  • I am 27 and looking to lose 72 lbs. I just had my second baby. After my first I lost 51 lbs but gained it back when I got pregnant again. You can add me as a friend if would like. I have found having friends on here helps with motivation.

  • We buy frozen fruit at Costco. It cuts down on food waste because it takes longer to go bad. I use it in smoothies. I also buy greens in bulk for smoothies and I freeze them for smoothies. I like this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/brown-rice-broccoli-cheese-and-walnut-surprise/

  • Are you pumping? When I primarily pumped with my first I had a severe supply drop. I had to nurse her more to increase production. My milk also dipped when I got pregnant. Have you tried extra pumping sessions to increase production? Have you tried milk tea?

  • I have read that you need to stay within 1500-1800 calories per day in order to maintain your milk supply (this is according to Kellymom). Breast feeding can burn 200-500 calories per day.

  • Vitamin C is water soluble. It is much easier for your body to clear out an abundance of water soluble vitamins over fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K).

  • I see that you are a breast feeding mother. I am breast feeding and I find that some days I am more hungry than others. Kellymom recommends to eat when you are hungry when breast feeding. I also noticed that you are not getting a lot of fruit or veggies. What to Expect the First Year recommends 8 servings of fruits and…
