Hi all, I'm 40 and had my first baby in 2020 by c-section. I've got 2.5 stone to lose ideally, or 2stone to begin with, but I had to wait for 6 months before starting strenuous exercises.
I've successfully lost weight in the past in my late 30's through low calorie, low carb, high protein, and strength /resistance training. However, this time it's not working!! The same method that lost me 2 stone aged 38 has achieved a grand total of 2lbs loss in the whole of January. For context all month I had a net of 1200-1300 calories per day, 5 strength and HIIT workouts per week plus an hours walk with the buggy. Zero sugar and loads of veg. It's a bit disheartening and demotivating as I thought I was doing really well!!
No doubt it's a combination of being 40+ and the baby weight.
Any tips on what else I can try? Has anyone out there succeeded in losing baby weight after age 40??
