Trying to wean but tough with a toddler! He's 3 1/2 and craves mommy time.

Hey I'm new too! I'm a second time stay at home mom, my youngest is 3 months and I'm breastfeeding and struggling to lose any weight!

My boy is almost a year and we're also breastfeeding. Probably will for a while as we both enjoy it. With my first the weight came off so easily but this time around I'm doing ecological breastfeeding and still haven't gotten back to my monthly cycle which I think is throwing my weight loss game off.

Hi! I have a 3 month old and a 6 year old. I am breastfeeding as well. What has helped me keep my supply up is eating high protein foods (cottage cheese, natural sliced turkey) and food with good fats like avocado.

My midwife said never cut calories she told me I can only change what kind of calories I take in so I'm eating 2000 calories a day and burning off as much as I can working out, so far I haven't had a supply drop, but I'm only loosing about a pound a week working out 40 to 60 minutes a day But I have heard of people eating 1800 a day and being ok, but it's not worth the risk if a supply drop for me.

Hi ladies! I have breastfeeding babies turning 2 and 4 at the end of this year. I have gained 11 lbs since the beginning of this year! Wah. Every time I start trying to be more active I notice I gain weight and I'm sure it has to do with my body wanting to hold onto my fat so I can still produce milk. So cutting calories is not good! Feel free to add me.

Hi I'm new to MFP too. My baby is nearly 1 year old and I'm still breastfeeding. I'm trying to exercise every day (at least walk the dolg) and now I've decided to cut back on food or eat healthier. Feel free to add me ☺

Hi Im new to MFP and am looking for a way to help me keep track of what I do to lose weight while breastfeeding my almost 8month old. Have been having trouble with post-partum depression while trying to balance having 2 kids 2yrs and 2 days apart. I drink lots of pepsi cause it helped in the beginning (I was avoiding anti-depressants for personal reasons). So now I am coming out of my foggy state and want to get back to looking and feeling healthy. Any other mommas here deal with something similar?

I see in the post above that I can add breastfeeding to the diary. Thats great to know! I am not watching my calories as much as using this to help me track what I eat and keep me walking a couple times a week.

I have a three year old and a 2 month old. Need to lose a good 20 lbs. I find breastfeeding has me hungry all day!

2 weeks out from my third c-section.
Cannot wait to start working out and eating better. I started at 120 and gained 52lbs this pregnancy. Which is actually less than my previous two. But I agree, breastfeeding does not help drop weight (at least it doesn't work for me). With my last son I didn't lose the weight until we were done nursing,

Feel free to add me too! Momma to a 4 month old and 6 year old. Trying to balance breastfeeding and loosing weight.. It is a journey! Would love to motivate each other!

I would love to be added too! I have an 8 week old girl, and four boys between ages 8-14...I'm nursing and pumping. I am a former teacher who stays home now. I need to lose 80 lbs and would love to connect with someone and correspond regularly. Add me and send me a message if that's you!

I'm breastfeeding my 12 week old son. I know how you feel! I wonder if I will ever quit being hungry!

Hi mamas! I'm just getting started with MFP today! First time mommy to a 9 month old baby boy and he is the light of my life! I'm mostly breastfeeding but doing a few tablespoons of solids each day as well. Dropped about 20 pounds just from breastfeeding and not having time to eat in the first 2 months PP but now its creeping back on as I've been eating junk and not making time to exercise. I work full time and hate missing any more time with baby to work out! Hoping the time change will help me to get up and get a 30 minute dvd done in the mornings if baby lets me! He nurses all night and we cosleep (only way he will sleep) so working out after he goes to bed isn't an option. I currently weigh 228 and would like to get down to 170.

I recently had my 4th, I have a 4.5 year old, a 2.5 year old, a 1.5 year old and a 8 week old!
I'm mainly pumping bc it's hard to find the long stretch of time to nurse when the other 3 are so demanding of my time, but, I think it's a great thing to breastfeed! I'm trying to get back to my wedding day weight, so, I'm glad to be in the same boat as you, lovely ladies please feel free to add me! I struggle to eat well, so it would be great to have support!!
