When will I lose this weight?

I got weighed at the doctor's today and found I gained three pounds since July. I broke down in tears, I've been working out, breastfeeding full time and just want to feel good and wear my old clothes again! Has anyone struggled to lose weight? Any advice?

    Yes! I can't shed the last 10 lbs for the 7 weeks. I BF full time as well and don't go to the gym but get out for walks with LO. But the last 10 just doesn't want to shed. I'm thinking about going tot he gym to take fitness classes soon and maybe that will help a bit. No advice but I know how you feel.

    Here!! I am having horrible selfimage issues I miss my old body. I take LO on walks everyday and have been eating well. These last 15 lbs for me have been h3ll! I was under weight before I got pregnant so my doctor states I should have a new goal... Not to be that small again. Ugh fine.

    Same here...this may just be my new "regular" weight b/c it just hasn't budged! Really bums me out since I still can't wear most of my prepregnancy clothes =

    Still have 12 lbs to lose. I've been going to the gym a couple times a week & trying to eat well. I EBF too. I know the whole "9 months on, 9 months off" saying is probably correct, but I'd like to be back to pre-pregnancy weight before the holidays!

    I'm struggling too. :(

    Granted I was never small to begin with but I had lost 35 lbs prior to getting pg. I used My Fitness Pal. It's a free app on the iphone. You use it to track your calories and it's so easy to use. I highly recommend it.

    I just started using it again the beginning of this week. Hopefully it helps me lose the weight. I also try to go for a walk every day with DS if the weather is good.

    With my son I lost all my pregnancy weight plus 30 lbs by 16 months pp.  I didn't work out either.

    You may not be able to lose the rest of the weight until you wean.  I lost quite a bit up front postpartum with my daughter, but for the life of me could not lose any additional weight after that as long as I was nursing.  Keeping my milk supply was more important to me than the number on the scale, though.  This time, I kept dropping weight like crazy until a few weeks ago and now I'm at a plateau I'll be fine with until DS weans.  It can be different for each women and different for you after each pregnancy.

    Yes. I am still up 15 lbs. I have been running miles on my lunch at work everyday, switching it up with 30 day shred & eliptical. Nothing is working. I was even asked if I was pregnant yesterday :( I have heard that many women cannot lose weight while nursing despite past beliefs and this seems to be the case for me.

    And here I thought nursing helped us lose weight! Thanks for the kind words girls, this stuff sure is frustrating!
