    I'm ebf my almost 4.5 month old son, I'm already at my pre-pregncacy weight but would like to lose about 20 more pounds. I seem to fluctuate about a few pounds but nothing major and right now I'm mostly interested in making sure I'm getting enough calories but not too many either. I constantly want to eat so I'm trying to stay in check and eventually lose the weight, I just really want to make sure I don't make my supply drop. I've also been really bad with sweets lately and I'm trying to stop that but it's so hard, I crave them so much! Oh and I can't wait to be at the weight I want so I can get some new clothes that fit right and look good again haha. Anyways I'm looking forward to making some friends so feel free to add me!

    I'm 6 weeks pp tomorrow, & have my doctor's appointment Thursday. I'm looking to loose 50 lbs-ish, gained through 2 pregnancies & beyond. (I'm also a shortie). I'm ebf, and did so for a year with my first, unfortunately, I didn't loose as much as I'd have liked, last time. I have a massive sweet/carb tooth that I conveniently "forget" to reign in, when the good stuff is around. I need that v-8 commercial slap the food out of my hands!

    I'm 2 months postpartum and had a c section, I still need to lose 30 ish pounds. I lost 33 lbs up to date with the delivery and in first few weeks, but I'd gained 60. I'm back to running and doing workout videos. I'm afraid however to cut calories because I might compromise my milk supply

    Hello ladies!! I'm 7 months pp and ebf. I've only got 4 lbs left to get to prepreg weight, but I have another 15 to get where I want to be (healthy).

    How many calories are you accounting for breastfeeding?

    Hello mommies!
    I am a first time mom to Baby Jack. He is currently 2.5 weeks old, and growing too fast for me :)

    I am 5'7"
    Starting Weight: 140 lbs - this was on the higher end for me & I was looking to lose weight before getting pregnant. I am most comfortable and confident between 126-130 lbs
    Delivery Weight: 163 lbs
    1 Week Postpartum: 140 lbs

    I am currently trying to figure out where my calories need to be to maintain my milk supply and to lose weight slowly. So, you will see my diary is a little all over the place right now. Breastfeeding hunger is something else!!!

    I would love to have fellow mommy friends for motivation and support. I am trying hard right now to be active on MFP to help hold me accountable. I look forward to working out again, but am nervous on how I am going to balance that with working full-time and taking care of baby, so right now my focus is on my food intake for weight loss.

    Cheers & best of luck to you all

    Struggling! I've been gaining weight since returning home from the hospital. I can't get over the breastfeeding hunger. How are you mom's combating this? ! I've put 6 lbs back on. It's depressing me

    Try drinking a glass of water before eating every time? Oftentimes our bodies confuse thirst with hunger. Other than that, focus on your proteins first and your fats second. Carbs just don't keep you as full as proteins and fats do so they don't exactly make the best "fill you up" type snacks. At least that's been my personal experience.

    Great snacks are boiled eggs, chicken breast, turkey pepperettes, greek yogurt, cheese, etc.

    I'm still nursing my 10 1/2 month old. He loves nursing and he loves solids. He loves food just like his mama. Lol. I lost all my pregnancy weight (16lbs) near the beginning then he started solids and around 7 months when he really started to enjoy it more and nurse less I gained back about 7lbs because I did not adjust my eating to be less. Now I'm ready to start really losing this weight plus the 15 or so I had from before I was pregnant.

    I would love some other mommy friends so feel free to add me!
