Weight loss
Hi everyone. I have just had my 2nd child 5 mos ago. I am still breastfeeding but really want to lose weight. I have also recently started taking the "mini pill" for birth control - no side effects (ie weight gain, cravings, etc) as of yet. I want to drop between 20 and 30 lbs - the sooner the better. I am watching what I eat and eating what I consider healthy. A normal day would consist of a fruit or weight control oatmeal for breakfast, carrot sticks for a.m. snack, cooked fresh veggies and a small amount of rice for lunch, a handful of animal crackers for afternoon snack, and salad, veggies and a protien source for dinner, usually no p.m. snack. I usually only drink water (tons of it) unless I didn't get my fruit serving then I have a small glass of fruit juice. I have been walking on and off since the baby was born, but every day for the past 2 weeks - 2 miles a day and I alternate between abs and arms everyother day. I can't drop 1 single pound. I need help. Is there anything I can take that is safe while breastfeeding? What am I doing wrong - please help. I am so miserable. None of my clothes fit and I don't have the money to buy new winter clothes and I feel that my husband is less attracted to me (I know that's not true - but that's how I feel) ANY and ALL suggestions welcome!!
If you have cable, FitTV's got really nice little old-fashioned aerobic workoust every week day. Even if you do low impact (Sharon Mann's is moderate) you will burn about 300 calories an hour . Leisurely walking won't even do half that.
It's great that your are eating well, but it's okay to have a treat a small percentage of the time. It's the balance overall that matters.

I think that if you just keep working at it the weight will eventually come off... but maybe you should try some other exercises like yoga or pilates...those are great exercises... check out http://www.findyourdetour.com for some tips on a new workout
