Why is it so hard to lose weight!!!!

Question

I’ve been trying so hard to lose weight counting my calories and exercising (30 minute cardio)I had my baby now 8 weeks ago through csection and having a hard time losing weight, my husband in the other hand loses weight like nothing without trying I just wish I was more like him after having my kids it’s so much harder to lose weight,when I was younger it seemed so simple now I try and still have a hard time, any tips? I’m trying but can’t seem to get the weight off

Answer

It can take two months for your uterus to shrink back down. Eight weeks is still quite early - give yourself a break. It took 9 months to put on the weight. It’s going to take time to lose it.

Answer

I am right there with you sista! I’m 175lbs and have been trying to lose weight for a year!!! A YEAR!!!! It just yo-yo’s.  
No joke, my husband and I did a 6 week challenge at a local gym. If we lost 20lbs in 6 weeks we would get our money back. So we had the exact same diet (mine being lower in calories) and did the exact same workouts... he lost 22lbs and I lost 10 😑 guy really do lose weight a lot easier than us.

Answer

You expectation in terms of time might not be realistic.
Especially if, as you seem to know, things are not as easier as they were. 
Just relax and keep doing what you doing  you will get there.

Answer

Add weight training to your cardio, also be more patient with yourself-8 weeks isn’t long at all

Answer

Firstly, u JUST had a baby, so ur body is still trying to adjust from being pregnant & giving birth, and especially via c-section! Most women’s bodies don’t “bounce back” fast. So, definitely cut yourself some slack!!! 
Secondly, men & women’s bodies are very different... men typically lose weight a lot fast than us women. It does suck, but that’s just how it is! 
Thirdly, make sure ur eating enough calories without eating too many, and drinking a lot of water!! Losing weight is 80% ur diet & 20% exercise. The healthy average weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week. 
Weight loss isn’t easy, or fast (typically), it takes a lot of time & patience!! So, keep going & again, don’t be so hard on yourself!!
