I started MFP almost 4 weeks ago and can't believe how much success I have had in such a short period of time! I had my second son in May 2012 and have steadily lost the 40 lbs I gained but couldn't seem to shake those last 20 lbs. So far with MFP I've lost 10 lbs and now I only have 10 more to go!! I started out at 140 lbs (I'm 5' 2") and now I'm around 129-130 (YAY!!!) I am breastfeeding an 8 month old so I still have a big appetite, but the app on my phone helps me to make healthy choices to get the most out of my calories!!

    That would be great!! I've been a "go to" for many new mothers on breastfeeding and it has been very enriching to help :) There just isn't enough info and support out there for new moms and sometimes they just don't know the benefits of breastfeeding, etc.

    Thank you!!
