9 weeks postpartum need advice & encouragement to lose weight

rks2013

Hey everyone,

I am looking for advice and encouragement.
I am 9 weeks postpartum with second baby.
Prepregnancy weight was 126lb and now I am 140lbs I haven’t lost any weight.
I am currently breastfeeding, baby is continuously on the breast during the day I hardly get a break in the day and she does not nap in the day so exercise has been hard to do I have tried with her but she is hysterical when I take her out.
I have been eating healthy for a month vegetables / fruit no junk at all and I haven’t lost any weight.
I am so repulsed with the way I look
anyone who has been through this can share their journey or anyone with advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance

You're 9 weeks out from a journey that took 9 months, complete with a brand new, high-maintenance accessory (yes I know babies aren't accessories, but they can feel like it when they're glued to you 24/7).

Once your milk supply is established, keep a watch on how your calorie adjustments affect it. Some women can't sustain both a deficit and their supply; others can. If the weather is nice where you are, go for a walk either wearing the baby or with her in a stroller if she'll tolerate it. The newborn phase doesn't last forever. You'll be able to do more when she's a bit older.

Most importantly, don't hate your body for the changes it has endured. Hugs!

Welcome to the community!

If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

Good luck with your journey!

Go enjoy your baby. Its good you’re ready to get yourself back to your pre baby weight but allow yourself to heal.
