in Introduce Yourself
Hey Everyone ! I'm a 29 yr old second time mom! Exclusively breastfeeding and looking to lose the remaining 40 pounds that I gained during pregnancy. I gained a total of 65 and my baby is now a month old. For two weeks now I have been eating roughly 1650 calories a day and it's had no negative impact on my milk supply. I have two weeks left until I'm cleared by my doctor for exercise! Currently weigh 204, hoping to get my to my pre-pregnancy weight of 165. Looking for friends/motivation, as I would really like to have this weight off by July!

    Hi Angela! It's so nice to know that I'm not on this journey alone! I'm one of those people who have serious unrealistic expectations and just wish the weight would melt off instantly like when I was 19 with my first pregnancy!

    Hi, Ashley I weighed in at 224 after my pregnancy. I currently weigh 203 my goal weight is 160. We both can help encourage each other to get the weight off. I'm currently eating an 1330 calories a day and my milk supply is at a rapid pace. My baby boy is a week old. I have five more wks to go before being cleared to exercise. I currently walk using the pacer app for motivation. July is definitely a good cut off time to see results.

    Hey Ashley. I've been there. I got up to 222 with my first pregnancy, 244 with my second (then I got down to 153 woot woot) then back up to 210 with my third pregnancy. Now I'm down to 163. :) Goal is 130 so I have a ways to go. We can support one another!
