    Congrats on baby and the safe success there.

    I'll throw in a comment I saw two new mothers make separately (perhaps they both saw it somewhere), and I've seen three others have success with.

    They let the breastfeeding create the deficit.

    No attempting to figure out how much to add for it - then figure out exercise - then create a deficit from that.

    Merely attempted a good estimate of TDEE for new level of activity plus the exercise added on, then ate that, no deficit calculated in - though it was there.
    I believe 2 of the newer ones that applied it used MFP style of logging/eating, the others used the weekly average TDEE method.

    And the deficit started bigger as the body made more milk and had more fat to support that easily, and as feeding dropped off and weight had gone down - deficit was smaller as it reasonably would be.

    Just throwing it out there because I thought it was brilliant and avoided the iffy math of guessing extra calories needed.

    You are such an inspiration, especially to me as our heights and starting weights are very similar. I begin lifting soon but doing Body By You at home for now to build some strength first.
    You look absolutely gorgeous and you must be so proud of yourself, jolly well done!
