I have a question about this episode Episode 310: Ashlee Jones and this Weight Loss Journey. I'm a mom of two, and my youngest is about to turn 2. I cannot for the life of me lose the excess “baby weight” and trim down. My main goal is to continue building strength and lower my overall body fat percentage/improve my body composition. If anything, I’ve actually gained weight since the first year I was postpartum. What recommendations do you have for me?
Hi there. I'm a 31-year-old female living in Belgium. I'm a mom of a 4-year-old daughter, and ever since my pregnancy, I can't lose the final weight. I quit smoking before getting pregnant and started eating instead. After that, my pregnancy and labor were very hard on me, and I had to lay down for months, plus COVID happened. I gained a lot of weight, going from 70 to 106 kgs. After giving birth, I had several surgeries, and I struggle with chronic pain. I lost weight down to 75 kgs, but that's it. Every time I hit that 75 kg mark, I plateau for weeks on end and eventually quit, letting myself go (over and over again) up to 80 kg, starting the horrific cycle all over again. I've been doing that for three years now. I hit 12k steps easily on a daily basis, as I love walking the dog, and I do a fitness routine 2/3 times a week at the gym. My previous coach dropped my calories as low as 1450 kcals, and even then, I stopped losing weight. I've tried it on 1200 kcals but also on 1750 kcals, but always with the same outcome: a huge plateau moment around 75 kgs followed by quitting. I've been so unhappy with how I feel in my body, and mostly, I just want to lose the fat to feel energized and be playful with my gorgeous daughter. I also want to feel confident in my body so that I can project confidence and ensure she won't ever feel insecure due to my own insecurities. I've tried low carb and very high protein diets, but all the extremes just ended up with me bingeing, sometimes even after months of good work. I hope you guys can give me the tools to finally succeed. I love your show; it's been a motivation through every setback. Hope to hear you soon, Olga.
I'm 5 months postpartum with my first child, and I breastfeed. I had a c-section and weighed around 155 before I got pregnant. I didn't gain any weight during my pregnancy, and since giving birth, I lost over 20lbs postpartum. I currently weigh around 130 but struggle with nutrition. I want to keep working out, but I feel like I'm going backwards because I don't think I'm eating enough. I have MAPS Starter, but I'm not sure if I should continue the program and work on my nutrition or focus on nutrition before I start working out. What should I do?
