having a hard time losing preggo weight

I know it has only been 4 weeks, but I'm already stuck. And I have ALOT to loose. My body packs them on when I'm preggo- 48lbs with DS#1 and 53lbs this time. WHen I got home from the hospital I had lost about 10lbs, then in the next week or so I lost another 10-12lbs. And I haven't lost a thing since, if anything I may have put on another pound. DH and I have started the Insanity workout DVD and I've been sweating my butt off, but it's not showing on the scale. I can't really diet per say because I'm BFing, but I'm trying not to eat like crap. We're going to Florida in June and I would love to lose as much as possible by then. Any suggestions?

Re: having a hard time losing preggo weight

Please don't be too hard on yourself. You're only 4 weeks PP. Your body is still recovering and will be for a while! You'll still be swollen and bloated, sore, exhausted. Give yourself some time.

I am 16 weeks PP and I gained about 45lbs during my pregnancy I am finally within 7 lbs of my pre preggo weight and 11 lbs of my lowest weight. It has taken a while (and a stomach flu) to get me to this point. I started with some pilates and as much walking as I could do.

Just be gentle and patient with yourself. If your BF try not to diet but just make smart choices with what you eat. I know it's hard but you can do it!! You will lose the weight!

same here.

I have lost a lot...then at 4.5 weeks, stopped.

worked hard last week, dropped 4.

this week, really hard, 1 pound.

my stomach and groin area are still all effed up, so only walking.

my baby has a milk/soy allergy, so i am eating so healthy.
