    Congratulations

    You had a baby 2 weeks ago? Relax ...you have a lifetime to lose the weight ..now is for bonding with the human being you have created...clever you

    Are you breastfeeding...1250 calories sounds far too low

    It takes 9 months to create a baby, it will take months for the hormones to leave your body ...

    If you are prone to post natal depression it is even more vital that you get a rounded nutritious diet

    Please just take it easy ...at least for a few weeks until you get an all clear from your doctor ...don't unduly pressure yourself

    I agree with Sued0nim! Bond with your little one and don't put pressure on yourself to lose the baby fat YESTERDAY!! It will take some time and patience....something that is in short supply when you have added a new human being to your life. Walking is the easiest way to get some "exercise" into your day. Get a stroller and go. If your older one is still toddler size, put the newborn in a pack and put the older one in a stroller! Take this time to bond with your kids, and if you can get some weight loss into the mix, that is a bonus. And breastfeeding is also good for using up some of your calories. But don't go so low that you aren't providing for both you and the baby. You got this, mom.

    Yes. Eating that low jeopardizes the milk supply. Plus with breastfeeding, your body is burning extra calories each day. Have some patience and revel in the love and joy of the new little one.
