Is it just me??? Im stuck...

[AmyMarie55]

11 months ago I had a baby boy. Before getting pregnant I was 130lbs during my pregnancy I went up to 204lbs.. I am not at 160-165lbs... I eat right, I consume the right amount of calories and take vitimans. I go for runs every day and work out to a dvd for 45min every day or every second day.. I am stuck at 165lbs.... I dont know what else to do.. I have 30lbs on me and I want it off.. has anyone had the same problem.... and how did u fix it?... I am doing everything right.. and have been for months on end.. and I havent lost a pound and yes I know muscle weighs more then fat but I havent lost any fat and I need too!!!!!!!!!

I know how you feel my baby just turned 13 months and i am 5feet 3 inches i was 130 pounds before pregnancy as well and the day before giving birth by c-section i was 208 i was on bedrest during most of the pregnancy anyway I now weigh 145  and am having the hardest time loosing the last 15 pounds I work out and watch what i eat and it seems like no matter what it just stays the same it is so frustrating .

Thanks for your sweet response... I never regret having my lil man... but these 30lbs seem to run my life.. I cant wear anything i like.. I dont feel beautiful. I am thnking of having a tummy tuck.. to get rid of the loose skin and stretch marks... thinking its worth looking at/

No problem. If you need anything even if it's just an ear let me know.
P.S. checked out your pictures & you kids are tooooo cute.
Just remeber your body made that little guy so don't give yourself too hard of a time over the pounds your trying to lose.

Not to be too personal but are you still lactating.  I had a hard time losing with my 2nd child.  Still working on it (5 years later LOL).  I could only get too a certain point until about 18 months after he was born.  I think my body's hormones finally settled & when I stopped lactating my body let go of some of the weight.  They say it takes a women 1 year for the body to recover & 5 years to get back all the nutrients lost during pregnacy & nursing. Your body may still be trying to get back what it lost.   Keep eating right & building the lean muscle & the fat will come off.

The exercise tracker & food tracker really help.
