    I would do one of the top two first ones. Do you spend some of your cleaning,cooking and running around with your child? Then put the second one that's what I put and I'm a stay at home mom with a 2 year old. Hope this helps. Good luck!

    Are you breastfeeding? I can't answer (no kids) but I know other ladies here say they need more calories when breastfeeding.

    I changed it but the calories stayed the same....
    the reson i think i need more calories is because i wasn't losing any weight, but i went out of town and i was eating a little more and lost weight. so I don't know...:huh:

    oh and im not breast feeding.

    I know it sound odd but you have to eat to lose. It looks like you weren’t eating enough so you were not losing. You ate a little more and you lost.
    Keep up the good work. :flowerforyou:
