... I'm looking for a few friends in a similar situation :D
My little one is 2 years old and I have about 40 more pounds to go (can stand to lose a few more beyond that ;))
We can support each other!

    Sounds like me. ^_^ My little is 'round the bend from two, on his way to three. Still nursing, looking to lose another about 60# or so, depending.

    I have a 2 year old and an 8 month old. I breastfeed my 8 month old. I started out with about 60 pounds to lose and I have lost 32! You can add me or I will just add you!

    My daughter just turned a year this past week and is still nursing. My ticker shows 20 lbs to go, but that's just to pre-pregnancy weight, I eventually want to lose at least 10 lbs more! Weight loss has been so much harder for me while nursing than it was before :(

    Much harder for me, too. While I was pregnant, I lost something like 40-50#. Just being pregnant. I went into pregnancy at 230, dropped to 210 within two weeks, and didn't budge from there until I delivered at 42w. Once I got home, I was about 175-180, it was a fabulous start! Of course, within eight weeks, I'd gained ALL of it back, so... Who knows. (This is also why it hacks me off when people say "well how long did it take you to put that weight on?" like it's supposed to be comforting to know it's coming off faster or something XD )

    I'm so excited to see some EBF mamas! WOOHOO!!

    Wow, thank you for all of the replies!! I have 3 little ones, and it has been so hard for me to lose weight while breastfeeding. My younger 2 are closer in age and I never even weaned the middle child until I was well along in my pregnancy with the youngest, lol... so NO weight loss there. Now I'm ready to do it!

    Thanks for the support, please feel free to send me a friend request too!
