Breastfeeding moms?

Options
Are there any breastfeeding mommies here? I'm just getting back to getting healthy 10 months pp and I need some friends to talk to about dieting while bfing!!

    Yes. I am 2 years PP and breastfeeding a few times a day. Working on finding a balance that will lose weight but not tank my supply. Feel free to add me. I'm trying to look at it less as dieting and more as choosing better fuel for my body (and hopefully for my milk) more lean meats, less carbs than I was eating, more fruits and veggies, more water, etc. It is lower calories and I am losing weight but I am trying to make smart swaps for what I was already eating or to make more realistic portions of what I was eating, instead of just doing it mindlessly.

    I'm 6 months pp with my second. I have lost 27 pounds by changing my diet. Basically what supersocks117 is doing. I cut bad carbs and sugar. I stay above 1800 calories and drink tons of water. My supply is going strong. There is a breastfeeding support group on here too.

    I'm also breastfeeding - almost five months PP with my second child. The weight melted off with breastfeeding my oldest, but this time not so much. I'm going to add you all so we can support each other!

    I am also 2 months pp and breast feeding! I am also watching what I eat, making good, clean food choices and trying to exercise when I can find the energy too. My biggest concern is my milk supply so trying to keep an eye on that too! Feel free to add me! :)

    I am 1 month pp and breastfeeding. I never loose weight while I breastfeed so I have to figure out how to do this.
