So, I had my first baby on 3/10/15. Had surgery 4/27/15. Lost from 300 pounds to 120 by April 27, 2016. Got pregnant April 2017 and delivered on December 6, 2018. I gained 30 pounds during pregnancy which is what my doctor wanted. I lost 10 pounds the first week but have been at a stand still since. I started back walking 2 -3 miles a day at 2 weeks after delivery. I started running at 6 weeks after. By 9 weeks out I was back at work, running 20 -30 miles a week, doing zumba for an hour a week, body pump 2 hours a week, and doing beach body on demand for about 2 to 3 hours a week (20 - 30 minutes a day). I was eating about 1600 to 1800 calories pre-pregnancy. During pregnancy I ate about 1400 since I was not able to exercise like I used to. I am eating 800 to 1200 calories now and doing all this exercise and still no loss. I am baffled. I do fit into my skinny jeans but not as good as before. I am not sure what else I can do to get this weight off. I have an appointment with my nutritionist and doctor scheduled. BTW, I am 40 so I know I won't "bounce back" like a 20 year old,but still. It's been 3 months since I delivered and NOTHING.
