Stay at home mamas

I'm looking for a few accountability friends! Long story short: lost 55lbs, got pregnant, gained it all back. 2 years later, got pregnant again, gained more, 3 months postpartum and I'm still holding onto ALL the weight. I'm breastfeeding this time around and I'm terrified of cutting back too much and it hurting my supply so I'm trying to just make healthier choices and move more.
Let's get fit together! :) I also have a fitbit for extra motivation!

    Nursing burns 500 cals so be sure to take that into consideration. Feel free to add me and I'll cheer you on.

    Hi! My youngest is almost 3 and I stay at home with her while my other daughter is in kindergarten. Feel free to add me! (I'm not sure how to add friends on here, I'm starting MFP again after a year long break and things have changed!) I also have Fitbit too and it helps keep me moving!

    My baby is 6 months. I am also breastfeeding. Today was Day 1 of 30 Day Shred. Jillian Michaels site said I should eat 1839 calories... wondering if I should eat more for breastfeeding, or that is good? I did a breastfeeding calculator and it suggested around 1900 calories, so am I good with that? I have about 75 (gasp) lbs to lose, but of course, planning to take my time with it. I want to breast feed hopefully until baby is around 12 months.
