Breast feeding momma

BFing here, too. I started Monday with 2000 as my goal, no exercise (just to see what happened to my supply)...I totally killed my supply. I'm eating enough, but I guess what I was eating to now was just a big jump (embarrassing) my milk stalled.
I will happily give support if you have any tips on how to keep supply up!

Looking for friends please add me. Exclusively nursing my 8 week old and needing to lose 50lbs. Want to do do without effecting my milk supply.

I'm gonna add you mamas. I'm exclusively bf'ing my 4 week old right now. I lost all my pregnancy weight, but want to lose the 15 lbs I gained before getting pregnant to get back to what I was when I successfully lost before. I'm trying to lessen my calories, I was eating too much, but focus more on healthy eating since I was eating all junk and adding in some exercise. I started over since I no longer have access to my email that was linked to my last account.

Hi ladies! I'm exclusively breastfeeding my little girl, who will be 4 months tomorrow. It's hard finding a balance between eating enough and not eating too much. I'm wanting to get back to pre pregnancy weight but finding it harder to do this time around.

Baby #4 is 2.5 months and EBF. I have 20 lbs to lose. I'm on day 5 of Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I'm trying to eat better and I'm starting Couch to 5K on Monday. I plan to run 3 days a week, and do Jillian michaels workouts the other 3 days, taking a break on Sunday's. I don't think it's a bad thing to count calories while nursing, just don't cut them to an extreme and choose better options, good calories/protein. You can also eat things like oatmeal with fruit and choose water as both are known to help your supply.

Hi gals! Im still breastfeeding my 1 yr old. Ive never been a fan of "dieting" but if you just make sure that what you are eating is nutrient rich you can cut down the amount your eating, and feel full. Try to remember that it took 9 months for your body to get there, give it atleast that long to come back. Dont be too hard on yourselves. One thing to remember is that your body will always feed your baby first, so it will pull the nutrients to continue your milk supply from your body. So eat when your hungry, eat high nutrient density foods and stay very hydrated. Things that can affect your milk supply are birth control pills and antihistamines. Hope this helps! Mommy bodies are beautiful!

Hi ladies! I nursed my youngest for 2 years. He weaned last year but I can definitely say, put your supply first. Be mindful of that diaper count.

If you are cutting calories, count how many wet diapers baby is having, http://kellymom.com/bf/got-milk/supply-worries/enough-milk/ as long as baby's count is good, you are good. Oatmeal and lots of water will keep those supplies up.

Main thing, just eat healthy, be active and love on those babies!

Hello, I am also an exclusively Breastfeeding mom, to a 5 month old daughter. I am looking to lose about 50 lbs and would love some new friends to help motivate me! I go to a stroller fitness class 4 times a week and yoga once a week. I am a healthy eater in general, but I am trying to watch what I eat better and push myself during workouts a little more to start getting back in shape while keeping my supply up. If I notice a supply drop I am going to start pumping once a day to battle it. Feel free to add me!

I'm breastfeeding my 8 week old as exclusively as my body will let me. I'm fighting supply issues due to hypothyroid problems that the doctor doesn't want to treat me for

As such, I very conscious of my supply. I'm also very conscious of my waist line as it has grown in the last few weeks. I'm having a lot of trouble finding the balance and being okay being huge. (I am huge, it's fact, not a put down.)

I'm still nursing my 12 month old! I finally feel ok counting calories and losing weight. I tried twice before and my supply totally tanked, and I would like to wean soonish anyway, so I'm not worried about my supply at this point.

I gained about 25 pounds from nursing!!! So embarrassing!

Is there a breastfeeding group? I'm also nursing, my son is 6 months old and I want to start losing the baby weight (about 35 lbs) but I'm very concerned about my supply. I've set my calorie goal at 1800 per day and will see what happens and adjust as needed.

Looking for help/tips/support. I know you aren't supposed to hard core diet while breast feeding, but I'd still like to see some weight loss. I lost 20lbs right off the bat. Now I'd like to lose at least another 15 lbs. I'm focusing on meal portion control right now as I know that even for breast feeding i was consuming far too many calories. Exercise is currently though to fit in with this cold winter weather we are having. I'm looking forward to the summer when I can take the stroller out for long walks!

I'm a bf mom trying to lose weight as well! Looking for more support too! My first goal is to be under 160 (my prepregnancy weight. I have 11 lbs to go!) then I'm trying to get under 130. I haven't been under 130 since I got married about 8.5 years ago! Feel free to add me and share your goals! Good luck!

Breastfeeding a 4 month old...Add me too please.
