So I'm 11 weeks post partum and still have 17lbs to shed. I calorie count properly by weighing each ingredient, and I'm highly active, and exercise 6 days a week with high intensity. Yet I still can't shift the pounds! What am I doing wrong?

    I'm not an expert by any means but I would try to change things up...your body may be doing the same thing over and over. Our bodies are very smart so we have to trick it by during something different. Example, if you run try swimming, or running up/down stairs or yoga, just do something different. Maybe change your eating just to confuse your body a little more then once you notice a change go back to your usual routine. Hope it helps but be safe...little mommy.

    Hi , loosing weight is not something easy and at the same time is not difficult .. But loosing so many Lbs in a short time is not recommended.
    In your case you are not loosing weight maybe because body is transforming your body fat to muscles cause you exercise regularly so you wouldn't notice it right away ... But you may already noticed some changes in your body shape .. Is becoming for muscular , that is what happened to me when I start to loose weight and working out at the same time. I recommend that you keep going and maybe try to switch from some carbo to protein on your diet and you will achieve your goal.

    I can help you by stealing all of your food and chasing you every where with a big stick so you run a lot?

    If you're not losing weight, the usual reason for this is you're eating more than you need to. But I don't know how much you're eating and I am no nutritionist so I can't say for sure you should be eating less. You need to open up your diary to public viewing if you want proper advice on here.

    it's all about what you eat, not about exercising or switching it up, or HIIT or strength or cardio.

    So exercise has nothing to do with weight loss?

    It is hard to know without seeing your diary. I would say that it is more likely you are eating to many calories. Having your diary open will help determine what your problem is.
