I'm new and using mfp to monitor my calories and log my exercise. So far I've lost 5lbs doing this but losing the last 10lbs of pregnancy weight while breastfeeding is hard!! My body just seems to hold on to the weight. I'm almost 5 months postpartum...anyone else here have any tips for getting these extra pounds off while breastfeeding? I would really like to fit in my regular jeans before the cold weather hits GA.

    I am in the same situation. I am now 9 months PP and I have way more than 10 pounds to lose. I am also still breastfeeding but only parttime as my little guy is now eating solids. I dont know if you have noticed but it seems like my milk supply goes way down if I ry to eat a lot less so I am trying to really eat healthy and make all of my calories count. Good Luck to you, sorry I do not have any great tips. If you find something that works let me know.

    Welcome, there's a thread on here that has others who are trying to lose the baby weight and you may be interested in joining it. I can't think of the name-maybe someone else will know. Best wishes!
