    I have a 10 month old and am still breastfeeding, I've been doing MFP since she was about 7 months. I started "watching" my diet shortly after I introduced solid foods since I figured that would make up for the lower milk supply. She's doing great, gaining lots of weight, and it hasn't affected her at all. I've lost all of my baby weight and an additional 15 pounds since she was born... so I actually weigh LESS now that I did before I was pregnant!

    Oops, I just realized I made a comment earlier under my husband's profile (adamarker11382).... I COMPLETELY cracked up when I saw that comment next to his picture! In between belly laughs, I yelled across the room, "Adam! Come here, you're gonna kill me!!!" Also, I meant to post that comment in reply to someone else's question about milk supply, but apparently I didn't post it the right way... oh well... but anyways, the pics look absolutely fantastic!!!

    You look phenomenal, great job. You are far more disciplined then I was postpartum. I am just kicking it into high gear now that my little guy is 2.5 yrs. I stayed at 20 lbs lost for the longest time and got really sick of it. I am now at 26 lbs lost after 4 wks. Your success is motivating to me.

    Thanks again everyone.

    And for the person who asked about how I got my stomach down, I was on a high fiber diet, I did lots of cardio at first to get rid of the fat then added resistance training.

    I have a 7 month old I'm breastfeedning. I just started him on baby foods and I started "watching" what I am eating. I have been worried it is decreasing my supply. Around how many calories did you lower to?

    wow you sprung back fast!! Simply amazing!! Thanks for your story! It's very encouraging!! I do have one question. Since your still breastfeeding, with a 1200 calorie intake did you notice a change in your breast milk capacity and or was baby as satisfied. I'm curious because i'm trying to get pregnant again and if your able to cut calories and still breast feed that would be encouraging!!

    Actually, my baby is breast and bottle fed. This wasn't because of my 1200 calorie a day diet though, it was because I had to go back to work. My BMR is only 1350 calories, so 1200 calories is almost the same thing. The big change was the "type" of foods I was eating and how frequently I ate. I also found a really great vegetable based (all natural) multi vitamin, its made by a company called "Real Food" and sold at GNC.

    Makes sense!! My BMR is 1518 so i definatley know i can breastfeed at still have 1500 calories! Great to know!! Congrats to you and your baby too!!

    I tell people to remember the formula = approximately 3500 calories burned = 1 pound lost.

    I'd advise you to first calculate your BMR and determine how much you plan to exercise before you decide to do the 1200 calorie a day thing. (hope this helps) Good Luck

    and THANK YOU EVERYONE for your kinds words, this is such an AMAZING COMMUNITY!!
