    My little one is 6 months, and I am looking to lose the remaining weight, AND the weight from my previous pregnancy in 2015.

    My little girl is 6 weeks and I have not been able to accept my new postpartum body image. Still wearing maternity clothes because I can't bring myself to shop according to my new weight and have 20#'s to go until I can fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes. We're in this together!

    Anyone breastfeeding and able to find that option in the settings to appropriately reflect the calorie and nutrient intake??

    I am breastfeeding and I would be interested in that info if you find anything out.

    My little girl is 8 weeks on Thursday and I still have 15lbs to lose. I'm also still wearing maternity pants, and having a hard time with my new body. I really thought breastfeeding would help it melt away faster, but I think it's making me hungrier so I'm eating more than I need to. That's why I'm back on mfp. I haven't found a setting, but I read that bfing burns 200-500 calories per day, so I'm just adding 200 calories burned by bfing as a custom exercise to my diary. I'm also going out for walks/jogs with the stroller more even if all she gives me is 15 minutes, I figure it will add up over the day. Just be careful...the first time I tried jogging again I totally peed my pants. I went from 0 exercise up to 7 weeks and now I'm putting in 1-3 miles a day...slow pace but it's something. I also found a calculator online so I could figure out calories burned walking/jogging with a baby and a stroller. Hopefully I can shed even just 5 more pounds before we head to a wedding in October. Good luck to you!

    I have a 1 month old. I have 7 pounds till I'm at pre pregnancy weight. I would like to lose 9, or more. As much as I can without my husband bitching that I've lost my butt lmao. Time to start doing squats again now that I'm mostly healed Dx
    Add me if you want to, guys. It would be interesting to see what's working for others.

    My LO is also 6 weeks. I read somewhere that if you set your goal to maintain weight while breastfeeding you will lose weight as you burn approx 500cal from breastfeeding. I did this last week and it seems to be working. I weighed myself today and I'm 2lbs down. I hadn't lost a lb since week 2 so I'm feeling a bit more positive. I'm fed up wearing maternity yoga pants.

    Hi ladies. I just had my luttle guy a few days ago so not trying to lose right now, want to let my supply come in before I start messing with things. I will probably get back at it in a few weeks. I did want to post this link though:

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10176233/gaining-weight-during-pregnancy-and-losing-it-post-partum

    I found it a very useful read and it covers how much and how to log breasfeeding calories in the second half for those of you who were asking.

    ~best wishes to you all

    Does it count if my daughter is 24 months? LOL

    But in seriousness, the part that made me eat the most was sleep deprivation. I find that if you aren't getting enough rest your body's hormones that controls hunger/appetite are out of whack. But, now that she's STTN, I got used to all the bad eating that I was doing!
