Hi! I’m 4 weeks post delivery of my first child! I gained 19lbs and have lost 17 already. My goal is to loose 19 more to reach my goal weight. How do I calculate my calorie intake when I am exclusively breastfeeding? That burns so many calories and to maintain milk supply I am supposed increase my food intake. I don’t feel like I can get accurate info from this app... anyone else in this position?

    I am also in this boat but I lost 29 pds since giving birth 5 months but I’m stuck at 192. I’m trying to take out processed food from my diet this week. I live with a snack guru and there’s too much crap at this house. Still breastfeeding but looking for ways to cut back without cutting my supply.

    I’m right there with both of you. I’m 10 months along and stuck around 150lbs . I would like to lose weight without losing the milk supply...
