    Take your time. You are trying to build new habits that will last a lifetime. When you try to lose too quickly you use methods you can't maintain. Also as we get older it takes a little more time and effort. Don't worry, you already showed yourself you can do it. I've lost 75 pounds but it took me a year and I'm 60 years old. If depression is an issue again this time don't discount getting some medical help. Lots of people deal with postpartum depression.

    I know exactly how you feel!! I lost all the baby weight quickly then gained it back. It's taken me several years to get it off and I'm still struggling with 10-15 lbs. These last 10-15 have been the hardest to lose. You can do this!!! You did it before and you can do it again !!
