I have breast feed diet exercised did weights cardio diet pills and everything you can think of. They teasted my thyroid and everything cant find anything wrong. I have tried everything in the book to lose my baby weight and yet it will not come off im still 185 lbs but im bounceing between 185 an 196.

I gained 80 pounds for both pregnancies.  I lost the weight the first time and now have to do it again as my baby is 6 weeks old.  I have joined a clinic in Canada called dr. bernsteins and they have a very low cal diet with B6B12 injections 3 times a week.  I will lose the weight in three months.  It is amazing but very expensive.  I am currently researching how to get the injections on my own or take oral supplements.

WEll, im joining the club. My story is very similiar to the first, except I didn't gain 85lbs! I had my son in 98 and didn't gain a pound after him, but of course I was active being as though I was 17 years old. After I graduated from high school, I begin gaining a little weight, I was 172 pounds then got pregnant with my daughter. After her, I was 181. Now I have a 11/2 year old, and I am 195 pounds....OH WOW..I know
I am 5"8 and I weigh 195 lbs which is too damn big !!!
I hate to see people who i have not seen in a while, I hide, and do whatever I can to stay away. im tired of hiding my body from my boyfriend, and myself. He hates when i do, but I can't help it, I am ashamed of what I see.
I have started the b12 shot as of yeterday(March 12) as well as the pills.The pills have been working, because I have not been hungry.
I hope I can share my results and be happy a month from now. My next shot is scheduled 3 weeks from now, as well as my weigh in. I hope I loose atleast 8lbs. WE shall see.

Do some sort of non-impact exercise after your injury
is healed and keep your calories above 1200 otherwise your
body will think it is starving and will slow down your metabolism
and burn muscle instead of fat.  People that continue to diet under
the 1200 calorie limit end up gaining weight eating only 500
calories.

As someone with longstanding back problems, my advice is NOT to run until fully healed.  Each step just pounds on your back and with excess weight, that makes it all the more force with each step.  

Have you considered a chiropractor for your back?  If you're squeamish or skeptical about chiropractic, don't be. I'm a nurse and I'm telling you, it is worth having your back looked at by one. It's helped keep me stable and away from disc surgery for many years.
