Faye, over 1600 posts - wow! I am looking forward to being here to be able to do that many and more! Joy the advice Faye gave you is a good one, back when I loss a lot of weight the first time I consulted a professional female body builder, but she was not these over muscular types, in a nutshell, she had a body to die for, ANYWAY she told me to vary my calories from day to day that way you body never got used to a set amount and that would speed the metabolism. Another thing is when you walk or run or whatever, do what is called interval training, for example walk at a steady pace for one minute, then fast for one or two minutes, then a steady pace until heartbeat and breathing are back to normal, then pick it up again, this is another good way to burn fat. Anyway check in often with us, we are here to help you, and congratulations on being a mommy.

I'm new here!
I am 50) Anyhow, make sure you are taking in enough calories and if you are, make sure you are getting in that daily exercise. There is no secret just good hard work. If you seem to be at the upper level of calories, points, whatever you are doing, you may want to bounce back and forth a little to get your metabolism jumping again. For example: If you eat between 1400-1600 calories, do 1400 mon-wed then eat a full 1600 on thurs then 1500 on Friday and back to 1400 or whatever. It somehow tweaks your metabolism to do this.
