Breastfeeding requires 450-500 calories a day so you are really not eating enough/throwing off your metabolism IMO.

This is nonsense that’s been thoroughly debunked.

Didn’t the NYT just run an article on new research essentially saying your metabolism does pretty much this in extreme situations?

I couldn’t lose the weight until I stopped nursing. I feel like nursing helped me initially shed weight, but then I’d hold onto 10 lbs until I was done.

I also feel like my baseline changed with my third child and those 5-10 lbs are just here to stay.

OP, why do you need to lose those last 7 pounds? Seriously. If your scale said 130, and you looked the same as you do now, would you be ok with that? If so, then I hereby declare you to be 7 pounds lighter. Congratulations! Go forth and conquer!
