I gained 34lbs during my pregnancy & only lost 17lbs after giving birth. I lost not a single pound breast feeding, but I was not dieting at all either. My daughter is almost 3. I didn't try to start losing weight til she was 2. I workout everyday from home using wwww.fitnessblender.com or YouTube Jillian michaels workouts. I also track my calories on the app. It really comes down to eating at a deficit. Good luck!
