For the past few months, I have been dieting and exercizing while breastfeeding and though I have done well on my weight loss (about 20 pounds in 3 and 1/2 months), I am a little concerned about my son's drop in gain. Cessation, in fact.
He is six months old and for the last two months has not gained an ounce. He eats at will and has even begun some bits of real food (not much) but has stayed steady at 17 pounds.
About six days ago, I decided to stop my diet for a while, and although he has gained a little bit of weight, I have gained three pounds already.
Weight loss has always been intensely frustrating for me. I am very confused about what to do. I do NOT want to lose ground for what I have worked so hard for. (I was actually up to 290 lbs at the end of my pregnancy and currently weight 233... which is my start weight).
HAs anyone been in this postion? I was eating 1800kcal and walking two to four miles a day. Now I havent walked in a week and eat about 2100 kcal a day.
