How can I quickly lose the baby weight after I deliver in April?

I was at a very healthy weight of 140lbs 3 years ago, got pregnant with my son and gained 65 pounds! I tried to get it off and only lost a little of it. I am oregnant again and have not gained much weight at all, but after the baby comes I want to get back to close to my original size..I want to have the energy I used to have to play with my kids etc! ANy suggestions??????

Answer:
I have to agree with Michelle. Breastfeeding helps to really take off that baby weight fast. And it is the healthiest option for your baby. Besides that just make sure you cut down your meal portions back to what you were eating pre-pregnancy, a lot of women make the mistake of still eating for two. And exercise. They have classes in many areas for moms and newborns. You basically use the baby in your exercise routine, so you get to bond and play while getting fit. They have DVDs of this also if you either don't have the time or can't afford to actually go to the classes. Being you are having your baby in the spring you can always put him/her in the stroller and go for long walks. any activity is good.
Congratulations on the new little one.
Well since you said quickly, you would have to have mega bucks and be able to afford your own personal trainer to keep you working out for 4-6 hours EVERY day. You would also need your own dietician as well as chef to prepare all of your non-fat, healthy yet tasty meales every day. You might even want to hire a hypnotist to hynotise you into turning your nose up at chocolate and the occasional fatty junk food because as you said you want to do it quickly. Of course you could also opt for lyposuction...
Breastfeed! It really helps and is great for your baby too.
Weight Watchers! They have very recently modified it online so that you can breastfeed and lose weight at the same time. I have lost all my baby weight (within 8 weeks--28 lb) and then some (but the then some has taken awhile because I haven't followed the plan very well)

And exercise. You will lose all the weight and still be at least 1 jean size bigger unless you exercise too. Take the baby in the stroller and walk around the park. That's what I did.

Good luck!
Breastfeeding really helps you lose your 'baby tummy'. If Weight Watchers worked for you before, maybe try that again. Have fun with your little ones!
when you are pregnant you should do alot of swimming because when your baby is born working out should be nothing to you, because you already have the extra weight off of you so it should be easier for you , and try to not eat 3 too 4 hours before you go to bed after your done given birth..
Breastfeeding is a good start, but it's far from being a perfect solution. Take time now to build effective and healthy habits. Of course don't wear yourself out, but do moderate exercise each day, even if it's just walking a couple blocks. This can be followed up with pushing the stroller around the block.
After the baby is born, gradually work back into the "schedule" of three balanced meals a day with low-calorie snacks in between. Do not try to cut back any further than that, otherwise your body will kick into a sort of survival mode.
Other than breastfeeding (what I thought of first), drink lots of water everyday and when hungry between meals snack on carrot, celery and other vegetable sticks and slices (NO ranch dressing or dipping though!).
If you are serious about losing weight, the calories
in the food you eat should be less than the
energy you use. You will have to increase your
metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.
Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will
lose weight faster. More details available at
