Reply To: Mothers in the CR

You can’t expect to lose in 5 weeks what took you 9 months to gain. You will lose the wait by nursing, and by being a busy mom! Exercise is good too, but I’ve learned that we tend to revert back to our ‘genetically determined’ weight, no matter what. Some mothers can exercise a lot, but never really get skinny bc it doesn’t run in their family (and it’s not their potential). And some mothers hardly exercise at all, and they’re as thin as can be. After having had all my kids, and exercising a bit, noshing a bit, I still look exactly like my mother…
