    It sounds like you are not eating enough.  Your body needs food to work properly and without it your body will take the little bit of nourishment that you are giving it and store it as fat.

    I noticed that my PP weight loss had stalled when I really cut my calories.  Once I started eating more - healthy foods, of course - I found that the last of my pregnancy weight melted away. 

    That may not work for everyone, but that is what stood out to me when I read your post.

    ditto the pp

    you needc to eat smaller meals more often rather than biggerv meals less frequently. your metabolism will conk out if you eat 1-2x a day.

    Eat more throughout the day, try to get some protein and fiber in each meal. Also, it can be discouraging because the first part falls off, and then the rest takes a while. But I gained 41 pounds this last time and it was all off by 5 months.
