Weight loss

Anyobe struggling to lose the last 10-15 lbs while breastfeeding? I exercise (fairly regularly) and eat pretty healthy. It's so frustrating!!!

    Yes, but now that I have cut back to only nursing about once/day I am only 2-3 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight.  But the frustrating thing for me is that my stomach still looks big/pregnant!!!  I must have lost so much muscle tone. :(  Hang in there and know that once you cut back the last 10-15 pounds comes off pretty easily.  I seriously need to find some good ab exercises though.

    My baby is 5 weeks and I am so exhausted and hungry I cannot lose weight. I lost all but 15 pounds right after delivery and the scale won't budge. My baby starts three half days at day care in a week because of school and I'll be able to work out those days!! Please God let me get back to my body (mostly) by summer! I'm going to Florida in June!

    My LO is almost a year old and still nursing often. I only have 5 more pounds to lose to get back to my prebaby weight and I'm stuck. I have tried everything.

    Last time around I didn't lose the last 10lbs till after I stopped bfing. Then it literally melted off within 2 weeks.
    Expecting the same this time. I have 20 to go to get to pre preg weight. The shape if my body is another thing. Not sure I'll get that back...
