup so I saw a big change. Good luck on your weight loss and have fun!

  • @InquisitivelyMe I love my new boobs. I pray I get to keep them like you. ;0)

  • Such a pretty baby!

  • You look FABULOUS! ;)

  • Girl you look good! Im 34 weeks and Im hoping I look good like that after my baby!!!!

  • You go girl!

  • Great info...girl one word..."decaf"...lol- kidding love your energy and you are lookin smokin mama!

  • lol...@ hubbys response

  • Did you get stretch marks?? just wondering?

  • ooo girl, but you convicted me!!! lol!!! I love burgers and I love meat and sweets...its funny cause I tried to eat fruits and it would end up in the toliet but anything greasy, I could keep it down. after my morning sickness subsides tho Im going to make it a point to eat fruits and what not. Im not eating alot, but i know I want to eat healthier...Thanks again for the info

  • ooo...thanks BG! my little one will be here Feb 2012...so glad Im getting all this info <3

  • Everything you do and say is soo beautiful. Watching your videos makes me smile and helps me to look forward to positive things happening in my life.

  • Your baby looks beautiful!!!!! You are doing a great job!

  • I know that's right.... I gotta get my tummy down. My lil girl is almost 3 and I'm stuck at 174.... smh @myself. I have been fooling myself, saying well I did just have a baby..... anywhoo you are doing your thang girl keep it up

  • I remember those days! LOL. When I was pregnant w/my oldest son, I gained 60lbs; gained 50lbs w/2nd son, & my daughter, I gained only 30lbs. Due to the fact that I was underweight for so long, I gained weight fast. I ate right, never "ate for 2." I never breast fed but that binder did come in handy. Now I'm 40, ppl envy my size b/c I'm still small to them that is. LOL. I'm a firm believer in eating right, & taking care of urself is the best key.

  • Meat/fat are not the enemy!!! Grains are. Paleo 4 life!! :)

  • thumbs up for breastfeeding. I've been breastfeeding for 6 weeks and I've already lost 38lbs without exercising. I got up to 210lbs and now I weigh 172lbs, which is less than before I got pregnant. Only 22lbs to go.....YIPPIE!

  • What are you doing about stretch marks?

  • I didnt do the wrapping thing but i breastfed and it sure did help! I remember when i first breasfed, my stomach was killing me! Thats how i know it was working :D

    Your girls look so beautiful, dont be jealous lol, Just kidding right,peace.!

  • aw man,,that kinda stung..tree huggers? pleeeaaaaaaaaaaasssssseeeeeeee BG. Be nice to us, I love your channel & I love healthy alternative eating <3

  • you crack me up!!! you look great and she is so adorable! i'm due un august and plan to breastfeed...hopefully i bounce back quick too!

  • I was wondering if you have problems with stretch marks? If so, what do you use to get rid of them? Im so happy you are losing the weight quickly, thats awesome. I love your vids.

  • I wish I would have known that when I was pregnant, oh well to late now my daughter is 15 and I'm still strugling with the weight. Good Luck and may you lose more pounds!

  • Your baby is not going to help you with that steak...You always make me laugh. Can't wait to see you in Ms. Pinkett body (with more curve obvies!)

    xx

  • try compression suits when you work out! Breast feeding is the best!!!!!

  • YEA Breastfeeding!!!!!!! I am still doing it... .love it .. I wouldn't have it any other way.

  • @BronzeGoddess01... You are certainly on the right track! You are probably going to be in that bikini before Sept. 20th!

  • i had my baby about 18 mths ago and i didnt wear the baby band around my stomach, and my doctor didnt even suggest it. I should of went with my gut feeling cause when i had my first i did and it really helped. Now that i have my third im committed to getting my stomach down to wear i want it. God bless you all

  • when u breastfeed, u lose 500 calories a day

  • BREAST FEEDING **IS** KEY!!! I'm a nurse, and "errrthing" you said was correct! LOL! That "errrthing" is as down south as this New Yorker is willing to go 8•) ! You only have 10lbs to go, then you can start tightening up. I'm rooting for you, boo! Much Love, and God Bless! XOCO

  • @ade52286 My goal is to be more toned like Jada Pinkett Smith just with a little more curves. She's about my height. I don't want to look too muscular but I want it to be obvious that I workout.

  • @ade52286 I was just about to say that. So true and its so healthy for the baby. However, it's not for everyone and a woman should not be made to feel bad for not doing it. However, I think African American women have been duped into not breastfeeding, thus denying our babies critical antibiotics.

  • ur doing GREAT! this is why when my mom tries to say that she's gone up 4 sizes over the years due to childbearing i give her the side eye. my mom's last child, my little sister, just turned 22 years old. so um, after a while it ain't "baby weight" it's "your weight". LOL.

  • lol..i gained weight breast feeding..I was eating good too....but I had a c-section too

    ....please do a hair tut..for the last vid...thanks

  • xpecting my first ... eating for two, burgers, kfc etc. intend on stopping real quick. i DO have my fruits and salads ALOT too but when i get those cravings i just can't help myself. this was a wake up call for me! thanks

  • @PurpleSting Portion control. I got a weakness for Ben and Jerry's Cheesecake ice cream. My hubby brought home the little mini size. It's SUPER TINY but it's enough to soothe my sweet tooth. I prefer things that were pre-packaged like that. If you have a whole bag of chips you'll eat waaaaay more than you should but if you have a tiny bag of chips, pretzels etc, once that little mini size is done you know it's time to stop.

  • @BronzeGoddess01 btw i'm only 11 weeks preggers so i guess cutting back now will help. thanks for the advice!

  • and i think ur locs grew a good amount too

  • @RootsRunDeeep YES THEY DID! My hair and nails grow like crazy with pregnancy hormones. I love it.

  • so how do u lose weight w/o loosing weight in ur butt??- do tell!

  • @RootsRunDeeep Most of my weight gain was in my midsection and a little in my hips and butt that's why my weight loss is more noticeable in my tummy. When I'm able to exercise, I'll focus on abdominal exercises like crunches. My grandma (the one I'm named after) has an amazing but and she's like, 70! It's all in the genes, no pun intended. Ok...maybe pun intended. :0)

  • also if baby cant latch on just use the pump for bttls for your child but just lactating itself will shrink you

  • Yep, I gained 30 lbs with my 2nd baby and by the time I got to my first postpartum checkup, I had lost 25 already. Just with breastfeeding.

  • How does one eat well without eating vegetables?

  • @azurretown I don't believe you can...LOL.

  • @azurretown What I was saying was I'm not a huge vegetable eater however I LOVE meat. I made myself eat more vegetables than I usually do when I was pregnant because I knew the baby needed it. I prefer meat over veggies, dairy, bread, fruit etc. When I'm pregnant I eat healthier because I want to make sure the baby has what she needs to grow. Hope that clears it up. :0)

  • PLEASE DON'T BE TO HARD ON YOURSELF, YOU ARE GOING TO BOUNCE BACK IN SHAPE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

  • Girl I so agree with what you said about the eating for 2. I was overweight before my pregnancy but I did get back to my pre-pregnancy weight 8 weeks after delivery. NOw I am working to battle losing all this weight once and for all. I watched your video the other day and have decided that I will weigh myself at the end of the month but will not weigh again until 12/31/11. You said in your video that you care most of all about what you look like and the scale doesn't determine that. Love ya

  • my friend binded her stomach for weeks and weeks after her baby and her stomach is flatter than mine and i never had kids lol so that binding really works.

  • good vid. i sent it to my pregnant sister.

  • 22lbs in 3 weeks every non-preggers woman's dream.

  • I don't eat meat but I'm not a tree hugger. :) I think you looked great right after the baby and you look awesome now. The baby is beautiful...

  • I am pregnant right now and the baby is definitely letting me know what I can and cannot eat. It's amazing how something/one so small have so much control.

  • @PalaisCristalLLC Exactly. Sometimes Kaya sleeps in bed with hubby and I and she takes up so much space. We're both clinging to the edge while she's all stretched out in the middle. She had us up this morning from about 3:45 to 5:00am! ENJOY YOUR 8 OF SLEEP NOW. PLEEEEEEASE. :0)

  • @BronzeGoddess01 I will, looks like I need a nap now... i'm out :o)

  • Haitian women wrap their bellies after having a baby all the time except after a c-section, I am not sure if other Caribbean women do this but the french does this as well. Wrapping the belly is a big thing in many cultures.

  • This was amazing! Thank you for posting this. Confirmation on what I plan on doing with the bun in the oven. My first experience with my daughter wasn't successful, like you mentioned, not enough milk production, but I am determined to get it right this time. God Bless and Thanks so much! Lil Princess is adorable!

  • hi, hope you are still around to answer, what is the cream or lotion you are using on your baby, i am struggling with what to use on my baby. thanks

  • @Pamelholy I use Johnson and Johnson baby lotion but Kaya's skin is still dry. I took her to the pediatrician and she recommended a special over the counter cream. I think it's called aquaphor. She also said to wash my baby every other day. (I know right) She said newborns don't require so many baths and that could be part of the reason why her skin is so dry. She said ideally I would exfoliate her skin but since she's too young she said just use a regular washcloth as usual. Hope that helps.

  • Congrats and God bless you :-)

  • So did you gain weight only in your mid section? Was your behind always that developed before the baby or did you gain weight there too? At any rate, you look great. I'm sure you will be in your bikini by the summer's end like you plan.

  • @rocksdalocks I thought I gained weight only in my midsection but some of my pre-pregnancy jeans are SUPER TIGHT. Also hubby says my hips and butt got a little bigger (trust me, he ain't complaining.) :0)

  • aww your baby is so adorable :)

  • @RetroVintageChic86 She's always hungry. :0) She likes to eat like her mommy.

  • You look so good......

    

  • aww new mommy! sooo cute!

  • I love how full of life you always seem to be! A great encouragement always. I am expecting baby #2 in late October! It will be operation "Get the Weight OFF", lol. Oh and I've also started the process l to loc my hair last month. Hoping to stay the course!

  • you look good, after my son I slimmed down. But with the passing of my mom around the same time I had already dropped some weight. Plus carried small, so I didn't gain a whole ton of weight. Right now I'm working out, doing my kickboxing when I can, so I'm getting back to the old me.

  • I am so glad u said u were breastfeeding. People do not realize how much weight u loose. Great Vid!!!

  • I will say I'm going to continue with healthy eating & take advantage of my gym membership as soon as my dr permit. In the mean time I will keep your motivational videos on repeat lol

    God Bless u & yours.

  • Lol very hype but funny. Anyhow just wanna say u look great. I gained 45 with my babygirl but after giving birth & with breast feeding I lost 17lbs within a 1wk & 1/2. I was so happy cuz I just kept losing it but um that was 7 yrs ago lol. Now I was trying to meet you weight lose challenge but was recently hospitalized & I'm now on steroids so I have an obstacle which means delay for me :( tk

  • *DEAD at "...the baby don't want half on that steak!" LMBO!! I love you BronzeGoddess!! :D You're amazing! Go girl!

  • kaya is too cute :) Get it BG!!

  • I don't have any kids yet, but I am so scared of those nasty stretch marks (the black ones). Do you have any? or do you know anything that prevents them. I know it has to do with how elastic your skin is. My mama doesn't have any at all with 3 kids, I hope it's genetic :)

  • boy I wish some one gave me that bit of logic when I was pregnant with my son in "06"....

  • I am breast feeding too and I am loosing the weight also!

  • She's so cute!

  • yaaaay, breastfeeding! i breastfed all of mine (i'm actually still nursing my one year old, and i can't believe it lol) and it took all of my baby weight off :)

  • Girl i just love your videos...you are so real and too funny! And Ms. Kaia Rene (hope i spelled her name right) is simply beautiful...

  • You said it very well. I had my third born 9 weeks ago and got to my pre-pregnancy size around week 4 or so. However, I still have my gut. Breastfeeding does work but I need ideas to get washboard abs, trying to be a hot mama. Everyone says I don't even look like I have kids, but I know what I want to look like when I take off my clothes. Are you going to share the kinds of exercise and foods you eat to get to your goal. I have cut out lots of carbs but not all of it b'c of breastfeeding.

  • @akinneyeo1 I can't wait to show you guys my favorite ab excercises. I learned them in the military and my abs looked FABULOUS!

  • @BronzeGoddess01 Ok, can't wait. I'll just start doing sit ups until then.

  • hahahaa! well said. good job.

  • honey, you look aboslutely wonderful and I'm happy for you and your family - but please make sure that in the coming videos we can actually see your face again. I'm not saying that the rest of your body doesn't look lovely - I just prefer looking at your eyes and face when you're talking to us, you know. :)

    lots of love!

  • @ledahimalia I'm so sorry about that. I didn't realize it was cut off until the video was uploaded to YT. She's wide awake now so I can't re-record. So sorry.

  • Girl you got a donk! :)

  • Awe it sounds like she's singing la la la :-)

  • Thank you for sharing this information!! Your baby is so beautiful!!! I agree with your eating for 2 analysis lol so many woman feel like this is the case!
