anyone else frustrated w/weight loss?

I was 115 prepregnancy...got to 141 w/baby and now 127.5.  No matter how I eat I can't get any more weight off. Getting so frustrated. Been writing it all down...walking every day and nothing else.  Ughh..ok vent over

I was 155PP and 230 the day i went in to get induced, "DANNNG" right? lol Right now I'm at 185 and it's coming off slowly, give it time. try doing 60sec walking 30 sec running for 15-20 mins around a local school track or your neighborhood. those will get your heart pumping and help for sure.

i am! i went from 125 to 195 which was horrible. At least the first 2 weeks, I lost 30 because i swelled up like a balloon! now i am down to 159 and can't seem to drop any lower. im not really working out like i want to, but i have cut a lot of calories and dont eat a single piece of sugar. just remember we didnt gain it all overnight, so its going to take a while! i would love to be 127!

Yup - me too!  I gained 30 lbs and lost 15 of it in the first two weeks.  I'm 2 1/2 months out and I'm still struggling with the last 15 lbs.

It's so frustrating!  To be honest, I haven't made it back to the gym yet, but am pretty good about walking with the stroller about an hour a day.

Me too! It is so frustrating. I refuse to buy new clothes so I am wearing workout pants all the time or maternity pants. I have like 5 pp shirts that fit. I feel sloppy all the time, I hate it. I have 15 lbs to be somewhat okay, but really 20-25 to be myself!

Yes me too! I gained 31 lbs. and lost 21 by the first 2 weeks. I'm practically starving myself, and doing cardio 3-4 times/wk. and can't lose anything. As pp said--I refuse to buy new clothes too. DH makes fun of me for still wearing maternity pants, but shopping is depressing!

Oh and Tippy05--that pic is soooo cute!

SO You're only 1 month PP and you have 12.5 lbs to go? I'm just about 2 months out and still have 23 lbs to go!  I think you're doing great and I'm actually jealous!  Granted I gained more than you, started at 140 and and was up to 180... I lost 15 lbs in the 1st couple weeks without trying, but then it just stopped...even with exercising.  I was a size 8 PP and now I can barely fit in a 12!  I'm frustrated also, and started Weight Watchers online this week.  I did it in the past and it works.  Personally I think for me it's hormonal... with my last pregnancy I hit a planteau and well, and then it started coming off more once I got my 1st AF.

I was freaking out about this. My Aunts and Mom all laughed at me. They told me while breastfeeding the time where weightloss came very easy and fast was from 3-6 months.

I was all worried....I gained almost 60 pounds, but much was fluid at the end. 30 lbs flew off quickly, then I plateaued....I finally stopped weighing myself about 3 weeks ago. The past few days I felt thinner so I checked--I lost another 15. It's coming off quickly now!
