I was in the same boat as you and so I decided to do the Weight Watchers Online diet. They have great tools, recipes and motivational videos and success stories.

I think if you search online you can find promo codes to give you a discount. I paid for 3 months up front and am now on a month to month basis. You can cancel at anytime. I bought a new scale and weigh myself on the same day/same time once per week. OH and you also add whether or not you are breastfeeding and it adds more calories to your daily allotment of points.

Check it out. I lost 20 more lbs since doing the WW online. I, too, was stuck and started to gain weight back.

I have been in the same boat as well. I spoke with my acupuncturist, who is also a certified nurse midwife, and she said that sometimes your body holds onto weight when you are nursing as a way to make sure that you and the baby get enough nourishment. Then she advised me to make sure I am getting plenty of nutritious foods to eat. Now that my son is up and running around it seems easier to lose weight because we are more active. I don't know what kind of food you already eat, that can make a huge difference. There are ways to eat good nutritious foods for nursing that are good for weight management as well. Such as dark leafy greens, doctors say you can eat as much as you want. Snack on nuts and dried fruits instead of junk food. Nuts and dried fruits have several health benefits, and some nuts contain the good fats your body needs. Hummus is also a good snack on something low fat. I'm sure you know the obvious cut down on sweets, junk food, fruit juices, soda, fried foods, etc. Cutting down on meat especially non-lean meat helps reduce fat. Vegan and vegetarian cookbooks generally have a lot of healthy recipes that incorporate a lot of veggies, beans, and alternatives to pasta/rice like quinoa. I've also learned if you work out you don't actually start to loose weight until you've done cardio work for at least 30 (?) minutes I think it is. Jogging is great for loosing weight, and you can do it with your child. Hope that helps.
