Hello, I worked out during most of my pregnancy, but had to stop in my 8th month due to a minor complication. After a 4 month hiatus, I have started working out again but it is so hard. I was in such good shape pre-pregnancy but now I can barely do 30 minutes of a Cathe video. I also gained about 50 lbs during my pregnancy and I am trying to get it off but I still have about 25 more lbs. to lose (I am 3 months postpartum). I work out hard 4 days a week for about 11/2 each session and I am watch what I eat (low carb diet, lots of protein). I intend to breastfeed for 6 more months or so. How long does it take to get back into shape? I know the weight will come off in time but I feel like I will never get back to my former fitness level. I struggle to get through each workout session and feel like giving up. It's as if all of my hard work before and during my pregnancy was for nothing. Help!!
