    There are lots of breastfeeding moms here. I'm sure you know that breastfeeding creates a deficit for you, so it isn't necessary to create a deficit on top of it usually. I recommend setting your account to maintain your current weight to start with, and aim for a pound or less of loss per week. If you find that you aren't losing after several weeks, I recommend getting a food scale so you can be a bit more precise about hitting your calorie goal. If you find that you're losing more than a pound every week, adjust your calories manually and eat more. I'm nursing an 11 month old and stick to 2070 a day on average to lose a pound per week. I've lost 54 of my 55 pounds of pregnancy weight so far (I have .2 pounds left lol), and then I have some bonus weight to lose. I also incorporate a progressive weight lifting program and have had great results maintaining muscle while I lose.
