I am 25 years old, married and a former first grade teacher (I'm taking time off until my daughter is school aged). I have PCOS and recently gave birth to a baby girl on November 9th, 2015.
I want to set a healthy example for my daughter. I want to make sure that I live a long life and am able to be there for her for as long as possible. I was overweight before pregnancy (209) and gained quite a bit of weight during pregnancy (262 on the day of delivery). Two weeks postpartum I weigh 232. My goal weight is 139. I'm 5'8" tall.
I am exclusively breastfeeding. How many calories should I be eating each day to lose weight but continue to produce milk?

My little guy is 4 months old. It's estimated that your body burns 650 ish calories a day while breastfeeding, and it is recommended to consume 500 of those calories on top of your reccomended to maintain supply. I am losing on 2000 calories a day.0
