[quote=Anonymous]If you really want to lose the weight, you just have to make time to work out. I don’t think there are any shortcuts that aren’t unhealthy or unsustainable. And fill your plate with mostly vegetables, especially leafy greens.

Some perspective: I had my second baby 5 months ago. I walked a mile or two every day during my 16 week maternity leave. I’ve been working out for half an hour/day 5 days a week for the past two months (weights and Peloton). I eat healthy (lots of veggies, whole grains, no red meat, mostly vegetarian) and in moderation. I don’t drink much. I’m naturally a thin person.

And guess what? Even with all that - working out, eating healthy, genetic predisposition - I’m still not back to my pre pregnancy weight. I’m wearing pants that are 2 sizes bigger than usual. I have about 7-8 lb to go to get back to my normal size. That might not sound like much, but I’m a small person. Maybe this weight is my new normal, who knows. Hormones are whack. You have to give yourself some grace.[/quote]
