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!!

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 dealt with PPD with my 2nd. Unfortunately, it had gotten so bad, I needed to be medicated. But luckily after a year, I was able to wean myself and was never better. The last 2 pregnancies/births I've dealt with a slight issue with depression but I'm doing ok without meds. I too drink Pepsi daily (I know I know, we shouldn't)! Add me if you'd like to be friends!

2nd pregnancy but 1st time breastfeeding.... twins at that! Lost 27 lbs in the 2 weeks post partum. Babies were about 10 lbs when born via c sec (total weight is together not individual). I was 171 lbs before operation and now at nearly 3 weeks pp I'm about 30 lbs lighter thanks to breastfeeding. I've been couch locked so I'm not active in the least bit. Aiming for 128 lbs (was originally 124 lbs before the twins). Once have the Dr ok me to start exercise again I will jump back on p90x and start pushups again. Lost 30 lbs last time and went from 16 jeans to 5 in 3 yrs (slow I know but I kept it off!) and now I'm in size 8 ready to get back down to 5 again... can't wait!
