Still working on that post baby weight. I stopped losing at 7 weeks post partum. Since July I've lost 3 lbs on average. I eat about 1300 cal a day, workout at least 3 times a week (hard to do when I work full time and have an infant). I know, 9 months on 9 months off. I need to lose 10 lbs. just venting. I've upped my veggies and am trying to up my water intake.

    Are you breastfeeding? If you are, you might not be getting enough calories - 1300 is pretty low for a breastfeeding mother.

    I lost 20 lb in a year, starting when my 2nd child was 5 months old. You can do it! I lost it in waves, taking breaks to practice maintaining.

    It took you 9 months to put on the weight, it will take you 9 months to lose it.

    I think I was around 6mo PP before I lost all the weight I'd gained (30lbs). I lost all but 6lbs 2weeks PP. I BF for 4 months as well.

    Now getting the body parts to get back to normal... that's another battle.

    Ditto, Just the same here! I was a size 10 now im a 14! If one more person says the 9 months to gain it 9 months to lose it I think Im gonna scream!!! I plan to start my mission today! Classes (im forcing myself) and healthy eating. Im just not buying junk unless its weightwatchers and I always have fresh fruit and veg for babys weaning so that makes it easy! think thin ....oh and watch things like embarrassing fat bodies lol that does the trick!
