That's great if you have nothing else to do but lose weight and take care of your baby and you can afford to have a babysitter follow you wherever you go, but what if you work, too, and are trying to finish your novel and you don't have a huge advance? How do you lose that much weight in that short a period of time for the every day woman who can't go the gym twice a day? What do you recommend? Not everyone is a Hollywood woman. * * * * * * * <em>Wait. Is this a joke? First of all, I was trying to finish a book while was doing this. Second, I support a family of four and did not take any maternity leave (which I absolutely do not recommend to anyone). I do not have tons of money. This was an enormous expense to us. It's about prioritizing. I did this while I lived in a 500 square foot apartment with two kids in New York City. I have written about all this on the blog. Take a look around. I'm a lot more like you than you think. -Penelope</em> Congrats.
