How Much Weight Have You LOST?
Not that anyone needs to stress about it, but for those who are interested or enjoy the accountability, I thought a thread dedicated to losing the baby weight might be fun. It is interesting to see how much people lose initially, how long it takes to get back to pre-pregnancy weight, etc. Here are my stats so far, my baby…

Calories for breastfeeding
I'm always starving at the end of the day. I fell off my diet this afternoon. I gave in to the Easter candy. I'm so close to my goal. I'm so hungry though. My little one didn't nurse as much today. But she still night nurses a lot. Diet and breastfeeding is really hard.

Breastfeeding: How did you determine how many calories for your diary?
If you're breastfeeding, how did you determine how many calories to enter as your goal in your food diary? MFP is suggesting only 1400 or so without breastfeeding; I could add 500 breastfeeding calories as "exercise;" but I think 1900 is going to be way too low. I'm soooooo hungry!!! I'm worried about it being such a pain…
