Breastfeeding mom

RedwoodGypsy

Hi I am currently about 5"7 weighing 109 pounds. I'd like go back to at least 118. Pregnancy and breastfeeding + getting Invisalign definitely changed the game up for me and I'd like to go back to weighing more. Any other breastfeeding moms ??

Hey! I am breastfeeding and I just finished up a bulk. I feel like it is not super common here on MFP. Calorie dense foods will be your friends.. and even logging and tracking if you have to in order to keep you on track and make sure you are eating enough and hitting your goal. It is a lot of food because you are adding anywhere from 200-600cals (depending on the age of baby and how much they eat) to an already heavy calorie load.

It can definitely be work to make sure I get my calorie intake, thank goodness I love food! This app is really helping me.
