Hello!
I am the mother of an 18-month old boy and have been really struggling to lose the last 15 pounds of baby weight. I work out hard, both cardio and weight training, between 3-5 times per week for an hour at a time and have been focusing on eating whole unprocessed mostly vegan foods as much as possible, in reasonable amounts. It isn't working. I have not lost any weight in the past year of doing this. At any other time in my life this would have resulted in significant weight loss. I am now in the best shape of my life but I am heavier than ever and do not look fit. In fact, it seems that when I get really strict about my food intake, I actually gain weight. So, I am hoping that tracking on here will help me see if that is actually happening. I should mention that I still nurse my boy an average of 4-5 times per day. Anyway, I'm hopeful that this will work, and if any of you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it!
