    Wow this is really encouraging!! My son is 2 months old and I am just starting to exercise again. I gained about 65 pounds. Any tips? I am nursing and wondering how to adjust my calories on here so my milk supply doesn't diminish. I have about 25 to lose, the rest of it dropped quickly, but lately the scale isn't moving. I know it has only been 8 weeks

    I'm a nursing mum too... I read a really interesting article a few days ago here: http://babyfit.sparkpeople.com/articles.asp?id=991

    "For women having trouble losing weight while breastfeeding, the problem isn't that they're eating too much. More often, they're eating insufficient calories. Cutting calories while breastfeeding prompts the body to think it is starving, thus slowing down your metabolism. Though it seems counterintuitive, eating more calories will actually facilitate weight loss while breastfeeding."

    You can actually track your breastfeeding calorie burn here. It's under breastfeeding in the food database. I agree with the above poster too. Be careful not to undereat right now. Lack of calories can also cause your milk supply to decrease. Hang in there! :)

    What a great thread! I was at my heaviest ever when I discovered I was pregnant last year. Now, 4 months after my daughter was born, I'm thirty pounds heavier than that and I'm ready to drop it all. I can't wait to add my pics to this thread :) Keep up the great work everyone!!!

    There is this lady, Diane, who has had 7 kids and she went from 300lbs + to a very fit and trim 140ish. Have your friend check out her blog/website at www.fittothefinish.com It is truly amazing, she inspires me so much!
