Chocolate!! I am addicted

Hello and congratulations on your little one. My baby is four months old and I am exclusively breastfeeding. I agree with others in that its best to wait until baby is two months old. I add on 500 calories as pee the NHS and try to stay at around 1700 a day but if I am hungry I do go over. Also make sure you drink lots. I…

Are you weighing your food? I found that it really helped me. I also get extremely hungry sometimes so I do go over my calories. This is my second time bf too and I have found the weight easier to shift than with my first so maybe its different with each baby. I think tiredness doesn't help dieting as I tend to make bad…

I am exclusively bf my 17 week old and I try to stay at around 1700. My tips would be to weigh everything and I mean everything and make sure yet keep your fluids up :) good luck and I have sent you a friend request

Hello my baby is 17 weeks and I am exclusively breastfeeding. I try to stay at around 1700 calories and I eat back any extra exercise calories that I earn. Just make sure you drinks lots and keep hydrated. Congratulations on your little one and good luck :) I have sent you a friend request x

I am bf my four month old and logging with no problems with supply. As others have said make sure you are drinking lots. Is your baby not satisfied after feeding? I am just curious as to how you know you are making less. Maybe baby is a very effective feeder and your supply might have just settled? I have been told in the…

I love frozen berries with mine :)

Hello and congrats on your little one, I am breastfeeding my 16 week old and I add 500 calories a day as per the NHS. I try to eat around 1700 a day but I do tend to go over if I am really hungry. I have lost 24lbs since having her and just have 15 more to go. Sorry I can't be of more help and feel free to friend me :)

I can't offer advice but would like to know what the others say! I am similar to you as F, 5'5" I was 180 post baby and now down to 155 and my goal is 140 139. What's left seems to be all round my tummy :(

Well done! :D

Wow well done! :)

5'5" SW 180 (post baby) CW 155 GW 135-140 So far its going really well :)

One tire and one rack of baby back ribs :D

I am exclusively breastfeeding my 14 week old baby and I add 500 extra calories as this is what the NHS claim I will burn a day. I have 1700 a day which works really well but if I am hungry I do tend to go over (especially when baby has a growth spurt) As your little one is much older now and not feeding as much then would…

I would absolutely love my 14 week old to sleep that long! Like you I have lost a lot of weight since having my baby (21lbs) and I think its mainly down to breast feeding :) This app has been a real eye opener as to how much sugar I eat and has helped me cut back.

The NHS says an exclusively breastfeeding mother will burn around 500 calories a day so I have personally set myself a goal of 1700 to lose 2lbs a week. I would say that you could add an extra 250 calories a day and just see how it goes. Good luck :)

Well done and keep it up :D you are nearly there!

I also add on 500 calories for breastfeeding :smile:

I am the same but baby born in Dec! I also have aajor sugar addiction :| Feel free to friend me ladies x

I spoke to a lactation consultant about my diet yesterday and she said as long as its a healthy balanced diet which it is then there is no problem at all with what I am doing. I also asked about affecting milk supply and she explained that I would have to be very malnourished in order for it to be affected. I must say that…

The NHS say you burn 500 calories a day exclusively breastfeeding so I have created an exercise for this and logged it. My baby is 12 weeks old and so far I have lost 16lbs just breastfeeding. I have another 20 to go and lose about 1-2lbs a week. I try to keep to 1700cals a day and I am not hungry on that many which is…

I am currently breastfeeding and the NHS claims that I will be burning 500 calories a day so I add that amount on as an exercise. I have set a goal of 2lbs a week and so far I have lost 9lbs in 28 days :D Best of luck to you and hopefully someone will be able to offer your some more advice xx

Excellent post thank you :)

Really glad to see that I am not the only one who is struggling :# I am absolutely desperate to get back into my Pre pregnancy clothes !!

42lbs gained here!! Lost 16 already and baby is 8 weeks old. My goal is to get down to 140lbs by June (currently 167) I am exclusively breastfeeding which according to the NHS burns 500 calories a day. I have been adding these to my diary and I am set up to loose 1lb a week but so far I have been loosing 3. I think it…

Hello, I am breastfeeding my baby who I had in December. I am adding 500 calories as that's how much the NHS say you burn a day. Are you ladies doing the same? I have 27lbs to lose by June for our holiday :#

Hello, I have 27lbs to lose after having my second baby in December :)
