why is the last 10lbs so hard lose?

hello, my son is 3 months and i am still 10lbs over weight. my sister-in-law says it's b/c i am nursing but i thought you lost the weight rapidly while nursing. i had quit by now with my first b/c i was too thin. i am so happy with most of my life just not this lingering 10lbs.

help...

i really have no idea.  I'm going through the same thing; 10 months after Julia's been born.  It's comical at this point.  Gym, lo carb, portion control-  now I'm going to cut out salt.  Let's see if that helps.  Am I ever going to be able to eat like a normal person AGAIN???!!!

I'd say you HAVE lost the weight rapidly. Didn't you lose all but the 10 pounds by 5-6 weeks postpartum? I'm at 8 months PP and still have 10 pounds to lose. I have heard women who are nursing have a hard time losing the last 10 pounds, though. It seems to be true for me!

yeah, i did lose all but 10 lbs by 4 weeks pp but i only gained 20lbs. i am not used to looking so chubby but i guess it's totally worth it!

Well, I know I hit a weight-loss stall around 3 months pp. My hormones did a major shift...I had acne breakouts, dandruff, mood swings, etc. and didn't lose a single pound. Then, it all suddenly cleared up and the weight started coming off again.

You're right...totally worth it!
