Around four months postpartum, I hit a weight-loss plateau. I hadn't been very strict in my dietary efforts up until that point, so I used this as an opportunity to double down and take on the one weight-loss tactic that has worked for me every time: counting calories. This strategy may not be for everyone, but I have always found it to be really effective, especially when my weight loss comes to a screeching halt. It helps me jumpstart my efforts and take a much closer look at what, exactly, I'm putting into my body.
I really enjoy using the Fitbit app to count calories, but MyFitnessPal is another convenient digital solution. Just make sure you know how many calories you need to eat to lose weight, while still effectively nourishing your body (and your baby, if you're breastfeeding).
