@hope26 confuse your body. have a cheat day and a low cal day.. calorie cycling to break plateau. that helps sometimes. it is ok otherwise see how you are able to maintain this. have a massage, pamper your skin have more fruits and then get back to calorie counting..

Calorie deficit is possible with work / home chores. If your doctors clinic / hospital has a nutrition, consult them n get a diet chart made for you. They help in losing weight with food as well. It works, have tried.

If can't cook separately,
start with portion control - eat less of your regular food
cut out any junk food / sweets (keep it like 1-2 piece for a whole week - strictly healthy snacking only
Cook with less oil, add loads veggies n fruits, brown rice as part of daily meal for everyone.
Have timely home cooked healthy meal n finish the dinner early.
Use apps like HealthifyMe to count calories, I use that regularly to keep a track of my intake.
- These things sounds simple, but they really work.

It's tough while starting out but our body adapts pretty fast.

I have done all that, dear. It is not possible with the situation I am in. I am already on portion control as much as I can and I do lose weight although very slowly. I have a FITBIT and I exercise everyday. I have even cutout eating out.

Hi, have u tried to count your calories n see what's your daily intake count?

Great progress otherwise.

Try a fruit only day, salad only day kinds of diet, just for a day n see if it makes a difference. salad is good as it can be balanced n nutritious.

Like boiled green Moong Dal with onion, tomato, carrots, lemon juice, salt, pepper salad.

N try healthy salads like that. It can help break the plateau.

Hi raisin,I know how frustrated it will be but just relax.i ve few tips for you..stress,s the main reason for not loosing.good sleep.hydrating yourself (4 lit water), will definitely help. if you don't modify your diet you can't loose even if you work out.1.portion control.2.include more fruit and veggies 3.detox drinks 4.healthy snacks
Since breast feeding can make you hungry so be prepared with healthy options.
Don't worry, you ll reduce
Good luck
