    My baby girl is almost 3 months old and im breastfeeding. My goal is to lose 19 lbs by the end of January 2017, and lose at least 40 lbs by August 2017. It has been a struggle to find people who are supportive, so I would love to help support you on your journey and maybe support each other! Good luck.

    Hey there, my son is 5 in a couple of weeks I'm only just losing my baby weight haha. Actually not laughing because that's shamefully isn't it :neutral: I was 18 when having mine, I breast fed and didn't loose any but I ate loads. With the right diet and balance at moment I'm getting there. Anyway I'm talking and talking... If you want to chat I'm here for a chat and motivation :)

    Also a new mom! My son is 7 weeks. It seems like the first twenty pounds just fell off. Now the rest is being stubborn. I'd love some support from other exhausted mamas!

    Hi there, my name is Mindy. I have 5 kids and my youngest just turned 1. So I've been on my fitness journey for 10 months now and I've lost 40 pounds just by changing my eating habits. I eat clean 80% of the time. I started a few beach body programs and I lost an additional 16.6 pounds with a total of 56.6 pounds. I still breast feed my daughter which helps as well. I would love to support and encourage other moms out there. I did all of this without stepping a foot in the gym.

    I have a 2wk old I breast feed and a 4yo. I have lost most of my pregnancy weight for the exception of 5lbs, but I'm looking to lose another 10-20lbs. I've started exercising again, but I'm having a hard time eating healthy since I'm still so used to giving into my cravings during pregnancy.

    6 day old here... Just focusing on logging, breastfeeding and establishing supply. I had a c-section and wearing my abdominal binder all day, it is helping with reactivating my core muscles. Gained only 25 lbs during the pregnancy and still retaining fluids so my current weight is not accurate.

    3 weeks old on Wednesday and breastfeeding. Only 2 lbs to go to prepregnancy weight, but started out very overweight 203 lb and would like to get to a healthy weight. How many calories is good to keep the milk supply up but lose weight? It is too soon to workout, but do you eat back workout calories while breastfeeding also?

    Hi! Returning to MFP cause it's time to start focusing on losing this weight. I have a 5 month old and I have 50 lbs to lose before I start trying for baby number 2 next year. I still weigh the same as when I came home from the hospital - it's time. Feel free to add me!

    @sarahs8705 It's hard to say how many calories because it depends on a number of factors, including your height and weight. I'm 5'1 and about 140 lbs. Without exercise I ate about 2000 calories daily and was losing. Maintained at about 2200 cals. And I was very sedentary. Probaby made 3000 steps a day on a good day. Breastfeeding was what caused me to be able to eat so much.
