  • Congrats on the baby. Mine is almost 9 months and I'm still breastfeeding and losing! I've been on a slow but steady losing streak and it's been great. You can lose weight while breastfeeding, just wait until your milk supply is established before you cut calories. Working out will not affect it as long as you stay…
  • Caffeine is hard to dodge! I have tried to get my husband off of it forever (mostly sodas and sugary drinks) and what has worked is Spark energy drinks. Only 45 calories, so it's great for our diet, and it's mostly B vitamins and amino acids with a tad of caffeine to help with absobtion...he will have one or two Sparks a…

In reality, it was the worrying about my supply that affected it! I ran out of Life cereal (my "life saver") and Mother's Milk tea and my Lactation…
  • You can add me! My daughter is 6 1/2 months so we're about the same stage :) I never thought this would be helpful but I've found I need support from other people who are in the same boat as me right now. I'm one of those whose weight wont budge so this is my next try :)
