TTC after 35

Weight loss win (DS #1 mentioned). Not TTC related in any way.

DS#1 turned 1 a week ago. I've been struggling to lose the baby weight. I've been working with a personal trainer and following a breast-feeding approved version of a paleo diet. And slowly, very slowly, the weight came off over the last 6 months. I'm back to my pre-baby weight, but my clothes still don't fit right. My training is now online. The trainer emails me workouts every week and I do them whenever I can fit them into my schedule. I just switched to the online training 5 weeks ago. During the first 2 weeks, the weight kept coming off. WIN! Then I weaned the baby and gained all the weight back, PLUS a few more pounds for extra measure. Bummer.

I went in today to see the trainer for my weigh-in and was ready to apologize and say I didn't know what happened, unless it was the weaning thing. I've been working out more and eating the same way as the previous 6 months. Then he did measurements. Lo and behold, even though my weight is up, it is ALL muscle. My body fat is down 5% and lean muscle mass is up 12%. And I've lost a bunch of inches! Hooray!!

It's been a long week. I needed this win to keep me going.

    Losing 6lbs in 6 days is not healthy. You will have that 6 lbs back as soon as you stop this "program". Op lost weight the healthy way through diet and excercise. Do not push your diet pills or whatever your link is for here. @BumpJackie‌ I think we got some spam here!!!!!
