QuestionHi! I am 37 yrs old, 5'8.5" and 165 lbs. I am trying to get back to 145 lbs (from 2 kids ago). For breakfast I eat a Yoplait yogurt and a whole wheat english muffin with a little apple butter and water to drink. For lunch I eat a low fat string cheese, an apple and a serving of almonds with fat free milk to drink. Then I eat a regular dinner which varies but is usually pretty healthy. I am nursing and I do my elliptical trainer most days - a 1/2 hour session once or twice/day. I am a stay-at-home mom so I am fairly active during the day. Does it sound like I should lose weight with this regimine? The lbs aren't exactly dropping off and I'm wondering if I'm not being patient or if I should be doing something different. Any ideas?
AnswerWell, it seems you aren't taking in too many calories but I don't know what a 'regular' dinner is to you. Often women have a hard time losing wt until they stop breastfeeding. Of course I am not advising you to do this because it is wonderful that you are! Are you okay with waiting?
