    I'm breastfeeding my 7 month old, and looking to lose about 20-30 pounds. I lost all the pregnancy weight and then some using MFP after my first but gained it back with number 2. I'm actually starting to get a bit frustrated. It's not falling off as quickly this time around.

    I am breast feeding my 16 month old baby : ). She's a good eater but she also breastfeeds a lot at night, so have no idea how many calories I'm burning from breastfeeding.

    Oh and I have a 5 year old boy too!

    I'm bfing my 11 week old boy. I've lost the pregnancy weight almost - just 5 or so pounds to go. I'm doing the 30 day shred which is making me feel much stronger and fitter, going some way to make up for the fatigue from lack of unbroken sleep.

    My main problem is constant hunger, especially for cashew nuts and chocolate! I'm not worrying about restricting calories at all - I'm just trying to eat a balanced diet and limit the choc!

    The other big problem is baby cries when I put him down so finding 20 straight mins to do a workout is a challenge!

    Hey you guys! Yep I'm breastfeeding as well. My baby makes a week today and honestly I'm ready to stop. Like really. I'm not sure if enough is even coming out because afterwards she is still hungry and I make her a bottle. Anyway, I am working out once a day small cardio, nothing major of course but I'm soooooo ready to see results! Doing great on my diet though!!!

    I still look like I'm 4 months pregnant!! So depressing.

    I am breastfeeding and pumping for my 7 month old. I'm not having much luck losing weight. I think my PCOS wants my fat to stay on my body while I'm nursing but slowly getting there. I've lost 8 pounds since January and need to lose much much more. It's worth it though to make sure my baby is getting what she needs.

    Hey Jenn, I know breastfeeding can be hard and mom's always feel their baby isn't getting enough. As long as the baby has 4-6 wet diapers they're getting plenty. Do you use a binkie? My little girl refuses the binkie but sacking really soothes her so she use me as her binkie ( pain in the butt) I would think that she was constantly hungry when all she wanted was something to suck on.

    Bf'ing my 8 mo here--will do for at least 4-6 more months (weaned his 3 big brothers between 14-18 mo). Only 3 more lbs to go...but 2-3 lbs hang on until I wean them, then disappear almost overnight.

    Exactly what MandyJane said. As long as baby is making enough wet/dirty diapers and is gaining weight at well baby checks, she's getting enough. However...please be careful about restricting calories (if you are) until 2-3 mo out, so you don't affect your supply. And be cautious about exercise--you are still healing!

    I know how hard it is to wait, but some weight will come off through bf'ing (I usually lose 20-30 lbs those first 3 months with no effort). Good luck and congrats!
