These last 10lbs...lets talk

I am 10lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight.  I am eating pretty clean and only drinking water.  Am I just holding on to this last little bit because I am breastfeeding? Or do I need to cut some more and up my workouts to get the rest off? Or will it come off once I am finished BFing?

I am back in most of my clothes but feel like I have this layer of fat over my entire body still.  I started my C25K program back up (I was walking previously) but only on Wk 1 Day 2.

    There is a really good chance it's because you are BF.  Gotta love when your body prepares for possible starvation.

    I didn't lose the last 12 with Amelia until I weaned...I'm still hanging on to WAY too much of it since having Juliet. Praying that it comes off SOON!!!

    I can't remember how old your LO is - but I felt like I didn't get back to what weight I thought I should be at until around 6 months PP.  Even then, I slimmed a little bit more for 6 months after that - and eventually didn't feel like I had that "layer" on my anymore.

    Other than the weight I lost in the hospital, I didn't lose any weight with DS#1 until after he weaned. But then I was pg a few months later so I didn't get back where I wanted to be; I was still 7lbs up from pre-pregnant weight. This time I lost from the hospital all of this pregnancy's weight and then another 10 so I am back at pre-pregnant with #1 weight but with that great layer of fat feeling. I haven't given it a great try to lose this time around, but I'm hoping that after I wean i will get the rest of the fat off.

    oh gosh, me too.  I still have 12 to go and my clothes do not fit.  I just started back to work yesterday and very depressingly put on some maternity pants.  I bought a few things in my new size but didn't want to buy too much.  DC number 1 came off quicker because I walked so much during maternity leave. DS was born in the middle of summer so I didn't go out as much.
