PP baby weight

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
It has now been 6 months since ive had my LO and i still cant seem to lose the last 10lbs of my baby weight...Ive tried everything! Has anyone else had this much trouble? Any suggestions? Within the first 2 months I was able to drop over 40lbs of my pregnancy weight...but im starting to become a little self conscious when I see other new moms that look like they just got off the runway and are only a few months PP. Why is it so hard to lose the last few pounds?

    Your metabolism probably has adjusted for the extra poundage...all i can suggest is a little extra cardio or some strength training. I did paleo for a little which helped but after I got to PP weight i had to stop because i was too tired during my workouts

    I actually lost all the pregnancy weight in the first 2 months after giving birth but since being back to work have put 10 lbs back on.  I know it's because I'm not eating the healthiest and I need to work out.  Funny, 10 years ago if I was a few pounds overweight I could stick to a diet for 2 weeks and be back in my skinny jeans.  Now I have no energy or willpower.  I do need to start working out though because lifting DD in her carseat is exhausting.

    I've lost over 65 lbs of "baby" weight (I just got fat).  I'd like to drop another 6-7 lbs to be back where I was, but I'm ok with the way I am now.  I joined WW, and it really helped me drop weight quickly.  I'm still breastfeeding, and there's a setting that will adjust your points to accomodate the extra calories.

    Thank you for all your help everyone!  I stopped BFing when my LO was a month and a half because I just wasnt producing enough for her. Im going to look into trying out WW, maybe that'll help me lose the last of this extra poundage haha. thanks again

    I am embracing my new curves. Before I was pregnant I weighed 110lbs. I was weighing in at just under 200lbs went I went into labor, (I was VERY sick). I lost 35 ponds in the first 7 days PP. I now weigh in at 140. I know that I could maybe afford to lose a few pounds, but for now I am enjoying it. I have never had any curves and my husband loves it.
