Thanks for that suggestion! I just had my 2nd child 9 weeks ago and am finding it hard to loose the weight without restricting calories as well. With my first child, i started working out and restricting calories a little around 9 months and saw a dramatic decrease in my milk supply, so I'm trying to avoid that. I will put breastfeeding under the exercise part as well to account for them. Thanks for the suggestions!

Baby #2 is turning 6 months on Monday. I never lost weight while nursing and have to be careful not to affect my supply, but now I'm ready to really put the effort as we get closer to weaning. Feel free to add me, I'm just jumping back in and need motivation!

Hi just joined here too!! Have a 12 week old and I'm looking to slowly lose without losing my milk too. This baby number 2 and j never fully lost all the weight from my first because I got pregnant again! Feel free to add me too! Let's support each other!

Hi! Everyone feel free to add me as a friend too. Baby #2 just turned 8 months. I initially counted the breast feeding as 500 calories but noticed that I started losing more weight when I only used about 300-400 of those calories. Make sure to drink a lot of water to avoid a drop in milk supply. I have also noticed a temporary drop in my supply when I drink caffeine.

Now that my son is eating a lot of food and nursing less, I have decided not to count any extra calories for breast feeding. I lost motivation over the past month, so I am hoping to get back on track now. I have 10-15 more pounds to lose and I am nervous about gaining weight back when we start to really wean the breast feeding in the next few months. Between work, a 4 year old, and a baby who is not the best sleeper, I have had the hardest time finding the time and energy to exercise, but I know that will be the key moving forward. Good luck, everyone!

Hi. I'm breast feeding my 12 week old and back to work, so now pumping. I've lost 10 pounds so far but have another 10 to go. I'd love more friends too.
There is also a breastfeeding support group on here that would love more members.

I'm a nursing mom too. Just had my 1st on Feb 16th. Was cleared to start exercising. I'm exclusively breastfeeding and will pump when I go back to work in a few weeks. Right now I have no supply issues and I want to keep it that way. I'm hungry all the time since breastfeeding and crave sweets.

I'm nursing my 5 month old 2nd child & need to lose last 12 lbs... I've lost about 37 already just breastfeeding, chasing my older child (3 yr old) & eating better but not really tracking. I really want to banish these last few lbs, especially since everything is so much more stretched out this time

Hi! Im nursing my 8 month old, and still trying to loose weight. ive lost 20 so far and have 25 to go. I've had a bit of success so far but kinda got sidetracked for a while. For me one of the most important things had been really making sure that I drink enough water yo maintain my milk supply. Feel free to add me. I love the motivation from friends

I just tried to add you mamas as friends. I'm slowly dropping pumps/daytime feeds, so far I haven't noticed any change in weight...guess I'll give it some time.
