Depression Weight harder to lose than pregnancy weight?

[nsbmsk]

I am a mother of three beautiful boys aged 10, 8, and 6. problem is that before I had any of sons I went through a pretty severe depression and ended up going from 125lbs. to 185lbs. I'm only 5'2" and have a medium frame and a fairly muscular build. (very curvy, not slim)

After third son was born I kicked the depression but the weight is still sticking. I don't have any of preg weight left, so I'm sitting at 185lbs right now.

I currently walk/run or ride bike for about 20-30 min 6 days/week. I'm just starting to lift weights again after a one year hiatus using light wt(2-5 lbs) and an exercise ball.

diet is not consistent. I don't plan what we're going to eat day by day, which may be problem. I just go by whatever is in cupboard. I do have a freezer full of chicken(we raise our own) and beef(from the butcher).

Any ideas on how to kick the depression weight and gain back energy so that I can keep up with boys?

And why is this type of weight harder to lose????

increase your wts so that 12 reps is just bareable then increase again

yes, plan out your food and eat protein (meat) with every meal you have the size of your palm

simply improving exercise and diet will increase yuor energy levels
