Hi : ) I'm just lurking here but I'm feeling your pain! I lost all my pregnancy weight with DD right away, but this time its just not going away!

One thought I had is that if you are cutting calories too much and/or exercising too vigorously while BF'ing, your body could be in starvation mode and will hold on to the weight (fat stores). Maybe try increasing calories (if you are on a very low cal diet) and see if that helps any. The extra calories could help increase your metabolism and help burn more fat.

HTH! : D
