Deb- I can understand your discouragement! I think that one thing-discouragement- has kept me so overweight for so long! I know it's frustrating, but just keep making sure you're eating whenever you're hungry, and maybe try to exercise if you can. Sometimes our metabolisms need a little kick, and exercise can do the trick. I know it's really hard when you have little ones! I wish I had known about McD when my babies were little! I could have spared so much unhealthy eating over the years. Now, with teenagers, it's a lot harder to change the way they've been taught to eat. So, I guess I'm just trying to encourage you to keep up the great work and not get too discouraged! I know the scales will show it soon!!!!
Also, for what it's worth, I could never lose weight when I was nursing my babies! (I think in a different post you said you're still breastfeeding.) I know everyone says that the weight falls off when you breastfeed, but the opposite was true for me! I've never seen it written down anywhere, but that was my experience. I don't know if my body was trying to conserve for the baby, or what, but I breastfed each of my three children for anywhere from 6-13 months ( I let them wean when they were ready) and I had much more successs with weightloss after I stopped. So, hang in there!
