I bf my son exclusively until he was 6 months old, now he's 10 months and he eats solids like a champ along with the bfing.
I was already overweight when I got pregnant and then gained 30lbs throughout the pregnancy. I lost about 15lbs immediately after he was born and then felt so thrown off and ate poorly and gained 5 of that back until I realized that enough is enough! My husband and I hopped on the healthy train and got gym memberships and I started counting calories when my son was about 5 months old. For the first couple of weeks I was supply issues but it was a stupid mistake I was making - I wasn't eating back the calories that I was burning with my workouts. Once I started doing that my supply was back to normal and I continued to shed weight pretty consistently. I've lost 43lbs total so far! Looking to lose another 20 or so, but it's really slowed down.
Enjoying all the extra energy I have!0 -
I need motivation and friends, too! Bfing my 11 month old and finding it hard to stay on track. I lose weight when I watch what I'm eating, so I know how to do it, I just can't stay doing it. Wanting to lose 40 lbs by end of summer. Help me stay motivated and I'll help you, too! :-)0

Just a note if it's not already been shared... A nursing Mom needs to eat 300cals more a day to compensate for cals burned for nursing. You can just do it as a quick calorie add on.0

Hi all, Super job ladys! I managed to feed my youngest till he was 19 months old. Just to also factor in not to forget they have growth spurts, I found I lost more on those weeks when he was having a spurt, even though I was hungrier! I lost loads in the first 4 months..although hes no longer bf as hes 3.5, i have put some one again opps. Keep up the wonderful job xx0

When I was nursing and felt like my supply dwindled, I started eating oatmeal every day!! And I drank "oatmeal tea" - boil like 3-4 cups of water, add a handful of oatmeal and let it cook down, then drain the water off the oatmeal into a cup. It taste just like you would think it should, but at times has a thicker consistency. I added a little brown sugar to mine too. The combination of the protein and the fiber in the oatmeal along with the added water from the "tea" picked my supply right up! And if all else fails, add a pumping session to ramp supply back up. Yes its hard, its always going to be hard...Read http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants this will help sum up healthy weight loss, and as another poster mentioned, you only need to add about 300 cals/day to maintain supply. Just try to make good choices and get the most bang for your cal buck!...good luck ladies, you can do it!!0

I've just sent invites to a few more of you! The more the merrier! So far I'm really struggling to make healthier food choices... But I know I'll get there! And I added 500 cals to my target, so I won't have issues with milk supply.0

I found a few recipes and made one. Not to bad... Better warm!
