    Good Morning, I am new to the site as well. Just had baby #2. She is 11 weeks old. I am a nursing mom so I am trying to figure out if I should just add 300 calories to the numbers they are giving to stay healthy. I pray this works because I don't want to go pay the WW people.

    Welcome! I have a 4 month old daughter, too. I signed up for this about a month ago, and I love it so far! I am BF so losing the weight kind of slowly, I give myself 500 extra calories a day. It has been working, though! Good luck!

    Aleaglin- If you are exclusively BF, you can look up breastfeeding under food and add the calories to your diary daily, that's what I do. Hope that helps!

    HI! My daughter is 2 1/2 and i haven't lost my weight yet because I gave up trying in a delusion that I would bounce back to a size 6 right after she was born! Needless to say, I'm on a mission to get rid of the baby weight and some! Don't ever give up no matter what set backs or obstacles you may face during your journey! You can do this WE ALL CAN if we put our mind to it and stay consistent each and every day!

    I actually used to live in the DC/MD area. i grew up in Takoma Park, Md and have been in the South since college!

    Good luck and God bless we are in it together :)

    You are doing the right thing. That boot camp is serious. I did one and it was great. I only did two weeks (for financial reasons) but it will definitely get you going. I am sure you will have alot of success.
