My baby is 6 months old now
I'm 136 pounds now - 62kg and I need to get back to 115 pounds (around 52kg)
For the life of me I can't lose this weight - I have been the same weight since I left the hospital after a c-section and haven't dropped any since!
I do exercise - I was walking with baby as soon as possible after the c - section and then started running (interval training for 25 mins 3 x a week).
I now pole dance till exhaustion 3 x a week (I used to be an instructor so trying to get my strength back) and play netball once a week. I am also trying unsuccessfully to get my flexibility back with stretching at each workout.
Food-wise I probably have room for improvement but I don't think I am THAT bad to have not lost any weight at all!! I have a protein shake or museli for brekkie - fruit for morning tea (or no morning tea at all - am just so busy) Salad for lunch with chicken or pita bread with salad greens in them ... dinner is fish and vege or meat and vege and rice if I'm still feeling hungry. I drink about 1.5 lt of water a day as well. I drink alcohol once every 2 weeks
My partner has been on the same eating plan as me for the last month and has lost two belt sizes!
I'm just getting frustrated. I have been to get my thyroid checked and had other tests ... everything is fine except I have low blood pressure.
I have never had to worry about my weight before - I have always been small and just ate well-ish and exercised a few times a week - easy!!
I don't really have time to do anything too crazy i.e big long involved workouts with lots of different weights/exercises - but if anyone can shed some light on this situation I would very much appreciate it! Could it be just a hormonal thing and I'm just taking a bit longer to lose the extra pounds or do I totally need to change things?
Thanks!!!!!![]()
