Breastfeeding mama

Great! Just be sure you are eating enough to keep up your supply. That's you focus right now.
I BFed 31 months and never did lose weight. But my PG weight was really good (not sure how THAT happened!). Eventually, it all worked out.
Here are some words by a woman who was an astonishing mentor on a BF board I belonged to:
"The beauty of my body is not measured by the size of the clothes it can fit into, but by the stories that it tells. I have a belly and hips that say, 'We grew a child in here,' and breasts that say, "We nourished life." My hands, with bitten nails and a writer's callus, say, 'We create amazing things.'"

I'm breastfeeding and trying to lose 20lbs . My son just turned 5 months last week . Im struggling to find ways to exercise with baby always with me .. it's too hot outside to take stroller walks

I find the same issues but I've got more to lose. I've started taking my baby in the stroller to walk at my university - entirely indoors and hugely long buildings to walk forever in.

There are gyms in my city with childcare options but my girl is in the middle of stranger danger and cries if she can't see me. No one wants a six month old screeching in the gym.

I used to do my workouts at home with my baby in her high chair with tons of toys and then if she had enough I'd move her to her bouncer and give her some new toys. She's bigger now and sleeps in her crib for naps so now I just workout when she naps. So far I lost 6kg.

Hey everyone! My LO is 6 weeks and I have 5lbs to lose till my pregnancy weight but I'd ultimately like to lose about 40lbs. I am cleared for light workouts but struggling to find a balance when it comes to calorie intake. Any insight?
