I just joined this site a week ago, but i’ve been working out for about a month now! I just had a baby 5 months ago and i’m breastfeeding. I weight 149 now and i’m 5"2. I weighted 125 before i had the baby. I eat 3 healthy meals a day and one snack. I"ve cut out all sugar, sweets, junk, etc. I work out 4-5 days a week. When i first joined this i went down to 147 and now i’m at 149 again. It seems like if i don’t workout everyday, i gain a couple pounds back. What advice do you have for losing the weight! i really want to start dropping the pounds, thanks:) |

Hi! Your situation sounds a lot like mine (except that you’re doing much better!) I just had my second child 3 months ago and am also breastfeeding. I’m hungry all the time! I’ve not been very good about getting my diet under control, so I’m at 171lbs :( At 5"3’ that basically means I’m a mess. I wish I had some advice for you, but it sounds like you’re doing everything right. How long have you been cutting out sugar/junk food, etc? I would think that alone would make a big difference, but I suppose it depends on how long. It may take a month or longer to see results. This is probably a dumb question since you’re breastfeeding, but are you drinking enough water? Also, how is your carb count? Maybe you need to bump up your protein intake. I didn’t realize until recently that eating lots of fresh fruit can make your carb count sky rocket, so maybe you need to watch that. Sorry I can’t be more helpful, but I thought I’d reply since I truly understand what you’re going through! |

What are you ladies doing for workouts? You’re right, abs are made in the kitchen so you need to monitor your food. Just keep in mind that exercise burns the fat! You also need to be careful with breastfeeding so that the baby gets enough nutrients as well! =) I eat every 3 hours, but its always small things. This keeps my metabolism in check. |

Food Journal Food Scale Reduce Calories It’s simple. I didn’t say, “easy.” But, it is simple. |

I agree with HappyMommy. I also suggest you to carry on exercise and bring lots of food in your diet. Please be careful that you are not compromising with your breast feeding. |

Weigh in at the identical time of day if you can to minimize variables. Don’t just proceed by your heaviness, take measurements of your arms, chest(under bust line), waist, hips and thighs to get a better Idea of where your heaviness decrease is at. |

Good diet plan. If you have time, do more cardio exercise like running, cycling, swimming, walking! |

I just started on Dr. Fuhrman’s “Eat to Live” Diet and I love it. It’s easy to do and actually quite cheap also. You eat mainly fruits, vegetables and beans. I supplement with a protein shake with soy milk after my workouts. I usually feel weak on a diet, but not on this one. I can always tell if I get tired during my 7 mile run. I felt really energetic on my run on this diet, so it works well for me and I can stick to it in the long run. |

There is lot’s of way to reduce weight mentioned here but you have to choose which one is best for you and what you can perform daily. This is slow and steady process so you need to keep patience and follow your daily routine., this will defiantly help you a lot. |
