Post partem motivation

With a c-section it takes a little longer to be ready for physical activity (I had one last time), but some gentle walking as soon as you feel up to it is probably your best bet, as long as your incision continues to heal well. Concentrating on nutritious food (vs empty calories) is best, and you don't want to limit calories if you can in the first 8 weeks to make sure that your milk supply gets well-established. That being said, if you concentrate on filling whole foods, you should be able to do both. Steel cut oats are great for milk, as are dark leafy greens. Both are fillings and have lots of nutrients. I personally am going to keep track of my carbs/protein/fat ratio because it's easy for me to eat too many carbs/fat and not enough protein. But you can't go totally low carb because you need carbs to have a good milk supply. It's hard to keep the right balance, but you can do it! For now, concentrate on healthy foods and on resting and recovering!

i'm 16 weeks post partum and looking for support as well. This is my third baby and it's hard to eat right when I'm having to fix meals for a 9 and 5 year old!!!!

I'm in the same boat with my boys. 7 and 5 year old plus ebf 9.5 week old

I used this app and lost about 70 lbs before and I'm hoping I can do it again, but this time around I'm still trying to get in a good routine AND I have a more demanding job. Last time I was on this weight loss journey I had a simple customer service job so I never had to bring work home with me. Nowadays, I'm checking emails on my phone on the weekends. But I HATE being fat so I know I HAVE to do this. I also feel like I eat the same meals all the time. I mean they're low calorie but I could use a little variation!! LOL
