  • Check out Bountifulbaskets.org and see if they have a location near you. You can purchase a laundry basket full of fruits and vegetables for only $15.00. Then I buy as much meat and diary when it is on sale as possible and freeze whatever I wont use in the week. I can feed my family of 3 for about $60.00 a week doing that.
  • I am in the same boat...I would like to hear what everyone else has to say too.
  • Just so you know you can also find breastfeeding under food. That is what I used when I was still nursing... Either way works.
  • I did it...worked well. I would suggest mixing it up by using ginger instead of cayene pepper. Also I made the drink in to a slushy because I started to get sick of the drink and that helped. Good Luck!
  • I alao love CalorieKing.com. They have way more option then the MFP database. I always check out there if it is not in our database.
  • I'm nursing too and I started actually putting weight back on. I count everything I eat but unless I excercise my weight stays the same or I gain. We probably just have those body types that retain fat so there is always some available to burn to create milk. I hear it happens to a lot of women I guess you just have to be…
  • Seriously, it drives me crazy...Sometimes there are healthy adds but the donut add pops up ALL the time.
  • You need to count it. Someone else said it if you burn to many calories you will start to lose your milk supply.
  • I'm losing mine too. It's not in clumps but still more than usual.
  • My baby is 5 months old and I feel the same way. It went away when walking for the most part but anytime I push myself (even if it is no working out my abs) I feel pain or soreness. And I still don't dare to run yet. Hope that helps. If you find a workout that works for you and doesn't cause any pain I would love to hear…
  • Hi There, I'm in the same boat. My baby is 4 1/2 months old still trying to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight. Feel free to add me as a friend. I personally like to take walks with my baby but I would check your local rec center I bet they have exercise class that incorporate your baby. Good luck.
  • I just had a baby as well and I can relate. I am the heaviest I have ever been and I let myself go during the pregnancy. I need to lose 70lbs. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want some support.
  • Add breastfeeding in as a cardio exercise at around 500 calories or if you know how many ounces you pump you can add it in your food. Search breastfeeding in food and you will find it and it will automatically subtract the number of calories.
  • Hi There, If you are pregnant you can't realistically lose weight and you are just going to have to wrap your mind around that. I just had a baby and I know that maintenance is very important I gained a lot of weight when I was pregnant and had a lot of complications, I believe, because of it. Just remember that the…
  • Hi Ladies, I am glad to find you on here. I have a 3 month old and lost 25lbs in the 1st 2 weeks thought it would be easy to lose the rest and instead I have gained 8lbs. I am one of the women who doesn't lose weight breastfeeding so any advice would be appreciated.
