Hello! I'm just getting back on here after taking a yearlong hiatus while pregnant and having a baby. I am currently nursing a 4 month old very big, very fast-growing boy! Now i'm ready to get back on track but could use some other encouraging Momma-friends to help me stick with it and enjoy a healthier lifestyle!!

how big is your little guy? My son was 19 lbs, 12.5 oz at his 4 month appointment, he's a giant! This week (5 weeks old) he was 21.5 lbs. Time to switch to the convertible car seat!0

Omigosh, What a healthy, growing boy you have! Yes, I was just thinking about when I will need to switch car seats because the seat belt is already getting snug on his infant one. He was 16 pounds (90th percentile for height as well) when he had a 3 month doc appointment which was a month ago. So I'm guessing at least a couple pounds more, around 18??. Especially judging from how hard its getting to lug him around too ;-) Feel free to add me as a friend!0

Hi I am just thinking about loosing the baby weight too. I have a 4 month old girl, weighing 18lbs wanting fed lots. And that sweetie cupboard is just too tempting after a night of no sleep! . I also have a 3 year old when after him the weight fell off as was able to go out for long walks everyday, but he is reluctant to walk for that long or at any great speed. He does help me do my exercises tho by counting or sitting on my feet! I'm trying to do a couple of 5 min work outs everyday, which isn't always possible! Just want to make sure I'm still making enough fatty milk for her.0

Hi! I agree on keeping that milk supply up, eating healthy, and finding time to exercise with two little ones is super tough! Good on you for getting back in the ring! Any minute here or there counts! Feel free to add me as a friend :-)0

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! This is good motivation for me. I LOVE hearing people say that they are breastfeeding AND maintaining a healthy lifestyle AND reaching their goals. I'll add you as a breastfeeding support friend :happy:0

I've got a 4 month old little boy as well. I was hoping this weight would just fall off with breastfeeding but not so. I'm trying to be healthy and get in shape! Good luck.0

Hello. I also have a big guy. He was 26lbs at his yearly, but he was close to yours at that time too. He grew so fast at first, I think 4lbs the first couple months, crazy. Anyway he is 13 months old. I currently only pump, and I am thinking about weaning but am still going. I still have 20lbs to lose though

Yesterday I was starving and husband was late home for dinner so kept picking was only just on my goal due to having went for a walk during the day. Today decided to cook lots while the big one was at nursery and little on in the sling, oatcakes are meant to help with milk and fill you up so that was today's snack of choice.
I hate pumping so well done for keeping going with that!0 -
Glad to hear that he is a healthy, growing boy! And that's great that you have breastfed as long as you have! My first kiddo only made it to six months. I'm really hoping to make it longer with my second little guy. The calories in/out philosophy is tough when breastfeeding. Feel free to add me as a friend!0

Cooking with a little one in the sling is a workout in and of itself! What exactly are oatcakes?0

Hi, I have a 4 month old little boy as well.I also have 3 other children. This is my fourth child breastfeeding. I would love to have more friends that breastfeed like me on MFP.0

Looking for some friends too - I've added some of you! I gained 40 pounds while breastfeeding my first son, now breastfeeding my second - 5 months old - and hoping to finally start losing some of the weight.0

I am also new to the group! I have a 4.5 month old and am now back at work full time but with flexible hours. I am trying to rediscover that work/family balance! Feel free to add me!0

Feel free to add me! I'm breastfeeding my almost 8 month old daughter. She's also a very big baby. She's almost 22 lbs and has definitely outgrown her infant seat. My husband it out picking up a new seat right now. 0

I am currently nursing my 14 mo. old son. He is my second; I nursed my first for a year, and hope to go until at least 18 mo. with this one. Please feel free to add me. I would love to have some extra support, and would love to be supportive as well.0

Hello, Ladies! I've sent you all friend requests.
I am currently nursing my (almost) 10 month old. I gained about 40 pounds while pregnant and didn't come home from the hospital much lighter than when I went in! 10 months later I'm finally ready to start getting my body back! My son was 17 lbs and 27.5" at his 9 month appointment. He's a peanut but that's to be expected since I'm only 5'1" and hubby is 5'6". I started tracking calories a little over a week ago and am down 7 lbs!! I'd like to lose another 25-30 lbs and gain a whole bunch of muscle.0 -
Nursing a 18 month old here....I've lost my baby weight (I didn't have much to lose) but I got pregnant on the higher side of my weight anyways...yay....so i'm still struggling...it's hard to find a balance when you're starving all the time...
I work full time, still pump at work, nurse on demand and through the night....GOOD TIMES!!! I wouldn't trade it for anything, but i would love to lose between 20 and 30 pounds.... HALP!!!0 -
I'm right there with ya!! I need some motivation! My second is 2 months and my first is 2 years next week. 0

I'm bfing my 16mo old and just starting to be more active and lose weight. i'm a single mama so I have to find ways to include the adorable little troll face in my adventures. we have always done a lot of walking and hike but i have recently started jogging.
It's had to know the balance of cutting enough calories to lose weigh,but keep it high enough for supply.
Glad you're all here for support.0 -

Who would oppose a mother feeding her baby. That's horrible. you're doing your best for baby. If there are no medical issues to interfere with nursing, and you are doing well as far as mental and emotional health, then keep going. screw em'. you are a so strong mama. you're doing great.
If you have any questions or need more support check out Le Leche League (LLL) and find a group in your area. or, the website kellymom.com has a ton of helpful info from A-Z
Bfing can be really awkward to start, just between you and baby, to find your comfortable positions. follow your instincts.0 -
@ldrosophilia - Also, to add to foxytrotter82, if you are on Facebook check out the page "Breast is Best". They have been so helpful for me.0

I'm nursing my third baby who is 3.5months - I nursed her brother until he was 2. I've lost all my pregnancy weight but am still carrying an extra 20- 30lbs from before I had babies. I don't seem to lose easily while nursing but I really want to drop the weight.0

Hello!
So great to see all the great support!
I'm breastfeeding my 3-month baby boy. I just started using the MyFitnessPal app and I'm looking for moms to join me and become friends on the app to share and motivate each other via the newsfeed. If you are interested, add me using my email, meghan.m.mcginty@gmail.com. I really need the support and motivation! I hope to see you there! Thank you!
A little about my fitness goals. My top priority is a healthy milk supply for my little guy. I also want to fit into my favorite jeans and feel good about my fitness ASAP. My goal is to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, 120 lbs. I'm currently weighing 138lbs. I'd like to loose 1-1.5 lbs per week. I have very little opportunity for exercise so I'm counting calories. The app determined I'm allowed 1200 calories and I add 500 calories for breastfeeding. I just started but could use the shared experience to motivate me. Thank you again!
