I'm 5'6 and I lost 66lbs after my 2nd baby, and now I'm losing after my third, I've got maybe 25 to go now.
What worked for me...
- eating a proper amount, not 1200. I eat 1500-1600
- Aiming for high protein
- Being very active (no choice with 3 young kids lol). We go out a lot, for lots of walks.
- Exercising a lot. I'm at the gym every day some weeks.
- Strength training. Lots of lifting, squats, lunges etc has changed my body for the better. Eating properly means I have the energy for these workouts.
- Still allowing myself 'treats'.
- Taking measurements, and going by old clothes. The scale doesn't always reflect weight loss as well as the tape measure.0
