I was doing 1800 (1900 for a while to make sure there was no drop in supply). I didn't add in breastfeeding. On calculators I do .5-1lb loss a week and count on losing more than that. I am now nursing an about to be 11 month old and dropped my calories to 1510, and I usually eat back at least half of my exercise calories…

A pair of leggings I bought for workouts about a month ago are beginning to feel loose now. Also NSV - I feel great getting 10k steps everyday, whereas a few months ago my feet and legs would be sore if I did multiple days in a row!

Walking. But don't do too much too fast. Ligaments are still lose for months after birth. I screwed my ankles up from trying to get 10k steps a day even after waiting two months. I am fine now getting that much daily (10 months pp), but had to take it easy and count mostly on logging foods the first 5 or so months.

Will walking regularly help you avoid knee problems when you do start running? I was obese when I first started running and stopped when my knees started hurting (a few days in). I have been too scared to try again, but I have lost 20lbs since then - but my knees seem to take a beating whenever I go hiking more than a few…

Exercise to strengthen the upper back muscles should help. I believe it occurs from bad posture. May be wrong, but maybe try googling exercises to help with posture.

I received a few free burrito coupons the other day. I really like their sofritas, I just don't eat out too much. As PP's stated, these outbreaks could have happened anywhere - it's not stopping me from going and redeeming those coupons.

I have Mirena. Whether or not it's affected my libido is unknown as I am currently breastfeeding and breastfeeding itself lowers your libido. I picked Mirena over paraguard because of the horrible cramps I have had since I first ever got my period, and everything I've read says Mirena helps and don't do paraguard in that…

Pescatarian (Vegetarian+Fish). Easier for me to get protein and make meals for my family that I can be included in on. I don't eat seafood too much because of the price. I don't like meat for ethical reasons as well as environmental, and I also feel that if I ate meat I'd be pressured more often than not to eat it at every…

Hi! EBF my almost 6 week old, started two weeks ago on mfp, calories set to 1750... No drop in supply that I can tell. Hope this is a reasonable calorie goal to lose weight! Good luck mamas!

Whether or not my weight was the issue, I will never know... But I was ttc for a little over a year before I realized that I needed to be healthier during pregnancy and decided on exercising and losing weight (I was on the line of overweight and obese). I starting using the gym, walking 3 miles atleast 3 times a week. I…
