VLOG | How I lost (& still losing) the baby weight.

[@amontgomery1212]

"Brad doesn't want me to show you cuz he's wearing his glasses but he still looks pretty sexual" :'D lolol love you Tiffany! Olivia is already getting so big and she looks so precious :)

[@brandih.1557]

Loved seeing Waylon cruising down the hallway

[@HardcoreGlamour01]

I have been watching you for so many years now, and having 2 kids myself I know what its like to have a c section and a vaginal birth and the recovery. It makes me so so happy to hear you be so truthful about your recovery. I think as subscribers we see the 'good' parts (mostly) of the youtubers we watch which gives us the belief that they dont struggle which can make us feel down about ourselves. I really respect you for that

[@AbbieLewis]

I love your attitude about all of it. My daughter was born 2/9/15 via unplanned c-section so it's been great hearing about your experience as I've been recovering as well. Olivia is precious! Keep up the great work momma!

[@morganca42]

I lost 60 pounds in preparation to get pregnant and to just get overall healthy. I agree that balance is key! You can't deprive yourself of foods because that leads to overindulging and that is never good. I have kept my weight off by finding my balance and still enjoying treats. Exercise, lots of water, and eating right...there are no secrets! Thank you for being honest and real because as you know there are too many people out there who push weight loss products etc. =)

[@phenomenalgirl]

I also lost about 65 lbs before getting pregnant and I agree it's all about balance. 😀

[@ImMo1256]

Morgan M That is the boat that I am in right now, I am trying to get as healthy as I can so that when I am ready to start trying for kids, there is no need to worry about that. good to know that I'm not the only one. :)

[@jammiepuppy]

I love your attitude! This is exactly how to lose weight/keep it off - small consistent changes everyday but being relaxed and allowing treats when you want!

[@DisneyDoodle24]

I love this!! I agree wholeheartedly with you girl! I've been using a natual, plant based health and wellness line since my 2nd daughter was born and it's completely changed my perspective and view on weight loss. It shouldn't be an obsessive or drastic thing. Enjoy it and know you're beautiful!!

[@Schlurpies]

I lost majority of my baby weight from breastfeeding. It's pretty amazing how much weight you lose sitting on your butt!

[@lmofarrell]

Just curious - are you breastfeeding Olivia? If so, do you have any suggestions for nursing apparel or just breastfeeding in general?

[@AnaeseV]

Hi!!! Here is some amazing baby advice that truly saved our lives! I always used to our music on for our baby while she slept.. Medium volume.. Loud enough for her to get used to sleeping with noise. We had dogs and lots of people in the house and this really helped a lot. I put a little clock radio under her bed and put on soft rock music or any kind of music so that she had the noise! It got to the point where I could vacuum while she was asleep! Try it :) I absolutely love your videos and am such a fan!

[@Panda-cf2qt]

I had my son 2 years ago and i still get weird pains and feeling at my c section scar, you look amazing its so hard as moms to lose the baby weight especially when celebrities "drop" the baby weight so quickly, keep up the great work!!!

[@franklin22222]

Loving the vlogs! Thanks for the glimpse of the bub :) you're the only beauty channel I watch now :p

[@thevibrantvixen]

This IS the absolute best time of your life. Cherish it. Enjoy every minute. It blows by in what seems like a minute. Beautiful wishes to the three of you!

[@BeeutyObsessed]

I do flexible dieting. If I feel like eating something, I eat it lol but I keep track of my macros. And I workout daily. Don't be afraid to lift weights, you're not going to get bulky :)

[@SizShi]

I love the brief vlog and then switch to beauty set up talk video. I haven't seen another KZbinr do that.

[@TheBee143]

Loving these vlogs! And I love your weight loss perspective, some people over analyze what they're eating. Eat what you want, just not every day! Olivia is the cutest btw. :)

[@andiem2025]

Thanks for the motivation Tiffany! It's really easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing to lose weight and it's frustrating when you don't see those same results. I'm trying to lose 10 pounds that I've gained since high school and the way you describe things really makes it sound a lot easier than just sticking with some fad diet. Keep on making the Wednesday vlogs!

[@lex7799]

Really interesting video, Tiffany. Thank you for taking the time to put this up and being open. I realise it's a tricky one as you haven't had that big struggle some people have, but still, 20lbs post baby, is still 20lbs. Thanks so much for the balanced, realistic approach. Xxxx

[@pbj2121]

All extremely good advice that I think applies to anyone losing weight, whether it's post pregnancy weight or not. Thank you!

[@JemJemR]

You look amazing!! So refreshing to hear someone not obsessed with food and being thin!! Xx

[@oddtodd888]

Agree with everything! Moderation is key, but splurges are so important for keeping your sanity. I'd also suggest to stop following "fitness guru" Instagram accounts - for me it was a huge cause of guilt and would keep me feeling fat when I'm really not.

[@Alyssa18633]

Waylon is probably a little jealous now that Olivia is here and gets all the attention

[@laurenciampi7441]

How's your diet with breastfeeding? Has it affected your supply? Actually, I'm not Sure you are?

[@cissy1160]

What do you put in your protein shakes? I'm currently six months pregnant and my doctor told me I need to add more protein to my diet.

[@lmmbchampion]

I love your attitude and I agree with what you said about balance. I stop eating when I'm not hungry anymore instead of stuffing my belly and also like sharing an occasional dessert with my hubby or kids. That way, my craving is satisfied and I'm not worried about weight--everything in moderation:)

[@laurenrodgers2912]

I loved this video; I have struggled with the whole dad diet scene, and this video was extremely practical. Overall, I think you expressed a really important point that life is much more than your weight! Thank you:)

[@ilyStephan1e]

It's good, general advice, it really is. It's all about a balanced, long term lifestyle consisting of being active and incorporating nutritious-rich foods and enjoying your favorite treats too. It's basic and common sense, but this is exactly the kind of thing I had to learn on my own, and WISH I had had my mother or a cousin, older sister, aunt, someone who broke it down for me and introduced me to these concepts growing up. I guarantee this is going to help people who are also in that boat.

[@tensecsb4sunrise]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I can almost identically relate to your pregnancy experience (I am currently in month 7) and your video made me feel SO much better. THANK YOU :)

[@kaceeburrus]

Mama's pancake breakfast hahaha you were crackin me up with that!! This video has really inspired me. I do not have kids however I am struggling with losing about 10-15 pounds and like you, I just can't commit to going to the gym. Thanks for the pointers, I'm definitely going to try some of them out!!

[@misskkaitlynmichelle]

Where did you find your pink nikes? I love them but I cannot find them anywhere!

[@morganbarnett8514]

I love your headband :) you were wearing when you guys were walking.. Soo adorable !!

[@loolootee]

Do u have a link for the pink tennis shoes?

[@jessicarandall3066]

I just want to say I love your channel & your vlogs. You are down to earth and have an adorable family. I can tell you are enjoying being a mother! I was very similar to you at your age after my first baby & after a few more years and 2 more babies I think my metabolism stopped! I agree with your philosophy but now I do really struggle and have to watch every bit I eat (especially bread & sugar). It stinks & I want to be young again :) you look great & have such a healthy outlook! It is very refreshing to see on KZbin!

[@autumnkim2384]

You look great tiffany! I'm glad ur not 'obsessed' over dieting and exercising and maintaining a good balance

[@selenematamoros]

Great, now I want momma's pancake breakfast from CB! Lol. Seriously though, living for the vlog videos!

[@elise5195]

Also, if you're comfortable sharing, where did you go to college? (Sorry if you've said it before)

[@mysonruns]

You're doing it right, slow & steady. Youre looking good Tiff!

[@IkaraES]

Bellybands are not recomendable. I also had a c-section and only wore it for like 10 days just because I really needed that extra support. If you wear a band your muscles work less and they need more time to tone naturally. When I got pregnant I was a little bit overweight, just a few pounds and gained 40 pounds while pregnant. I lost them all in just 4 months after having my baby and all I did was breastfeed and eat normal. Breastfeeding can give you so much hunger but my measure was: eat the same as my husband, not more. And by eating "normal" and breastfeeding I even lost the overweight I had before getting pregnant and I lost even cellulite!!! In total I lost 52 pounds. And the only excercise I did was walk. (I breastfed for 2 years and has helped me to stay thin, not that I really care, but it just happened haha)

[@AnaLauraEsthetics]

She's such a happy baby you're so blessed!! Ps: keep the vlogs coming! :)

[@HoppyAlina]

What stroller did you buy? I'm expecting very soon like next month. I'm the hunt for a stroller.

[@Jazzonic]

I've just had two back to back pregnancies - so now I'm 60 lbs overweight. I was 80, but I've lost 20 lbs so far. :) It's slow progress, but I'm taking frequent walks with them (they are 5 months and 21 months) since no one will watch them so I can go to a gym. I wish I could look half as good as you do! You look amazing! :)

[@MissyChicaBella]

I always tell people the same thing, moderation and balance is key! Don't deprive yourself! :) I enjoyed hearing you talk about this!

[@ashleyparriott4173]

Did you see Waylon creeping in with his lil head about 15 min in? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love him!

[@himbeerzitroenchen]

The reason you crave sweet stuff after drinking diet sodas (or eating food that is sweetened with any kind of sugar substitute) is that when you give your body something sweet it automatically assumes its going to get calories, which isnt the case when you are consuming sugarfree beverages, which leads it to send signal to want more!

[@FoodsEyeViewASMR]

Her cheeks are everything!!! SO cute!

[@mahadewiiii]

Great video Tiffany.. my baby (youngest child) is 6 years old... but I still have weight to lose (have yoyo'ed a lot in the last few years) and your video really touched me! I never had a weight issue as a child or teenager (good metabolism/genes and fairly active), but being a binge/emotional eater and also with a LOVE for baking and cooking along with no exercise, my weight has become an issue in the last 10 yrs or so. Recently I decided it's time to do something about it. I'm 31 and realise I need to take charge of my health! I really agree with having having a balanced approach, not depriving yourself,,, but eating as much healthy food as you can! I'm vegetarian so already love vegetables, but love my starches and fried foods too. Lately I've really focused on discovering healthy and clean recipes/meals that are satisfying and I love and have actually become addicted to, rather than the crap I was eating before! Whether it's food or exercise you need to find something you enjoy and is sustainable.. I've lost a few kilograms already and feeling so happy and motivated to keep going,, it definitely makes you feel younger and better about yourself!! Thanks for the great video. Love from Australia xo

[@suzzetredick1162]

Yay!! So happy I could catch this before I go to bed!

[@NillaOhlsson]

I've always viewed diets and such with an "all or nothing" aproach, and like you said it's definilely setting myself up for failiure. I can never stick with it! My weakness is sweets, and I've struggled with it because when you give in once you feel like you failed. But I think your aproach is a much more healthier way of viewing your diet, because it seems like a more obtainable lifestyle than just never letting yourself have the little things, if that makes sense. And at the end of the day you want to create a healthy lifestyle and not just a quick fix and then back to your "bad" ways. So I'm definitely going to try this out :) thanks for the great video, I really found it helpful!

[@FavoriteDaughterEmily]

Love all the honest food talk. Great tips and tricks! 👍🏻

[@phenomenalgirl]

Good honest video about post partum weight loss! Thanks. I'm 9 months post partum and the weight loss is still a journey.

[@IselaRLozano]

Tiffany all car seats are adjustable. Look at your manual and it will tell you how to move the shoulder steps up.

[@MakeupByTiffanyD]

MaryLozano yes, it's to the max! :) This one I was speaking of in the video that she has outgrown is her infant carseat. They typically go up to 20 or 30 pounds depending on the brand, (and a max height as well). For her, her shoulders are so broad that she sits sideways in the seat almost. like her shoulders are squished. We have the Maxi Cosi Mico AP and unfortunately we didn't know that it ran pretty narrow. Most bigger babies like Olivia typically outgrow their infant seats by 4-6 months while some smaller babies can stay in it upward of 8 months. She's the size of a 6-8 month old already haha so it makes sense. We already switched her to her convertable car seat and she loves it!

[@starshop02]

Where did you get that black headband you were wearing in the beginning? I love it! Thank you! :)

[@CourtneyWilliams11]

Maybe look into a Contigo water bottle. I got mine from Target for around $13 and it has really kept me on track for my daily intake...and I'm really not even into water. Lol. It holds 24 oz and has the measurement on the bottle so it's easy to keep track of.

[@stacyray25]

You look absolutely beautiful!! Your little belly will go down more and it will be like one week you will be like wow it shrunk especially after 1st baby!! It goes back down after second baby but you start showing earlier second time around!! It is like those muscles know how to loosen back up lol!! You have a healthy mindset regarding the whole diet deal!! Anything you put off limits automatically makes you crave it and if you deprive yourself it sets you up to binge on it later!! Dieting is definitely what causes binge eating!! I never had problems with my weight until about 40 then it just gradually started creeping up because I have a thyroid disorder but it stayed within 10 lbs and always wore with 2 sizes of clothes. Then I went on crash cleanse and diet and lost down to size 2 and within 1 1/2 year all the weight and more came back with it!! I am more comfortable in my on skin now even with extra weight than before!! I wouldn't mind losing the weight but I accept myself either way!! You should watch some of WeightLossApocalyse you tube videos!! They are great and help so much with not only accepting your body but all of you!! I am sure those sessions aren't for everyone but they helped me even in other areas of my life!! Btw Tiffany you seem like such a sweet little momma!!

[@Jasmine4.44]

How is it possible for a baby to be so perfect!!!!!!!! Looooove u Olivia 💞💞💞💞💞

[@christyf615]

I love the black headband you were wearing the the first clip!

[@ducky0709]

"Getting down on mama's pancake breakfast" 😂😂😂😂 you crack me up

[@kelpielove22]

Do a what's in your fridge!!!!

[@shadowsmoked88]

It was really interesting to hear your thoughts on this. I still have a few months of pregnancy left, but I am already thinking about losing the weight.

[@kimjones246]

I think you hit the nail on the head with this video! Excellent advice!

[@WellnessatTiffanys]

I totally agree with you and I'm a nutritionist! If your not used to working out or eating healthy and you go at it really hard your not going to stick to it! Make small changes!

[@melliemell4101]

After loosing 68 lbs I kept a eating habit and stick with it, I was eating poorly during my pregnancy. But now I stick to eating healthy but also keep myself happy.

[@claudiap7792]

My baby will be 7 months tmrw and I also had a c section. It takes quite awhile for that dull, weird feeling to go away. I still have those days where my baby will kick or step on the c section area and it does not feel pleasant. I don't know and I've heard that the numbness can stay with you forever. I guess I'll find out, but I still have that numb, tingly feeling. Anyway, u look amazing! No worries, enjoy your baby girl and set a healthy example for her, that's what is important😉God bless u and your family

[@Fruezayfe]

Waylon's surprise appearance is everything!

[@katiefoley176]

Olivia and Waylon are so cute! I love how Waylon would be in the shot here and there :)

[@anagr950]

I really like your attitude about gain weight during and after pregnancy. I think you look really good, I don't think you need to go crazy trying to loose weight it's not like your obese. Don't go crazy with weights it's not a classy look when your to muscular. I had two babies and I try to eat healthy but I don't go crazy.

[@heatherm2485]

Bring on the handbag collection and shoes! What about a nighttime routine? I'm really terrible when it comes to my nighttime routine and I feel like seeing what you do being a mom could help kick my butt in gear

[@StephanieElayne]

More makeup videos pleaseeee I miss them!

[@lulu2lalas]

So basically balance! I gained 45 pounds but I was kind of overweight so I got huge and right away lost 35 pounds too then over a year of not even trying I lost the remaining weight. BUT I was overweight when I got pregnant so it doesn't even feel amazing to be on my pre-pregnancy weight. So I'm now really working towards getting down to a healthy weight, and the same way, if i want to eat I'll eat but I don't eat fried up stuff every single day. I cook at home, fish, chicken and pasta, and go on walks and get on the elliptical a little longer or a little faster every other day. then there are days when I don't feel like exercising, and then I start up again the next week.

[@mommywood1]

What protein do you use?

[@clarissaroman2554]

What kind of convertible car seat do you have for Livie? I'm driving myself nuts trying to decide on one lol also I heard you me mention Waylon waking up the baby with his toy. If you aren't using one we found a sound machine helps. I have a dog and he's a barker so it helped a ton.

[@doriscastewood9987]

Hi Tiffany.!!! Are u still wearing your belly band??? & did it help..!!! I give birth to my little one 6weeks ago, I use one but Didn't like it much I'm looking for one that works..!!! Thanks..!

[@kcreativek]

Her cheeks are so adorable! I so agree with you with being pregnant and having a heightened sense of smell because I just recently told my husband it seems like when I'm pregnant I have a dog nose because you can smell everything underneath the sun

[@GPerez-909]

Which stroller is that? I'm due in January and want to start purchasing items in July. Thanks!

[@Morganbking111]

The same thing happened with our infant car seat! We had the baby trend expedition and it goes up to 30lbs but she got too wide for it at 20lbs! She's petite and so she's kind of shorter. I just was wondering what 30lb baby could fit in there! Lol

[@RoxMomma]

Great video Tiffany! I had a baby boy at the end of February and I'm working to get off about 20 pounds too! You didn't mention whether you are breastfeeding or not. I've found that I'm always starving and have found it so difficult to cut calories since I'm nursing.

[@ashleyparriott4173]

I need that headband you're wearing on your walk!!

[@101stylesiheart]

tiffany whats the second carseat that u got for olivia?? Fun fact, my daughter is also named Olivia (born sept 1) and she also has the maxi cosi u guys have but im shopping for a new car seat caus she outgrew it!

[@lovealwaysholli]

Could you make a video with your protein shake recipe and maybe tell us more about what you guys do for dinner?

[@samanthacarpenter7234]

Do you take Waylon out when you go for walks? I've still got 14lb to lose to get to my prepregnancy weight and my little boy is 13 weeks. Can't get motivated but feeling down because of the weight! 😞

[@MakeupByTiffanyD]

samantha carpenter yes we do sometimes! Not every time. We have a lot of dogs and families and people out and about in our neighborhood and he pulls and gets away easily. Brad has to be the one to hold him especially when I was pregnant and now recovering from the csection after baby although I'm pretty good now. But he has a big fenced yard that he runs wild in every day so he does't "need" the walks daily like some dogs would. But we still bring him when Brad is up for the extra workout ;)

[@samanthacarpenter7234]

My dogs a puller too! He's only 10.8kg so a lot smaller than Waylon but he's strong! I have a little girl who just turned 2 last week and a boy whose 13 weeks and I can't take my dog, Scruff, out on my own with them because my little girl likes to walk everywhere now and my dog is an antisocial, grump old man so my partner has to be there if I take him. I used to like the pulling when I was pregnant because I went overdue both times so hoped it would hurry things along...hehe! Thanks for replying. Xx

[@Tine011000]

Get a gentle leader for your dogs. My dog is 220 lbs and pure muscle and he couldn't pull me if he tried. And it's not mean to the digs. Best invention ever!!!

[@shannonburke5565]

I buy those breakway cookies that are premade from like Pillsbury. You can freeze them and just bake one or two whenever you want it.

[@sassyleslie1121]

Will you be doing any cooking videos in these weekly vlogs? Love the videos!

[@pinkypromisecat]

This video eased my anxiety for weight after pregnancy Thank you! :D

[@brook8228]

Finally a realistic dieting and fitness video!

[@SizShi]

I just thought about something you might like to try since you spoke about arm toning- get good 2 lb wrist weights to use when you walk. Frees your hands and you can do cardio and toning at one time.

[@hmbutler13]

@makeupbytiffanyd are you still breastfeeding? That helps with weight loss. You can burn up to 500 calories per day breast feeding. I haven't lost what I need to, but also got pregnant with my second before I got back to pre pregnancy weight from my first. I'm like you though, not stressing over it. It will come off when it needs to. We don't deprive ourselves of food we like, but we also eat very healthy meals. It's the snacks!! The snacks kill.

[@Abigail-iv3gv]

My mother is a labor and delivery nurse and she always stresses how important breastfeeding is for losing baby weight so thats also something to consider!

[@ashleyparriott4173]

What kind of protein powder do you like? Recipes?

[@befany14]

Are you still breastfeeding? I am 4 months post partum and breastfeeding and I exercise but I have to eat a lot to keep my supply up.

[@katievandaele3796]

Where did you buy the Nike's? Do you have a link and name for the pink Nike's? I tried the link you posted, but I couldn't find them. Olivia is just the cutest!!!

[@rosed4304]

I recommend yoga for getting things back into place. I lost all my baby weight in the first month after giving birth, but nothing fit the same and my whole body seemed to change. I looked a little like a half deflated balloon. In the end I added five pounds back and my body transformed by doing yoga. Plus it is something you can do with the little one at home:)

[@sahjanea]

Lovng the vlogs!! 😁

[@Ashley6]

Love your vid!! :) I ate the same all through my pregnancy as I used to eat before. I'm 40 weeks this week and I've gained 25 pounds. I feel happy and healthy! :) I can't wait to meet my baby! :)

[@Jules_Miau]

What´s the size 27 in German? I think you are looking good and do it the right way!

[@melissahermoso8234]

What kind of protein or ingredients do you put in your morning shakes???

[@mollysullivan6414]

hi tiffany! what's olivia's birthday? i know it's in january but i can't remember the date!

[@amandatracey3287]

January 22nd

[@samanthamarquez441]

What are some of your soup recipes I would love to know!

[@courtneyfink5880]

My husband wears high socks like that bc he is in the army and wears boots to work. They are also supposed to wear high socks during PT

[@emilywithfreckles]

"Brad doesn't want me to show hi, because he's wearing his glasses. But he still looks... pretty sexual" Hahaha is that what you said? I love it! :)

[@MakeupByTiffanyD]

emilywithfreckles haha yes!

[@rosed4304]

So, breast feeding contributes to shifting things back into place, something about the hormones. I had a C-Section too, and my midwife and OBGYN advised that I wear granny undies and high waist bottoms for about a year, and it worked. I have no visible scarring, but is still feels kinds weird when that area is touched and it had been nearly a decade since my little girl made her debut.
