in Introduce Yourself
Hello all. I'm a new mom, first child in January! After delivery I have lost all my baby weight and an additional 15pounds! I went from 220 prepreg weight to currently 203. I would love to lose another 15. That's my first goal!

Can you all offer any advice? What should I set my intake goals at?

Thanks in advance! :)

    Congrats on your baby! My first child was born in March. I've lost the baby weight, but I've plateaued at my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm hoping to lose 15-20 pounds. 30 pounds would put me at a "normal" BMI, so that is my ultimate goal. I'm currently breastfeeding, so to trick the system to allow for the recommended additional calories for breastfeeding moms, I said I wanted to maintain weight, and put in an honest current activity level. We'll see if that works for me. If not, I'll adjust it.

    As for how you set your intake goals, I've found that going through the initial setup questions is fairly reliable. They'll calculate for you based on height/weight and activity level, and whether you want to lose, maintain or gain weight.
