My pregnancy brought out blood pressure issues. Now I have to lose 20 pounds fast, while nursing beautiful 8 month old daughter, in order to preserve my health. Doc said to drop to 800 cal/day. I don't think he was taking into consideration the fact that I'm nursing. So, I dropped to 1200 and am waiting to see if it…

I have the exact same problem. I can eat ice cream even if it is 40 below. This may not work for you but it has worked for me. I buy Luigi's Italian Ice at Publix and the little tubs are 100 calories each. I like them, they are frozen treats with good flavor so those have helped. Also, maybe once a week or once every 2…
