I'm 4 months PP with my third. I am currently at my heaviest. In college, I was 125. Moved in with my bf gained 10lbs. We got married and bought a house and gained 10 lbs. First baby brought another 10. Second baby - 5 lbs. Last baby - 5 lbs.
This is without a doubt our last and I need to take to weight back off. Breastfeeding does nothing for my weight loss. Would love other moms to help motivate.

    I'm 4 months PP as well. I got pregnant at my heaviest weight. I lost most of the baby weight within a month. Now I'm trying to get into the shape I should've been in when I got pregnant.

    I'm breastfeeding too which had made it tricky with trying to lose weight while not effecting my milk supply.

    I'm worried about reducing my calories too much. I'm on day 3 and getting about 1550 a day.

    I'm 8 weeks post partum, need to lose 100 lbs and am very frustrated. One website suggested 2100 calls for weight loss while breastfeeding but I'm not losing. Are you ladies doing low carb too?

    12 month PP & still nursing. Not as much as she used to. Only a few times a day. I was worried about weight loss / milk supply while nursing too. I don't think it really made a big difference in my weight loss either. I'm worried maybe it was and I didnt realize it and now that she is slowing down I'm going to notice it.

    I'll be there soon! I have about 5 weeks to go till my little girl here. I'm really anxious to get back to my probably weight, stay healthy and NOT compromise breast milk supply since I want to EBF. I'd love to find mommy's who are currently doing it or who hope to after their Littles are born too.
