When Will I Start Losing Weight? Mothers Of New Baby Who Run?

(My stats before prego 5’3″ 123, currently 143) Ok, had a baby 2 1/2 months ago. I was a runner before I got pregnant and ran as long as I could. Started back running a month after she was born. I’m currently training for a half marathon. I had 40 lbs to lose after she was born and the 1st 10 lbs came off w/o me noticing. The 2nd 10 lbs took a little while longer. Now I’ve got 20 more lbs to lose and I know I’ve lost body fat b/c my body fat percentage is down 4% but my weight hasn’t changed. So I assume I’m losing fat at the same rate I’m gaining muscle but what I’m wanting to know is when will I start losing weight?
I had alot of muscle before I got pregnant. I lifted weights and ran.
And I know the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn at rest. Oh, and I eat healthy and drink plenty of water b/c I’m also breastfeeding and I know I have to stay plenty hydrated.
Would it be that my body knows i’m breastfeeding and is trying harder to hang on to the fat for the baby? And that’s why I’m having a hard time?
And another question, for any breastfeeding mothers that run also. Would the lactic acid from running get in breast milk and make my baby fussy? Like if I fed her right after a run? I usually try to run right after I feed her so then I have at least an hour to rest before she needs to eat again. But there have been times as soon as I got back from a run I had to feed her.
And stretch marks, is there anything I can do? I know i’ve heard coco butter but isn’t that just for prevention or them?

Crack the Fat Loss Code – Start Losing Weight Today!

The human body is able to resist hunger and starvation by holding on to fat. This is the reason why it’s too difficult to lose the extra pounds no matter how hard you try. Nutrition specialist Wendy Chant has developed a lifestyle plan to Crack the Fat-Loss Code. The book was written to help you outsmart the natural cycles of the body when it comes to storing calories and burning fat. Crack the Fat-Loss Code sets itself apart from other weight loss program by focusing on speeding up your metabolism – this is done through “macro-patterning”. While the process sounds intimidating, what it actually does is to set up a routine in which you need to alternate your carbohydrate intake -carb-up, carb-down – to trick the body into believing that it doesn’t need to be so dependent on fat to resist starvation.
Crack the Fat Loss Code allows you to reprogram your body so that it will burn the fat and keep it at bay. Reprogramming involves changing your eating habits. But before you begin the program, you will appreciate the fact that the book will help you get a clear understanding of how your body works and how it responds to certain changes, specifically in the intake of certain kinds of food. With a better understanding, you will learn to appreciate the program because you see science at work and your body is the beneficiary. The first few chapters of the book will help you understand what carbohydrates, proteins, and fat are, and how the body is using them. This will give you the right mindset when starting the program. The effects of Crack the Fat Loss Code program can be seen in as early as eight weeks. It also has sample meal plans that will guide you on what types of food to eat and what food to avoid. This is not to say that you will not be able to enjoy your favorite food. You still can eat what you like once your body has been reprogrammed.
While the main goal is to lose the excess fat, the program also will help you realize that the food you are used to eating is the wrong type of food. This has a positive impact in your eating habits and you will develop the discipline to eat healthy food without craving for trashy food. One interesting explanation in the book is that most of us don’t wait for our blood sugar to level before pumping our body with sugar and carbohydrates. This is logical and yet we are al guilty of the deed. The book also tells about the danger of not eating or skipping meals only to give in to hunger pangs in the next days and be at the risk of overeating.
Crack the Fat Loss Code lets you have a better understanding of how the body stores and uses fuel. Knowing the process will help you outsmart your body. This can be the start of your journey to a healthier and leaner body.
