[quote=Anonymous]Hi,
Put my feelings into a real perspective for me.

I am 2 months PP with DC#2. I gained 30 lbs during pregnancy. I am 5’6 and an athletic build. Immediately after delivering, I lost 15 pounds. 8 weeks later and I have not lost another ounce.

My diet is solid - I eat meals that are vegetable heavy, minimal added sugars, almost no alcohol, and I exercise 5 days a week - combination of Cardi and weights. But for the life of me cannot lose the weight. After my first child, I lost the weight right away.

Am I doomed? I had an anxiety attack about this today and am freaking out a bit. When I got pregnant I was in super shape and now my “big” pants barely fit. Do I need to give my body more time to heal? I was on steroids (prednisone) for 25 days from 36 weeks through 2 weeks PP so l I’m not sure if that has effected my weight/weight loss but I’m trying to figure out if I need patience or to be more diet extreme/conscious.

(Please, no aggression. My anxiety about this is real, I am working hard at it, and I just need some perspective)
