Losing the weight

Ask a Fitness Expert

I had my daughter 12 weeks ago and I have been working out for 8 weeks now I dropped a good chunk of my weight but it seems as if my body wants to hold on to the last 15 lbs I do cardio 4 6 times a week and lift those days as well I am also breastfeeding and counting my calorie intake during the day With all of this I know that I am burning more than I am taking in so why is the weight not coming off Do some bodies hang on to extra weight Will it come off

I also want to note that I eat plenty of fruit veggies and protein for breastfeeding to give her the nbutrition she needs
