Help to lose baby fat 9 weeks postpartum

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

9 weeks is SO QUICK. You're still healing, your body is still sorting itself out, and you are LITERALLY producing food for another human being. Your body put that weight on over 9 months, don't beat yourself up that you haven't lost it. Sounds like you have a lot going on already with two kids, keeping up with nursing, and starting to eat healthier. Don't try to take on too much all at once! I know it's hard to not feel like yourself, but I'd be willing to bet you are not repulsive.

Also, a month is still pretty fast to see weight loss when so much else is going on in your body. If eating primarily fruit/veggies is making you feel good, then keep it up. But don't get discouraged based on a number on the scale.

As for my journey, I have one baby who just turned two. I was 60 pounds heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight when I gave birth. At 9 weeks, I was probably +40 pounds. 15 of that came off over the first year (when I was exclusively breast feeding), without too much trying. The remaining 25 I have worked on for the last year, and I just recently got below my pre-pregnancy weight.
