So after weeks of going to the gym I am at ... drumroll please... T-60 pounds. I have lost a grand total of 0 pounds. No joke. I am doing cardio for 30 min a day and I have lost no weight. So far it doesn't bother me, but I'm sure it will soon. Even though I haven't lost any weight, I do feel better. I can now get up and down much easier and I feel like I have more energy. For now, that's good enough for me. My vices are Coca cola and Oreos. I should give up both and I'm sure I will... eventually.
I had to buy new clothes today because I'm going back to work in two weeks and I don't fit in any of my clothes and naked isn't a good look for me.
You know what motivates me at the gym? When I see people that are further away from the ideal weight than I am or people that look like they would be less motivated than me. When I see them working their tails off. I see them and think if they can do this then I can do this. Today I saw an elderly couple that looked like they were in their upper seventies and they were lifting weights with a trainer. I also saw two women who were maybe twice my weight working their tails off - pun intended - to lose weight.
Someday I'll lose weight. Right?

I could have written this post. I do 3-4 hours of high-impact cardio every week, and have lost exactly 0 lbs. in 4 weeks.
I talked to my OB about it at my check-up on Wednesday. He said that with the breastfeeding, I should not expect to see any weight loss until at least August. Our bodies have to adjust to the amount of calories we are burning between the nursing and exercising. He said don't diet, just keep up the exercise, and it will all start to come off eventually. He was actually quite supportive about it b/c I was so upset at seeing no progress.

So because we are breastfeeding we don't lose weight?? I thought the breastfeeding made losing weight faster? Arg. I hate that I can't fit into anything in my closet and my shape has changed so much.
