    I'm breastfeeding my almost 4 month old. I've got about 9 pounds to go. I'm one of the "Lucky" moms who gain in the 50 pound range when pregnant. My goal is to lose 5 pounds in February and March. I already lost more than 5 pounds this month and I'm trying to do it at a slightly slower pace so I still feel good. (I got a food scale and it turns out I was underestimating my calories by about 30%) I love exercise when I can get it. I have a 2 year old as well.

    I'm struggling with all of this as well! I posted a question but have found your thread, as well as a few others super helpful. My son is just shy of 4 months old. I am struggling to lose the baby weight and I am exclusively breastfeeding him. Please feel free to add me as a friend. I would love to have more mom friends on here. :)

    Hey all!

    I just saw this on the main page and thought I'd chime in as a formerly BFing mom (I weaned my younger son last May). I was part of a breastfeeding group on here, but when I finally found the link, it didn't work. I worry that it might now be defunct, but I believe there may be others.

    ETA that the point of my post was to say that you might want to search the groups for BFing ;)

    So I've only been nursing for 5 weeks and I'd like to lose the 49lbs I've put on this pregnancy. I could use all the support I could get seeing that I have no idea where to start especially since I'm nursing and I delivered via c section.

    I just posted another discussion about this. I am new to this page. I have a 16 month old that I breast feed with no supplementing. Only water and home made juice. I added 300 calories to my counter so I wasn't starving myself.
