Anybody else currently trying to loose weight while nursing? I'd love to add some friends in the same boat that I'm in. I have quite a bit of weight I'd like to loose beyond the weight I gained while pregnant. I have an (almost) four year old and a seven week old. Please feel free to add me, even if you aren't currently nursing!

Nursing my 8 month old. We just started solids over the past month, so I'm not sure what sort of effect that will have. Still have 25lbs to lose and its been a painfully slow process! lol (gained 55lbs and have to work really hard to drop anything).0

I need some MFP mommy friends I'm nursing a 6.5 month old, just started solids. I'm -20 lbs pre-pregnancy weight just by ebf but I have at least 60 more lbs I would like to lose still so trying this out now! I have found a good calorie estimator for nursing moms since MFP doesn't have that option and then I just adjusted my goal on MFP accordingly.0

Nursing a 3 week old, need to lose 30+lbs. I don't remember having the munchies this bad when nursing my first! Definitely making things difficult!0

Nursing my 6 week old and having a really difficult time making peace with my body as it is right now and I seemed to have reached a point where I'm not losing any more weight. It is really difficult not fitting into clothes and seeing myself with the extra weight and lack of muscke tone. Compared to how I use to be I feel like an invalid and a weakling. It is difficult for me to not feel hopeless about getting into any sort of in shape condition and It feels like my body is just holding onto these last 15ish pounds.

I'm nursing my 5m old. I feel like I take a few steps forward and a few steps back. I'm fine for a few weeks and lose 3 lbs then I go off track and gain back 2. I'm frustrated because I've lost pregnancy weight before (1 was easier than 2 and 2 was way easier than now). I'm frustrated at the gym because some stuff is so hard for me and I don't remember it being that hard. I gained weight during a move and never lost it so I started this pregnancy higher than normal. 15 lbs to pre pregnancy weight but another 20 lbs to get to where I should be.0

I am nursing my 9 week old. Just started to look at attacking my weight. I lost my pregnancy weight in 2 weeks but have now gained half a stone. I was already over weight before pregnancy so have about 4 stone to lose. Add me if you like x0

I'm feeding my 4.5 month old and properly started about a month ago to try to lose the baby weight. 10lbs down since he was born!
It seems such a long process! Anyone feel free to add me, any motivation between us all will help! I have another 13lb to get to pre pregnancy and 27lb in total to reach my own goal 0 -
my LO is almost 3mos. I gained 23lbs during pregnancy, I'm 13lbs down from my birth weight & have been hovering here since the first weeks. ~25lbs left to lose to reach my current goal weight.
I have read that mos 4-6 are when moms notice weight loss from BFing- it just seems like it's going to be impossible considering I feel more hungry now than I EVER was during pregnancy. I have no problem eating clean- i'm just eating so much! I'm also terrified to begin a full fitness program since LO is not remotely close to sleeping through the night. I don't know if my patchy sleep will be enough to allow the body to recover & I don't want to risk exhaustion. I'm still not fitting into any of my pp clothes because i'm still shaped pregnant. Anyone else have those fears/issues? 0 -
andFrame, I know exactly what you mean! I am hungrier than ever but have been trying to increase the amount I drink and staying busy to avoid just eating all the time. It's frustrating not fitting into any pre-preg clothes, especially when friends with 6mo babies are saying their pre-preg clothes are now too big!! Nevermind... one day we will get there too!!0

My daughter is 3.5 months. I've been back at work for about a month (nursing at night, pumping during the day). I had lost my pregnancy weight by my 6-week PP checkup, and have basically maintained over the past couple of months. I'm back to needing to lose 20-30 pounds, and wanting to start tackling that. I'm glad to connect with other moms with similar goals.0

10 days pp and have 17lbs to lose. I swear with my first I only had 5 lbs to lose at this point and I put on the same amount of weight {about 38 lbs). It's depressing. Want it to come off quicker! Plus everything is like jello
Exclusively nursing and nursed my first till 25 months (till i was 9 weeks pregnant). Lost all the weight with that one and then some!
Sigh...need a friend on here for company 0 -
I am exclusively BF my 10 week old, I seem to be having the opposite problem as many of you. I am losing too much weight too quickly, sometimes 1+ pound a week. I have lost my pregnancy weight and now continue to lose. I keep increasing my calories but still steadily lose I'm eating roughly 400 calories over what my maintenance was. I'm rarely ever hungry eating like this and when I am I eat more. My family is becoming concerned as im becoming very thin, but I don't know what to do if im not hungry (let alone find the time to prep food and eat). My diary is open, and I would love suggestions if you have them.0
