Yes, Just pumping to take the edge off engorgement. We started block feeding yesterday, but I wanted to give it a few weeks to ensure I had a healthy supply. However, just pumping to relieve the pain/ preventing plugged ducts resulted in about 10 oz a day (MOOO) for the last two weeks, and since I am a SAHM I don't need to…

I actually have an oversupply of breastmilk and have been donating to the local milk bank. I would certainly not be trying to lose weight if nursing was even an issue. The fact is I am unable to wear maternity clothing that I wore the week I gave birth. I have a three year old son that deserves to leave the house, and I…

Alexz210, I had low iron in my last pregnancy. My midwife suggested floradix iron and herbs liquid. I found the side effects (constipation, tmi sorry) are less with the liquid than with the feosol pills I previously took. It is expensive, but I think it's worth it!

Lactivist, Intactivist! Also women's reproductive rights, GMO labeling, Environmental protection. I don't think this is the best platform for my issues, so I generally keep my mouth shut. I'm just here for the food diary.

I think about 1000 calories would be a perfectly fine goal # after exercise, give or take a snack/meal here or there.When only trying to lose a small amount, it may not be as simple as 1200 calories for everyone. I actually gain weight on 1200 a day. As long as you have energy and don't continue at a deficit after you lose…

I finished early and decided to walk around and talk to other booth people. A guy walked up and said Hi, I started asking his name and what booth he…

FWIW, I found that stationary biking made my butt muscles larger, might want to do less of that. I have good luck slimming with pilates. I watch free videos on you tube, my favorites are POP pilates. I love the instructor Cassey Ho, super motivating without being annoying!

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all your advice! I need to give upping calories a shot, it's just so hard when you start gaining to stick with it!

I am 5' 3" and a half. I have no idea my body fat %, as I have never before had any reason to know it. I have a very thin frame, and have been told by doctors prior to pregnancy I was of a healthy weight at 100, I think my BMI was 18? You may say that is too low, but I was VERY active/fit at that weight, not waifish. I was…

Thanks, StarryEyed500. I will start entering my BF calories and see if that helps. I get a little nervous eating so many calories when the scale begins to inch up I usually get freaked and cut back again!

I am vegetarian and make a simple white gravy with soymilk, usually with veggie sausage and biscuits. I usually just start with some butter in the pan for the "fat",add soymilk, then mix my flour / soymilk roux sp? And add that slowly to the pan. Then bring to a boil to thicken, just like regular gravy. I'm sure you could…
