Ok, so while trying to loose weight how are you suppose to balance cardio and strength training? I was loosing 2-3 lbs per week doing C25K, diet and breastfeeding. Monday I started Tae Bo in addition to, and I have gained weight. Now I know that muscle weighs more than fat. I also increased my calories to keep up (but kept them under my total). Anyways, how long should this gain happen for before I need to change what I'm doing?

    How long have you been following the increased calories so far?

    Since Monday. I felt hungrier and didn't want to compromise my milk production, so I added a little more protien and then an extra salad or smoothie.

    You should be fine with the adjustments you made, but also, it is difficult surely when you are breastfeeding so you don't interrupt the integrity of your milk production. Your adjustments should be fine. I'd give it 1 more week. Check back here tho, let me know what is going on after that week?
