Hi all,
so for a bit of background before I fell pregnant I was overweight at 5 foot 4 and 11 and a half stone. I ended up losing weight and when I fell pregnant was just under 9 stone.
I found losing the weight quite easy but only because I was very strict with calorie counting and walking a lot.
Straight after I had my baby I weighed 10 stone 5lbs (almost 4 months ago) and I have gone right back to the same eating habits that I had when losing weight - calorie counting and lots of walking (I’m actually walking a lot more now with the pram and average around 16-20k steps a day) but the weight is coming off sooooo slowly it’s extremely frustrating! Before pregnancy when I was losing weight the weight was coming off very quickly.
Im now 9 stone 13lbs so have only lost 6lbs in almost 4 months. I’m not really sure what else I can do!
Not sure if it matters but I was combi feeding but mostly formula fed now. I also still haven’t had a period.
Is it normal for weight loss to be so stubborn post partum? I know I’m doing all the right things because I’m doing exactly what I did when I manned to lose significant weight prior to pregnancy.
Any advice welcome!
