I'm a mom of two (one is two months and the other is two years next week) and I would love to lose about 20lbs rather quickly without affecting my milk supply. I definitely need some motivation and any advice that anyone is willing to offer!

    Not many are able to lose weight quickly while breastfeeding successfully. By dropping your calories too much you risk dropping your milk supply too, which may be hard to build back up. My advice is to wait until your youngest has started solids to make any serious changes. For now I would keep your deficit at a pound or half per week. Good luck!

    I am also looking to loose while breastfeeding and would like motivation and support. Maybe we can friend each other and support each other through newsfeed daily? I know this will be hard! I've set some challenging goals but having others moms to share the experience would be helpful! We can add each other on the myfitnesspal app using each other's email. Find me at meghan.m.mcginty@gmail.com.
