10 kg is too much to lose in less than 2 months. Safe weight loss is 1-2 lbs/week, which is only 0.45 - 0.90 kg. While you can lose more than that, you can't necessarily do it safely and it might not be fat; you may end up losing all water or muscle.
Even at that, this would be a good time to start your weight loss journey, and make it a lifestyle change that you can live with from now on, so you'll always be ready for whatever comes up... We can help you with that, if you like.

Has me logging my daily foods I just need help with a healthy diet menu? & also is the lemonade, maple syrup, and Cheyenne pepper diet safe, if done once or twice daily just curious.
If you were my patient, I would advise you that purposefully losing weight while you are pregnant is not recommended. That is not to say however, that you must gain. In fact, for overweight to obese patients, gaining as little as 10lb for the entire pregnancy is an excellent goal. Similarly, we don't recommend suddenly beginning a new intense exercise program.
Losing 40 pounds in 2 months is pretty much not going to happen, even if you starve.
You need to stop and think about what you're doing. Losing weight by any means, other than healthy lifestyle changes will only temporary and will actually put more stress on your heart than it's under now.

Hey all! I'm still nursing my 15 month old about 4-5 times a day, I am about 5 weeks pregnant and I feel extremely drained/fatigued! I never felt this tired with my first. Anyone have any advice or know of a good way to boost energy safely? I'm drinking lots of water and trying to eat a good balanced diet and going strong on the protein. But still want to sleep all day. Any advice??
Eat well ( organic helps-- look for healthy recipes, they don't have to taste bad to be healthy!)
Exercise often (at least 3 times a week)
Drink lots of water
Treat yourself occasionally
Research (I recommend the documentaries Clean, Sugar and Food INc as they provide insight into the food industry)
Find a community ( this helps encourage/ support and motivate)
Don't think of it as weight loss, think of it as a lifestyle change (this will help you get healthy and maintain any changes!
When I was going to college, I took a workout class that was actually ROTCs pt class. The group encouragement was amazing!! Try looking into group classes offered by your gym or get a friend with similar goals. The buddy system is such a motivatior. Good luck!
A good dietary regime and exercises all will be helpful in losing weight. Losing weight in a healthy way is important for maintaining the glow of your skin. Eat lots of fruits, dark green leafy vegetables, fruits and consume less of potato, sweetened and processed foods. Start your day by drinking lemon juice in warm water. Have fruits with lots of vitamin C in breakfast that will help you cut fats as vitamin C is a fat burner. Exercise daily for 30-40 minutes like walking or aerobic exercise.
I agree with grannieannie -- don't take phentermine while nursing........ in fact, I doubt seriously that you will even be able to find a reputable doctor who will prescribe it, since you are breastfeeding.
You say you are counting calories, so I have to ask what types of food you are eating. You need to eat foods that take longest to break down in the body -- lean protein, high fiber. The longer it takes your food to be digested, the longer you will fell full.
