8 weeks postpartum - no weight loss. Help!

How are you measuring the amount of wine(a measured cup is different than a glass)? What kind of wine is it(some wines can be very high in sugar)? When counting calories if you are having difficulty loosing weight it is because you either overestimated your calories burned or underestimated calories eaten. When I stopped guesstimating and started measuring everything not only did I improve my weightless by 50% but I was within 10% of my projected weightloss goal(I actually lost a bit more than I expected because I would intentionally over estimate portions).

Hi! I'm nearly 10 weeks post partum with baby no.3.

I haven't actually weighed myself, and I didn't weigh myself in pregnancy either, but judging by clothes and the mirror I reckon I have to lose about 30lbs now. I have measured though and I don't appear to have lost a lot, despite being back at the gym for 3 weeks and tracking calories on here for 7 weeks, and walking every day.

Everyone assures me that they noticed a big difference at about 12 weeks post partum, so I'm hoping that will be true!

I did lose a lot of weight after my 2nd, but she's 3 now and I don't remember when it first started to come off. I do remember being disappointed though. I had personal training sessions from 8 weeks post partum with her and got weighed and measured every 4 weeks, and after the first 4 weeks of 1200 calories and gym 5 times a week, I lost about 2lbs. I nearly cried! I did lose a Lot of inches though. Over about 18 months I lost 66lbs though and really changed my body, so it did happen in the end. I actually found increasing my calories helped.

Now I have a 3 and 5 year old too, and my eldest is at school so I do a lot of walking to and from school, plus I take my 3 year old out pretty much every day. I'm doing 5 gym sessions/classes (spinning, Zumba, aerobics, step) a week and eating 1660 calories a day. I'm still partially breastfeeding - unable to do it exclusively due to my baby losing too much weight (this has happened with all three).

I also asked my doctor about thyroid issues, firstly because of the breastfeeding, and secondly because I gained a lot in pregnancy and I don't know why. She said they check your thyroid when they do bloods at 12 and 28 weeks, so it would've been flagged up if I had an issue.

I think it just takes time for your hormones to sort themselves out, and we probably still retain some water too. I know from my previous two that the weight loss is possible, but it just takes time and patience.

Are you weighing all foods and measuring all liquids? I started MFP to lose the weight I gained from eating over my TDEE during my second pregnancy, and even with exercise, I lost 0 lbs for about 7 weeks. I didn't start to see a shift in weight until I started weighing/measuring my food and eating within my calorie goal (plus exercise, because MFP uses the NEAT method). Once I started doing that I lost 1-1.5 lbs per week, and our stats are similar (5'7", started at 180 lbs).

I have a local fesh meal delivery company preparing and measuring my meals so that isn't an issue. Maybe hormones?? I'm lost. We are similar. How much have you lost and how long is it taking you?

Just a point - while fresh is awesome from a health point of view, it doesn't mean automatic weight loss. Same with the Paleo diet. A lot of Paleo foods are very calorie dense. Being slightly off in measuring could result in extra calories very easily.
Like I said, if you trust them, then carry on. I also understand you probably aren't in a position to start prepping all the food yourself.
But my first thought would be a possible error on their end, not even intentionally.

Since you're just getting started in the food prepping - get in the habit of the toddler eating the same foods you eat. (Different portions of course.) I never understood the theory behind feeding kids 'kid food' and making different food for the adults. Teaches the kids to avoid variety, and makes more work for the parents! There is a downside though. My 12, 14, 16 year old likes steak, salmon, shrimp, etc. And my 12 year old finished off my garden veggies yesterday without letting me know we were out of cucumbers.

Yes, this. My 3 and 5 year old eat the same meals we do. I have those two and my newborn and my husband works shifts, so it's just me and them 5 evenings in a row every fortnight, and I still cook. I just do easy stuff like chicken or fish and veg, or a jacket potato and tuna. I sometimes make a meal like spaghetti bolognaise at the weekend and save some so all I need to do is cook

some pasta. In the winter I do things like shepherds pie and stew and usually get 3 days worth of meals out of those.

My 3 year old likes everything. She used to steal my Graze snacks. She likes to eat apple and peanut butter. They eat quinoa, nuts, veggies, fruit etc.
