in Health and Weight Loss
I have my net calorie goal set at 1800, I'm nursing an 11 month old who eats solids 3x/day but also still nurses probably around 5x/day. My goal is to lose about 1lb/week. I workout about 1/2/day, not super intensely, but I do run around ALOT with the kids. MFP had my goal at 1400 and I would add in the breastfeeding (it would subtract 500 calories, so I really had 1900 to work with) but it seemed easier to just up my goal and not worry about adding in the breastfeeding everyday. Does this seem too high/low? I want to make sure I'm eating enough, but I'd really like to start taking a little of the baby weight off too!

    That's pretty much what I eat daily. It seems good. See how it goes for a while, be sure your weighing and measuring every thing you eat. Weighing accurately is so important. And see how it goes after a month or so. Your ticker shows that you don't have lots to lose in the first place, so even .5 lb a week loss would be great!#
