I’m throwing this post out because I feel run down by the whole weight loss process. I lost 35lbs last year after having my second kid. I’m still about 20lbs away from my goal, tho TBH I’d be really happy just to get down 10 more and stay there for a bit.

I stalled out around November of last year. I’ll go up a bit, then get back down, then up the same 3-7 pounds on a month to month basis.

Before then I was still breastfeeding, I wasn’t doing any strength training. I focused mostly on portion control and walking a lot with the baby.

Now I’m working more, baby is weaned, and I’m strength training. I know I’ve gained some muscle. But I have a history of strength training, and I’m not concerned about putting more muscle on. I want the fat off! And I really thought I would be consistently closer to 140 month to month than the 150 I’m constantly hovering around.

I’ve tried tracking numerous times the last three months. I get 1-2 weeks in and throw in the towel because life is just too full right now to manage the work tracking takes. And I start to get obsessive with food.

I know this is hard work. I just feel super frustrated and annoyed and wish it was easier at this point.

I’ve tracked with clothing, pics, and measurements too. And I’m heavier now than I was a month ago because I let the frustration get to me and was eating too much processed and hyper palatable stuff.
