    I'm right there with you all. I lost forty last year logging on here. Then, I got pregnant with our third in July. I gained it all back and then some. She is now six weeks. I've lost 22 of it which is basically baby and after birth, so I'm back to logging and running. I'm also an exclusive breast feeder which makes your calorie levels harder. I have mine set to maintain, and then add on the 470 for nursing. If you type lactation into the food search you will see that someone made an option to add those calories in. You actually burn around 500, but this gives me a small deficit to work with without risking my supply. Once we get out another two weeks I will consider lowering my calories a little more, but not much.

    29 year old stay at home mom of a 6 yr old girl and 10 month old boy. I have been battling ppd and find exercising and eating right has helped. I lost 70 lbs before baby but gained back 50 lbs during and after pregnancy. Hoping to lose the baby weight and drop a total of 110 lbs! Anyone feel free to add me. I can definitely use the support.
