Hey all
How have other moms dealt with the weight loss plateau? I gained 30 lbs with my pregnancy and got up to 192lbs, 5ft 8 inches. I was 175 lbs by three weeks post partum and the scale hasn't changed regardless of diet or exercise. My shape has slimmed a bit but the weight is stuck at 175. I just stopped breastfeeding yesterday (really rough go with low milk supply and feeding issues). My baby is 4.5 months old. Any suggestions? For any moms that stopped breastfeeding, how long did it take to lose weight after that?

I had my daughter in March and breastfed. I unfortunately had to stop breastfeeding when I lost my daughter at 1 month. I had just lost 2 stone before I became pregnant by fasting 2 days a week. (500-700 cal's 2 days a week). I put this and a little more back on in pregnancy but still had a lot to lose. I definitely find it harder to lose from my belly!0
