Weight

As most women I know, I struggle with weight. I am not one who can eat whatever I want and not gain a pound. I am not really overweight either. My struggle right now is my post C-section body. It just didn't bounce back the way it did after my first 2 kids with natural deliveries.
I actually lost most of the baby weight while nursing my youngest. But then I stalled. After I quit nursing last spring, I started exercising. Fairly regularly. I would walk and try to run some (which I hate!), I was using free weights and doing ball exercises. I could not lose a single pound more. One problem I think was that I was still eating as if I were nursing. I could literally eat as much as my husband who is 6 feet tall. That was not the best for me. But I kept exercising all summer and into the fall. I finally stopped when things got crazy busy with soccer and the holidays. Guess what happened? I lost 3 pounds. Crazy I know. So 2 things happened I think. I finally started eating less. That was good. But I can only guess that I also lost some muscle. I have no other explanation.
Now, I am trying to exercise again. But I am not walking. It wasn't doing me any good. I tell people all the time to walk, that it is great exercise. But I think for me, I need something a little more and my body probably also adapted to the walking.
I have started doing Jillian Michael's workouts from the Biggest Loser. She is tough. It is really hard and is pushing me to my limits for sure. I love having On Demand. I am getting to try all of these exercise videos for free. And it has gotten my husband exercising again. We both have no excuse when we can do it inside for 30 minutes and get a really good workout.
This week it looks like I might have lost another pound. I don't really count it as a loss however, until it stays off for a couple of weeks. My weight tends to bounce around a little. But it is encouraging to see a change. What I want more than the lose pounds though, is to lose this post C-section stomach.
So I am off to exercise.
