    How many calories are you eating when breastfeeding and trying to lose weight??? I nurse when I'm home and pump when I'm at work.

    I eat 1800/day but how much you need varies from person to person. In general most women exclusively breastfeeding will need 1800-2000 calories minimum. It takes about 500calories top exclusively breastfeed. If baby is only getting breast milk but you pump that is still considered exclusively breastfed. If they are having formula or solids it drops to about 300 calories needed.

    I had my daughter just over 3 weeks ago. Exclusively/on demand breastfeeding, and as of mondays weigh in, I'm down almost 27lbs. I have roughly 80-100 lbs to get to my 'ultimate goal weight'.

    Hi! I'm just over 2 months pp and hoping to get to my original goal weight before I got prego which is 160. I've already lost all of the pregnancy weight (yay breastfeeding!), but I still have 49 lbs to go. Please add me! It would be really nice to be on this journey with people that are in the same boat! Thanks

    I am almost 7 weeks pp, and would like to lose 15 to get to my pre prego weight. Ultimately, I would like to lose a total of 20- 25. I am pumping and haven't lost any since delivery.
