Brestfeeding and Weight Loss

poustotah

I had a baby last June and I've been breastfeeding her ever since. My current weight is 175 and I pretty much stay there. I can eat tacos and burgers and french fries and I'll still be 175. I can eat chicken breast and salad and health foods and I'll still be 175. So I opt for the good stuff so I don't die of a heart attack or something equally as bad. I workout 5 days a week. I lift - a lot 3 days a week and I do intense cardio the other 2 days. I'm no losing any inches either. So my question is could the lack of weight loss be due to the breastfeeding or is this just a plateau that I'll have to get over sometime? I've been at this weight for about 2 months now. I'd like to lose about 25 more lbs.

It's possible that your weight is being determined by caloric balance, rather than the names of the foods that you eat.

Well yeah, I eat my calories. I have my goals set to lose 1 lb a week. So I'm not sure what's goin on.
