[quote=Anonymous]OP, be kind to yourself. Losing weight when you are still nursing is very difficult. Poor sleep with a baby and multiple kids makes it even harder. I never lost the last of the baby weight with any of my kids until I fully weaned. Honestly, I didn't really physically feel fully "like myself", until my youngest was in elementary school. Even then, between full-time work, occasional nights awake with a sick kid, the typical evening family scramble... the energy and time to devote to my own well-being was slim. For now, do what you can. Up your protein and reduce your carbs. Eat whole foods. Eliminate junk foods. Go for stroller walks with the little ones when the older ones are in school or day care. Once the youngest is a bit older and you feel like you have more energy, focus on gaining muscle - quick barbell workouts (relatively heavy) can do wonders for your strength and long-term health. Above all - give yourself some grace![/quote]
