    Hey Everyone! I just had my second daughter just over 3 months ago and have decided to start trying to lose weight! I'm going to aim to workout about 3 times a week! I went to the freedieting website and it says I should be consuming 2093 calories while breastfeeding and that was with 3 workouts a week! MFP has me at 1480 calories a day and I came in way under that today... guess I'm not eating enough for workingout and breastfeeding! Thanks for sharing that link!!

    Anyone feel free to Add me!

    Also remember that MFP does not account for breastfeeding, so you should be adding 500 to your 1480.

    I'm a bf mom also, I'm eating 1800 calories a day and I've noticed that I've been losing weight just because I changed my eating habits. I drink lots and lots of water and I've noticed my supply has been good. I'm was told not to lose more then 3 pounds a week because of the milk. I have a 5 month old baby boy so I need my milk for awhile longer!
