    Thanks again everyone.

    And for the person who asked about how I got my stomach down, I was on a high fiber diet, I did lots of cardio at first to get rid of the fat then added resistance training.

    I have a 10 month old and am still breastfeeding, I've been doing MFP since she was about 7 months. I started "watching" my diet shortly after I introduced solid foods since I figured that would make up for the lower milk supply. She's doing great, gaining lots of weight, and it hasn't affected her at all. I've lost all of my baby weight and an additional 15 pounds since she was born... so I actually weigh LESS now that I did before I was pregnant!

    I have a 7 month old I'm breastfeedning. I just started him on baby foods and I started "watching" what I am eating. I have been worried it is decreasing my supply. Around how many calories did you lower to?

    wow you sprung back fast!! Simply amazing!! Thanks for your story! It's very encouraging!! I do have one question. Since your still breastfeeding, with a 1200 calorie intake did you notice a change in your breast milk capacity and or was baby as satisfied. I'm curious because i'm trying to get pregnant again and if your able to cut calories and still breast feed that would be encouraging!!

    Actually, my baby is breast and bottle fed. This wasn't because of my 1200 calorie a day diet though, it was because I had to go back to work. My BMR is only 1350 calories, so 1200 calories is almost the same thing. The big change was the "type" of foods I was eating and how frequently I ate. I also found a really great vegetable based (all natural) multi vitamin, its made by a company called "Real Food" and sold at GNC.

    Makes sense!! My BMR is 1518 so i definatley know i can breastfeed at still have 1500 calories! Great to know!! Congrats to you and your baby too!!

    I tell people to remember the formula = approximately 3500 calories burned = 1 pound lost.

    I'd advise you to first calculate your BMR and determine how much you plan to exercise before you decide to do the 1200 calorie a day thing. (hope this helps) Good Luck

    and THANK YOU EVERYONE for your kinds words, this is such an AMAZING COMMUNITY!!

    ugh! this is a positivity OVERLOAD! LOL!

    You guys are GREAT, thanks so much for the nice words, its hard to keep up with everyone.

    I actually have a Postpartum Weight Loss diary on my website: http://www.mariamore.com

    As far as the stomach flab questions, I think the BIGGEST part of my success was that I didn't wait long after my pregnancy to start working out. The longer you wait, the harder it is to get off. My suggestion for getting your tummy toned is 1) High Fiber Diet 2) Cardio to get the access fat down around your mid section 3) Ab focused workouts to tone/condition your core.

    I will post some sample meal plans when I get home tonight...you can also friend me, it would probably be easier to get you the information that way.

    THANK YOU AGAIN! I am very humbled and grateful for your kind words EVERYONE!

    I think it really depends on how much of a pouch you have. Some people that gain quite a bit of weight with their pregnancy may require surgery (tummy tuck) to get it back to how it was since there was so much stretching. Also, having multiples can sometimes cause extreme stretching of the stomach (think Kate Plus 8). I would do alot of cardio to see how much you can get rid of and then tone to see how it affects you as the original poster had said. Toning last though cause you wont see the results of your efforts of toning as much if you have a lot fat around your middle.
