I have been really trying to lose about 7-10lb over the past couple of months but I'm getting so frustrated at the slow progress. I have had four pregnancies in 6 years, and have lost weight in between, but always gain about 3 stone by the end of pregnancy. I have recently stopped breastfeeding out youngest baby and I'm really keen to get rid of the extra flab. I have been running most days (14,000 steps on average), have cut out a huge amount of rubbish and am now having a small yoghurt and fruit for breakfast, a bowl of soup and a piece of sourdough bread for lunch, something like stir fry for supper and then 2 bits of dark chocolate. Snacking is either fruit or one or two slices of cheese (over the day). I'm keeping calorie intake approx 1,500 kcal. My pre pregnancy weight is 9st 8lb, I'm currently about 10st 7. I have a small frame and the weight is really noticeable. Previously I have lost weight easily. What can I do? Any tips? Cannot do anything too extreme as I have 4 small children to care for, just a want to get rid of it and move on!! Thanks
