Hi all,

I am a new mom to a beautiful baby boy (he is 2 months old now). I work full-time and also am breastfeeding. I was hoping to get some friends on here for some support and also be able to ask questions when needed.

I have about 100 pounds to lose (most of it is pre-pregnancy weight). It doesn't matter to me if you have that much or more/less to lose, as long as you are trying to be healthy.

Today is day 1 for my new lifestyle. I was planning on calorie counting, but am scared it will affect my supply. I may just eat healthy foods without over eating. I would rather take the chance of listening to my body.

Anyways, feel free to add me as a friend for mutual support :)

Thanks,
Alyssa

    Ugh I had a whole reply typed out and it got deleted.

    Fenugreek and Mothers Milk Tea will help with supply issues.

    I have a three year old. Good luck!

    I am a mom to an adorable 4 mo old girlie and a wonderful 3 year old girl as well!

    I'm SOOO glad to have found MFP..with the little one I found it so tough to stick to anything related to diet/exercise. With the barcode option on the app I'm finding it to help so much!!

    I would love to have the support and give support to any new moms (or not so new moms too!) ;)

    Good luck everyone!!
