Eating for two doesn't just apply when you're pregnant. Now that baby is born you've got more mouths to feed but your looking at the same money to work with. It can be hard to adjust financially to a new family but make sure you don't skimp on where it can hurt you most.

However, when you want to lose weight after giving birth you can't depend on those low price high fat goodies. Gyms are fine but they are expensive and time consuming and a busy mom's time is precious. So, rather than spending your money on expensive personal trainers or diet programs, you can use these basic tips to set you on course to lose the pregnancy weight without the high price tag.

A. Pass Up the Fitness Club

It's the same old story when it comes to gyms, lots of people have memberships but never go. Having to leave your house to lose weight after giving birth is not necessary, you can tone and trim without flying the coop. Staying creative can include everything from tricep dips using a chair or pushups in the kitchen and crunches on an exercise ball or lunges across the living room.

B. Cut out the Specialty Coffee

When you are trying to lose weight after giving birth try not to drink your calories. Drinking a cappuccino 3 or 4 times per week may seem harmless to your taste buds but if you are a regular at the local coffee shop, this 'harmless' habit can be putting up to a 20 dollar hole in your pocket book and unwanted fat on your hips. If you can't pull the chord on your favorite haunt, then try and stick with the juices or good old water.

C. Your own Personal Trainer

Instead of paying for 10 step classes at the gym, pay for 100 of them with one DVD. Now with fitness DVD's you can have a personal trainer at home to lose weight after giving birth. Pilates, Fat-Burning Yoga, and Tiabo are just some of the many options for getting your workout done in front of the TV. When I get lazy I like to turn on the latest reality show about weight loss and use the encouraging words of advice those trainers use to spur me on too!

You don't have to be swimming in debt when trying to lose weight after giving birth. Trim your tummy by cutting back on spending frivolously on fad diets or expensive gym fees. Instead be resourceful and make the personal training very personal by creating your own routine and make healthy food choices. Save your money. Start living a healthy lifestyle and no matter what take time to treat yourself as a new mom!
