in Getting Started
Hey everyone! I started 10 days ago trying to lose the rest of this baby weight. I'm still breastfeeding my 19 month old. I'm 34 years old and weighed in at 142 the other day. I'm trying to get back down to 125. Any other breastfeeding mommas out there?

    I just really started trying to drop the baby weight and then some. My little one is only 1 month and he ended up being a c-section. I have been walking and need to start tracking my food better. I just don't want my milk supply to drop.

    I had a c section with my last one as well. I find if I go under 1500 calories my milk supply dips.

    I'm 5 months pp, 7lbs below pre-pregnancy weight but I still have at least 45lbs to lose to be healthier. My calorie goal is around 1800 although some days I only get about 1650. So far no dip in supply but I know I need to drink more water.

    I've got a 5 and half month old that I'm breastfeeding. In the past 2 weeks I have dropped 7 pounds doing the 21 Day Fix program. I get plenty of food, more than I can eat. I haven't had a problem with supply at all. The program and support has been so awesome that I signed up to coach. Now I'm part of a team to help with accountability. I still have a lot to go, but I feel amazing. You ladies can do it! I mean, you have a baby, you can do anything.

    I tried the 21 day fix and lost 12 pounds in 11 days but also lost my supply.. took time to build it back up so I won't try it again until after I'm done :)
