Weight Anxiety

in January 2013 Moms
I speed walk every day (with DS in a stroller) for 1 1/2 hours (roughly 3-3.5 miles) the majority at an incline.  I do ab exercises every day for 30 minutes and I eat healthy and do I lose weight NO! Not a single freaking pound in over a month!!  I get that I am an older mom and "weight is harder to lose when you get older" but for crying out loud!!  UGH.  I do EBF too.  I am returning to a gym tomorrow and am quite nervous about the daycare there but I am so freaking frustrated.  Sorry and thank you for letting me vent!

    I know the frustration.

    I have heard that some moms dont lose weight until they are done ebf.

    I wish I had your motivation. I need to get moving a bit more.

    There are certain areas stored during nursing. Stomach and thighs from what I remember. Don't bear yourself up. It's been three months for crying out loud. It took you nine to gain it! Speak with a nutritionist or personal trainer with a degree boot a teenager at LA Fitness. They'll tell you the same, it takes time.

    With my first I didn't lose it until he weaned. Seems to be going the same way this time. Frustrating but normal! I feel so fluffy... But feeding this guy is more important!

    I didn't lose any weight with DD1. I'm as dumping after I weaned at 5 months I would have lost it, but I got pregnant again. So yeah.... But I know it sucks and I'm sorry your so frustrated.

    IT is frustrating. I have to really count my calories in order to lose. I BF DD1 until 15 months and it came off really slowly in the first 6 months, then it was easier to lose after that. When I weaned I gained weight right away.

    Make sure you're eating enough or your body will hold onto every calorie/pound
