Default Losing Weight after Baby

I was just wondering if anyone out there has had trouble losing weight after having a baby. Prior to having my son on 2/18/05, I was 325 lbs. and had lost 160. Before I got pregnant I gained 24 and then got pregnant and gained 51. I have 63 lbs. to lose to get back to goal. After I had him I had some problems and having an infant was not concentrating on losing. I have been back strictly on program since Feb 25th and it seems like the weight just doesn't want to come off. Has anyone experienced this and do you have any suggustions.

I swear I was starving the entire time I was breasfeeding. I was always hungry and am sure I ate far more than my 500 extra you are allowed for it. Actually, up until 2 months ago I have been pregnant or breatfeeding since Jan - 02.

It has been much easier to diet since I stopped nursing DD this winter. She is almost 2 and still wants to nurse, but she only wants to do it at night, and I finally got fed up with 1) being up all night and 2) having 1 breast twice the size of the other.

I have three kids (ages 4, 3, and 11 weeks) and I was never able to lose more than a few pounds after my first two. This time, however, I am DETERMINED to lose the weight! I was around 140 before I became pregnant with my first, and before I started WW almost four weeks ago I was 205. WW is definitly working the the weight loss - as I've lost 10 lbs so far. The weight added from the pregnancies though sure seems to be stubborn about coming off!!
