    Hi, I'm here to provide support and motivation. I notice you are said your breast feeding and your caloric intake is 1300. When you're breast-feeding you should consume approximately 500 calories above your pre-pregnancy diet each day. This may be the reason your weight is fluctuating and your not seeing the weight loss as quick as you would like, because your body is trying to compensate for the calorie deficit. Try increasing your calorie intake to 1700 and see what happens. Good luck and stay positive!
