It's been a while since I logged onto 3FC. I had major success losing weight about two years ago and being on this site, but I gained about 30 pounds of it back *and* got pregnant. Yay on the pregnant part, boo on the weight gain. In addition I am a HUGE weight gainer when I am pregnant and I had a difficult pregnancy physically so my whole plan of only gaining 30 pounds got washed out
Anyhoo, I gave birth on 09/22/10 to the most beautiful baby girl ever (sorry I am biased like all Mommies) and I am just regaining my sanity and sleep enough to consider starting exercising. I EBF my daughter and haven't even started an eating plan yet, but I am wondering what my calories should look like as a nursing Mommy. I stayed around 1400 when I was dieting last time, but I don't want to lose my milk supply since this is the first time of my three kids that I am successfully producing milk and EBFing. So if anyone has a link they'd like to share, or ideas please let me know.
Also, how much water do you nursing Moms drink? This is an area I am going to focus on this week since I used to be so good at drinking enough water.
I'm hoping to lose the baby weight (see ticker) by Christmas, especially if I can add exercise back in soon. But I am also realistic and know it might be a struggle to get all that off of me by then. I'm just going to give it my best try!
