Hi I am a first time breast feeder, but I also want to get into shape and lose that stubborn baby weight. It would be nice to know I am not alone. And that there are others that bf as well as work out. Feel free to add me or talk to me. Could use the support

    Yes ma'am, 3rd time breastfeeder of my 14 month old. Still carrying all my weight from baby #1 though. :/ Well, not all because I've finally managed to lose some! :)

    Hello!!
    I have an (almost) 18 month old little boy who is still nursing. Back when I was exclusively breastfeeding, I lost a bunch of weight with very little effort. As of today, I am smaller by 20 lbs than I was pre-pregnancy!

    If you need any support, weight loss or breastfeeding, I am always here!

    Yep, I'm also a breast feeding mommy! Just had baby #3 a few weeks ago and am already jumping back into exercise (I got the green light from my doc to do workouts I did while pregnant). Just make sure to eat PLENTY if you're both BF and exercising as you'll be burning A TON of calories. Also remember your body tends to hold onto 5-7lbs of fat as a reserve for milk production. It's not uncommon to not lose it until you finish, so don't get discouraged!

    Keep up the great work, mamas!

    I wish OP all the best of luck in getting off the baby weight. For me it was extremely difficult with my first until I stopped bfing but I have been able to lose weight in the past few months while still bfing my 22 month old.

    I still breastfeeding my just recently turned 2 yr old. She is our fourth and final and has hung on to "her babas" the longest. :) Losing weight while breastfeeding is challenging because you need to be sure to eat enough and drink enough to keep your supply up. I have taken a gradual weight loss approach with this kiddo and I know once I lose I won't have to worry about more pregnancy weight gain to lose. I have just hit the 50 pound mark today and am 5 pounds from 137 my pre pregnancy weight. Anyone can feel free to add me as a friend.
