I'm currently breastfeeding my one year old and trying to lose weight. I have about 4 stone to lose. I've been trying for about 6 weeks (12-1400 calories per day, running 5x week and kettlebells 3x week). I cant shift it...I thought I'd lost a couple of pounds but they seem to have just come back on.
I know others have struggled with being unable those while breastfeeding and apart from stopping breastfeeding I was wondering if anyone has found anything that has helped them? I was thinking of asking the doctor if they can prescribe Alli or another weightloss aid but im not sure if this is possible while breastfeeding. I really dont want to stop feeding yet as my LO cant drink cows milk. Meanwhile my weight is really getting me down, I have no self confidence and feel like a big lump of lard.
(please dont comment to suggest i lower my calories further - as i said i am quite considerably overweight and my current intake should be putting me at a good deficit, even before doing any exercise)
Thanks
