    I wondered if I could join your group. I am looking for a group to join to help with motivation and encouragement. I saw your tread and my weight runs similar to yours. How many are in the group and how does it work. I just started doing this August 1st.

    Thanks!

    Susan

    Hello everyone. I have used this site before and I love it. I just had a baby in April and really want to lose this weight. Any advise re: exercise and breastfeeding would be appreciated. I always hear how if you are nursing that the weight will just fall off. Well, my weight must be falling off someone else. I know that I am supposed to consume 500 calories more a day for breastfeeding. We (my kids and me) are walking now, everyday, if I can. I work nights and I think that that hinders my goals also. Thank you now for letting me join your group..

    Welcome everyone, it is great to have more people joining in!

    Shelleydiehl- I too am nursing my baby, she just turned one though, and i didn't lose the weight as expected. Everyone talks about how great it is and how much weight they lost while breastfeeding, and it would always frustrate me. The 500 calories is just a general guideline, some moms need more, and some (like myself) need less. The general advice is to not eat less than 1500-1800 calories if you are trying to lose weight, as this may effect your milk supply. I make sure not to eat less than 1500.
    I have only been actively trying to lose weight for the last month, and have lost 2-3 pounds a week by following what mfp says i should eat for my calories, and then by adding in 200 calories for bf under the exercise tab, and eating my exercise calories. I have been walking quite a bit too. This has worked for me, and it hasn't affected my milk supply, but i have a lot of weight to lose, i started out with 105 lbs to lose! Plus, my daughter does eat some solids, but not much and is mostly bf still.

    Check out this website for some helpful info too:

    Good luck, and let you me know if you have any questions.

    Thank you so much for the advice. I went through the same thing with my son. It is so frustrating. I was in such a good routine last year at this time. I just need to get back to it. I want to lose around 30 lbs, so here is to trying...

    I haven't been successful in finding mrsprasak05,by emailing her ,nor have I found links to her or the others missing!Like Leefitforlife....I like countdown to New year, New me! Much Better 'n' anything I could think of right now!I was hoping to have hit my goal by then, but am not hitting the fitness level or weight loss goals I'd hope to by now, so a further off date may be necessary! OR maybe a good name would be : Healthier by holidays?Healthy and fit in 2010?I Dunno!I am going on vacation for a few days come this Sunday, The 23rd.- be back later in day, the 26th.So I will check in early , and let you know if I've lost anymore by Sunday.Thanks for getting another link going fiftyandfit!Hope we find our other friends!I miss the quotes.
