Question: Loosing baby weight. please help, im desperate.?
Answers:
your baby weight is in your stomach. doing cardio and limiting calorie intake will burn off a significant amount of fat, but will consistently target your body as a whole, without targeting the fat you want to lose in your belly.
isolate what you burn, and do some ab exercise, which will build a little muscle but more importantly will burn off more of that stomach fat

Do you have in Paraguard or Mirena? I have in Paraguard (no hormones) and my have not gained.
I know it sounds counter-productive but you NEED to eat more than 800 calories per day, just of the right foods. At least 1,300-1,400 calories per day. Your body needs to energy to lose weight.
Do lots of whole body resistance training (3-4 days/week) and high intensity cardio (5-6 days/week).
Also, remember that your body will never be back to it's pre-pregnancy shape, usually.
Good luck! You can do it!
EDIT:
Hence why I said "usually" following "your body will never be back to it's pre-pregnancy shape". Sure, a lot of women are smaller following the birth of a child, but many women have slightly wider hips, and "baby pooches" that can be seemingly impossible to get rid of. I didn't say it's impossible.
^^Not true. Many women I know that have kids look exactly the way they did before, if not better!
But I know how you feel. I was 125-130 before I had my son 2 years ago. And I'm 155 now.
Cardio, Cardio, Cardio.
Sweat your butt off.
I'm working out 2 times daily, once in the morning, and once at night before bed.
And eating 1200 calories a day.
No pop, no junk food.
If you're only getting 800 calories a day, that might be why you're not losing. Your body might be storing fat because its in starvation mode.
Try upping your calories to 1000-1200, and see if that helps.
If not, try adding more cardio.
