I had my son a month ago, have been breastfeeding the whole time, and have had some excercise and I haven't been pigging out. Why is the weight not coming off?

Why is it OK for very heavy people to eat like 400-1000 calories a day after gastric bypass surgery, but its not OK for people who want to lose weight but dont get surgery? I know about how your metabolism slows if you restrict calories, but thats only a problem if you give in and binge eat. If you stick with it and eat very few calories, your body has no choice but to lose weight.

I've been on the gestational diabetes diet since 9/11/2008 .. and all of the sudden today, I feel so hungry! I ate my breakfast, snack, and lunch and I am still starving. It's been less than an hour since I ate and my stomach is growling. I am eating the correct servings, and this never happened before. What's going on? Seems like nothing is helping! What can I do? Thanks!

I gained a LOT of weight during my pregnancy do to being on bedrest on and off and probably not eating as well as I could of. I have lost 40lbs so far in the past 3 month and I have 25 more to go. I only have time to workout for a half hour right now and go for walks when the weather is permitting. I'll be honest, I am not very good at putting together a healthy diet and workout plan (I just don't know what workout or foods would be best to promote weight loss).Any personal suggestions/experiences would be appreciated!

I know that carbohydrate will be converted to glycogen (sugar) and stored in body. For this reason, if I eat a lot of carbohydrate, ie. the food groups at the base of Pyramid Food Guide, will I possibly increase sugar for myself? ANd consequently, will I have diabetes because of high-carb diet?
: I eat a lot of high-sugar fruits too though, eg, grapes, tangerine, pears, apple. My diet is low around 1,200-1,500 calorie and my eating habit is irregular.

And if I exercise regularly, will my sugar decrease due to burning of energy for use during exercise?

Before I got pregnant my body was a pear, which means I had bigger hips than bust. After pregnancy I've tried too hard to lose wight and now my bust has disappeared. Will I get my old shape or I will stay like this forever?

im 21 5'7 and weigh about 250 pounds, also if i am what is available for me as far as types of surgery goes?

I was very skinny and toned before getting pregnant, (about 110 lbs) but I've gained about 45 lbs during pregnancy I'm only 5'1'' so now I look terrible, extra flabby skin everywhere!!! I lost 20 lbs in the first 3 weeks right after my baby was born, but it's been 3 more weeks since then and i haven't lost a pound. Will I EVER be that skinny again? Do I need to go on a strict diet and exercise like crazy to get my abs back or I'm being too paranoid and all I need it's time?

I'm just really getting sick of being fat. I'm not very health conscious, so my first step is to get educated on what exactly food is for and how your body uses it. Have you or someone you know had success with any programs that teach you how to eat right? I know it will take 1-2 years to lose my 100 lbs., but I'm just curious what has helped others.

Im 23 weeks and Ive already gained 18lbs so far so I know Im going to be a porker by the the time I finally give birth. Ive heard that breastfeeding helps with the weightloss, is this true?

If so, is there anyway I can just pump the milk and give it to the baby without actually having to breastfeed. Im not really looking to actually breastfeed and having to ween the baby. Ive seen women breastfeeding big kids and I dont think thats quite cool. I believe if the kid is old enough to ask for the breast, they are too old to be be breastfed.

Any other good weight loss tips for after pregnancy are appreciated. Im thinking about taking a cruise in November and I want to make sure my body looks hot by then. Im due in June
