Breastfeeding question

Any other IBS sufferers?
I have IBS and it really puts a damper on my weight loss. I don't eat extremely clean, but I always get a good bit of fiber everyday and I still suffer with constipation.

Cheesecake?
I am a sucker for Copeland's cheesecake but there's no way I can fit it into my daily calories. Anyone got any good low-cal or semi-low-cal cheesecake recipes? If I don't get any soon, I might cave! lol

Upping Calories
So I've pretty much reached my goal, but I'm not ready to move to maintenance yet. I was set to lose 2 pounds a week and was eating 1200 cals a day. So I just changed it to 1 pound a week and MFP upped my cals to 1480 a day. Well I have always been one to eat ALL of my cals and my exercise cals. So when I upped my cals I…
