What type of workout class uses babies as resistance?

I saw a show that showed mothers doing a type of pilates(?) where the mothers would lift their babies above them while they were laying down and using them as weights. What type of class is this and where can I find one in Las Vegas?

How Long Will It Take To Start Losing Weight?

I am a female, 23 years old, and need to lose 70 lbs. I have been on a diet for about two and a half weeks now. I walk 3.0 miles in one hour per day on a tred mill, do leg streches, about 100 crunches, and lift five pount weights every other day 50 times per arm. I also do some pilates. I drink about 6 bottles of water a day, and limit my meals to a cup os cereal and dinner, which conists of protein foods, low startch/no carbohydrates, and only one small serving. I feel that I am more muscular (i deffinately have more muscle in my arms and legs now), but the scale is still reading the same. When will I start to lose poundage/fat?

Do pilates help you lose weight or do they just tone your body?

I walk/jog or do a cardio workout for 40 -45 minutes 5 times a week. I also do callisthenics with a little bit of light weight training for about 20 minutes 5 times a week. Now, I am wanting to incorporate pilates into my weekly routine. I plan on switching off with callisthenics/weights and pilates every other day. Will pilates help me lose weight or will they just help me tone my body? Also, I am a beginner with pilates, is there anything I need to know before I start? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
