If you're wishing you could lose the baby weight, we have Jessica Alba's tips for getting back into shape -- the right way.

lose_baby_weight.jpgThose lucky celebs -- one week they have huge baby bumps and the next they're back to their famous washboard abs. Well, new moms, you might not have the best trainers and dietitians in Hollywood, but you too can quickly lose the baby bulge by following a few of Jessica Alba's tips.

For exercise, Jessica sticks to 10-minute intervals of cardio, circuit training and core work. But aside from her planned-out regimen, the new mom gets her exercise by just going for a hike or adding some extra walking to her day. Heading to the mall? Take an extra lap around.

As for diet, dropping about 200 calories from your daily diet like Jessica did will give you that added push to lose it quick. With your newly packed schedule, you probably won't be eating out as much -- and cooking at home will help control your calories. Stick to the delicious, nutritious basics like chicken and veggies -- no time for fancy-shmancy recipes!

Hey Tyra! I'm a 24 year old mom of 3 and let me tell u that even with my busy mom schedule I never miss ur show. my kids who are 7 months 2 year old and a 5 years old also watch it with me. My son even knows who u are and what u do. Well i need some advice. I'm very stresed out with my life. I'm with my husband David for 7 years and the father of my 3 kids. I must say that David and I have had a rocky relationship and lately I've been very distant with him. I think my feelings are changing and I'm trying soo hard to rescue our relationship. Please Tyra give me some advice on how to rekindle my love. He's my highschool sweetheart and my kids' father. I want to grow old with him and see our grandkids with him. Yet right now I can't stand him near me. All I want is to be alone and have some "me" time. I feel he doesn't understand me but I know he's trying soo hard to stick with me and put up with me. I hope u can help me out here...before I lose myself in my moodiness and with my temper. Before I lose my husband. Thank you and thanks for giving us that great show of urs!

I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO GO ON A HEATHLY DIET. HOW DO I DO THAT?
 
HiTyra first i must thank you for the work you do to help people in different grades and you don't choose rich or poor, black o0r white name it. you are down to earth and a very carding person.

Faizah Mombasa, Kenya, East Africa
 
hey tyra, i love your show. your so down to earth and its wonderful to have a woman able to point out the things that most women would not. well, i have a 4 month old wonderful son. i couldn't ask for anything more. the thing is, when i was pregnant, i came down with preeclampsia and it made me gain so much weight. way more then what i should have. I've never had stretch marks and never weighed so much in my life. the first week after i had jason, i lost 35 pounds of water weight. i was feeling pretty good. now, i seem to be gaining it all back. maybe its b/c im pretty much stuck at home all the time. i dont do much of anything and starting to become depressed about everything. i can't sleep at night b/c of it. PLEASE help. i feel all alone
 
Hey Tyra my name is Kayla I am 18 years old and i have a boy he is almost 3! I would like to say i am a more responsible person. i am in college and i have a GPA of 4.0! I watch your show every afternoon and you incourage me to be more than myself and thank you!
 
To COurtney...Maybe if you get involved with an after school sport or activity instead of watching Tyra then you would not have the extra weight that you are complaining about.
 
somebody posted this earlier. "Way to glamorize pregnancy even more than Hollywood already does, and way to shove more beauty standards down the throats of American women. Women already get enough sh*t thrown at them from beauty ads, movie stars, advertisements, etc telling us we need to be thin and fit to feel beautiful. Motherhood, although it may not be for every woman, is supposed to be a beautiful thing in itself. Women SHOULD NOT be pressured anymore by celebrities. You claim the Tyra show is all about helping young women, but most of the messages I have seen from this show are extremely demeaning. You want to help young women? Talk about the REAL issues and stop being a pretentious feminist. " ^^^ Motherhood is a beautiful thing, i would know because i am a mother myself. I am going to give you my honest opinion dear. If Tyra was sitting there telling every girl in America that she needs to be model thin, or telling us that we are ugly for being overweight then i would greatly appreciate you standing up and saying something. But if you would do your research, you would see that she is answering OUR questions and talking about the issues that WE BRING TO HER and that she see's with her own eyes. she is very non judgemental from what i see, and she is only here to help. people ask her for advice and she gives it. this show is not only about beauty, there are so many issues highlighted on this show. issues that each and every one of us can relate to in some way or another. there is nothing demeaning about it.
 
hey tyra i am in love with your show i wacth it every day at 3. but im 16 years old and i have bad love handels and baby fat on my stomach and legs and i dont know how to work that off. i do alot sports though and it still does not go away. and i have stretch meark on my side legs and i want to get ride of them.
