I had my first weigh-in today. I've officially finished my first week. And I gained a pound. I'm not too beat up about it since AF arrived 2 days ago and I know I'm always up when she is visiting.

Normal to lose more weight in the first few weeks?
Hi everyone! I lost 3 lbs in the first two weeks keeping track of my calories on MFP. I set my goals to lose 1/2 pound per week. I am breastfeeding and using the 500 breastfeeding calories each day.
