The last few pounds are always the hardest to lose. A couple of important tips that may help all in the same position:
1) cardio is best done in the morning
2) resistance training is best done in the afternoon as hormone levels are higher for muscle growth
3) using HIIT – high intensity interval training during cardio workouts make them shorter and more valuable.
4) eat at least 6 small meals – eat at least every 4-5 hrs to keep your metabolism firing.

I hope this helps and good luck.

I am now following you on Twitter so I will keep up to date on progress.

I feel your pain sister. I have those last 10 pounds to lose to, and I am one of those before the crack of dawn “morning maniacs”. I bet you are already beautiful just the way you are even with those extra ten pounds. Society likes to drag us down and tell us what we should look like. Its sad, but I fall into the trap too.

You also need to remember that your body is not always going to react the same way it did the first time. You are aging! You might be still young (according to my age or your folks! lol) but you are still aging. Your body changes.

I only had one son, and I really didn’t gain that much weight during or after. I think the medication did that for me-the depression too. But I have to work extra hard due to my age and due to my body changes.

But not everyone is going to be the same.

I think you will do just fine as you find a solution if you have not done so yet…but stay positive!

the good news is that your husband and kids still loves & accepts you just as you are!!

Safe hugz!
