    Welcome and good luck! Have you lost weight more quickly with breastfeeding? I remember that with both of mine the quick weight loss stalled right around 9 months and I had to actually start exercising! It totally sucked!!!

    I wish I did! I just really monitored my calories and stopped thinking of breastfeeding as a calorie burn (which was a sad adjustment for me). I also stopped eating the lunches that I was making for my toddler. How old is your oldest?

    Mine are now 3 1/2 and 2. I have an old picture for my profile :) Yeah, I just didn't put that I was nursing because it is just so different than when you are nursing exclusively (before solids). I think I said that my lifestyle was more active to account for the nursing (so that I could have some extra calories).
