    I'm still pregnant and trying to get back into the habit of keeping track to it feels natural again. I'm planning on breastfeeding and will be induced on Monday.

    I'd love to be friends, we can never have too much encouragement and support. In this case someone who'll be going throw the same thing.

    Hello to you both- I am currently pregnant (due April 21) and plan on breast feeding, try to lose the baby weight (plus my own weight) and build more muscle. Feel free to friend me either of you and Hischell - good luck on Monday!

    I'm 7 weeks post partum! Add me. I need encouragement to stay on track. I'm worried about restricting too much because I don't want to affect my supply.

    Ftm to a 9 week old! Exclusively breastfeeding, tracking food now to see what foods might be upsetting his lil tummy. Any weight loss without affecting milk supply will be a super happy awesome bonus!

    I'm 3 weeks postpartum and breastfeeding. I haven't lost any weight since delivering. Kind of depressing but it is what it is. I'm looking for other breastfeeding moms to add as support/motivation. :-)

    Hello Everyone,
    I am new mom my baby is 7 months and I nurse at nights and pump during the day. I am noticing a change in supply so I still pump and have used soy formula when my baby is still hungry. Has anyone noticed a drop in supply?

    I just started today but I've heard of supply decreasing if not careful with calories, hydration and type of exercise.

    You got this! Just drink mothers aid tea to help keep supply up. I have had no issues with supply lowering due to exercise.

    I can admit when I started slacking on eating myself out of being busy with my son and we'll keeping up with the house and well keeping others happy. ( I know I know but idk I'm a but of a people pleaser) anyway point is my milk supply dropped and it was hard to pump anything at all after breastfeeding. So I kinda started well taking care of myself like I did while pregnant.

    I don't think the exercise will affect it, unless your sweating so much your dehydrated
