first kid and gained weight

[warrowes]

I am 26 years old and recently had a kid end of last year. I got up to 175 pounds while pregnant from 130 pounds, so i gained a lot of weight. now I want to lose it back but it is taking a while. I am doing a lot of cardio like spin and pilates but i only got my weight down to about 140 so 10 pounds to go. any help is appreciated!

you will lose the weight off thanks to something called homeostasis. your body will remember where it was before but remember your body is still recovering from all that trauma and stress so sounds like you are right on schedule. remember to go back to eating for 1 instead of 2 and good things will happen

eat cleaner and be more active , basically redo what you were doing in the past

90% of women who gain that much weight when pregnant simply ate too much.

You have to be patient and focus on your diet. Don't burn out by doing too much cardio when diet will make the biggest impact. It can take a couple years in some cases for hormones to fully return to normal so just stick to your plan.

doesn't sound like you need any help... just keep doing what you're doing.
