Not losing weight

I wouldn't get discouraged quite yet. You will have to gain some muscle before you lose the last bit of fat. Also, your weight will vary by a few pounds daily because of water weight, etc. One thing you could try is cycling. I was reading an article about it online and they mentioned a lot of people find it will burn off those last few pounds they just can't seem to lose. Mainly because you use your muscles the whole time, pushing and pulling the pedals. Not sure if it will help you, but definitely worth trying! Stick with it- you can do it!

Try adding a little strength training to your routine. Building muscle will help your body burn more calories and it helps to tone so even if you don't lose weight you still lose inches. Doesn't have to be a lot just slip it into your usual cardio. A lot of times we get into a rut doing the same workout and our body gets used to it and there is no longer a challenge to our muscles.So change it up a bit and try something new, besides its fun to try a new class or activity.

Is there a chance that the BLT's are killing your diet? BLT's are the Bites, Licks, Tastes that a dieter puts in their mouth while making dinner, or getting their kids dinner. You know....I put some chips in a bowl for my girls and taste just one. Or I'm cutting up thier yummy, rich, full-fat dinner and I take just one bite before I eat my salad.

Years ago, when I was doing Weight Watchers, the leader challenged us to put our BLT's in a ziploc bag instead of eating them. At the end of the day, you'd be surprised at the number of calories in that bag. When you are just starting to diet, the BLT's are a great way to taste just one bit to satisfy an urge, but when you are down to your last few pounds they can really kill your diet.

Hang in there...I'm in a very similar situation, and it's tough not to be discouraged by the slow progress. I've only lost three pounds and have been following my progress for almost ten weeks (I haven't been quite as good as you have with my calorie counts). What I've experienced is that when you don't have a significant amount of weight to lose, and you don't have lifestyle changes that make major calorie impacts, your body reacts differently. I know for me, I already exercised moderately and followed a fairly clean eating program before I consciously decided to be more focused on losing the ten pounds I've gained in the past year and a half. I didn't have easy things to cut out every day like sodas or junk food or alcohol, and I was already exercising as much as my schedule allowed. I've found that it's a tough balance between eating enough calories from keeping my metabolism from thinking my body is starving, but also staying low enough to create that calorie deficit I need to lose pounds. I keep comparing myself to my girlfriend who has lost seven pounds in two weeks - but she was drinking alcohol, making poor food choices, and not exercising at all. So when she tweaked her routine, it made a more significant impact. I keep reminding myself that my weight gain was incremental, and taking it off is going to be the same. You ARE making progress, and you have a new baby to be very proud of...don't put too much of an expectation on losing last few pounds quickly - and maybe try only weighing yourself once a week so the daily fluctuations don't discourage you. Those jeans will be back on you by the end of January! Good luck!

I myself am not there, but i have a friend who was in a very similar situation, trying to get rid of the last few pounds. I don't know when you had the baby, but your bone structure changes a lot. It could take up to a year for your bones to go back to where they were. Aside for that sometimes the type of foods can effect the last few pounds coming off. Those pounds are stubborn. They demand quality foods like organics, and things high in nutrition. Hang in there you will do great Good luck!
