Breastfeeding mums- how did you lose the weight?

[jimjamjoo]

I'm still breastfeeding my third. I have been pregnant or nursing constantly for the past 6 years and have a horrible c section overhang and huge tummy. I need to find the motivation to shift a few stones but I just cannot be bothered. I have just given up. I so worn down by motherhood and all that comes with it that I've let myself go and I'm so gross, unfit and unattractive. I know I need to change but I don't even know where to start. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Just the usual stuff - eat proper meals, don’t snack on rubbish, walk everywhere, find some exercise you really love and do it 3 x a week. Having a baby doesn’t need to make you feel like this. But you have to want to do it.

I was always told BF was good for losing the baby weight but not in all cases! Not being a downer but i really struggled to lose weight when breastfeeding! it was like no matter what i did , hormones cling on to the flab ( and i did natural term weaning so that was a few years) After that I lost loads with v little effort!.

My point is- don't be hard on yourself! Even doing all the right things , it might take a while
