[quote=Anonymous]I am not a nutritionist but I have been in your shoes and successfully dropped the weight over time. Gained with pregnancy but that weight is dropping using the same approach I used before baby.

Log your food and eating habits for a couple weeks. Don't try to change anything but see what your patterns are. Same with exercise and physical activity. Keep track of your energy, how you feel, etc. I use myfitnesspal.

Pick one thing about your diet to improve. (Such as, eat a vegetable with lunch every day, increase daily protein by 20 grams, ), reduce overall caloric intake by a couple hundred calories. Whatever you want to start with. 
Once those changes become habits move on to something else. Same with exercise. Try to do some type of exercise twice a week for 20 minutes. Then make your session longer, add a session, make the workout more intense. Progress is slow this way but it works. I havw found that nutritionists and doctors often see overweight people when the condition is life threatening. A former doctor told me to stick to an extremely low calorie diet for my size , ignoring th fact that I work out a lot. I ignored her , kept the moderate changes, and watched the weight come off.
