[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have been keeping your caloric intake less than your daily expenditure for an entire year, it's simply not possible to have not lost a pound unless you have a metabolic disorder.  Somehow you are having more calories than you think you are, or it could be that because you've been so inactive that you actually are overeating at 1600/day.    Try to keep it at 1200-1400 (hard to say without knowing more about you), 1600 is pushing it especially for someone that doesn't exercise.

As the PP said building muscle helps raise your baseline metabolism because muscle burns calories 24/7. I don't think a professional trainer is necessary, my mom lost 70 pounds in the past 1.5 years doing beach body exercise videos and the "cha lean" series. That might be easier for someone that doesn't like to go to the gym to get into.  As long as you keep your calories below that mark even minimal exercise (30 min of cardio/brisk walking) a day should be enough to push you into the weight loss zone.[/quote]

I agree with this.  Are you actually overweight, or just not where you were pre-baby?  If you are overweight, it would be very difficult to not lose weight at 1400-1600 calories a day unless you are EXTREMELY sedentary.

I too do beachbody (insanity etc) and have gotten MUCH stronger and leaner.  But weight loss is mostly about diet.  Even exercising as intensely as I do, I could lose 10 lbs if I controlled my diet better than I do.[/quote]
