And so here I am for some support! I have been fighting extra weight ever since I was a child, sometimes I managed to lose a lot only to gain it in couple of years. But always I have been able to lose weight if I really wanted. Now since my baby twins were born, I have not been able to eat healthy, I compensate for lack of sleep with chocolate and it just really shows!!! So I really need to figure out how to maintain healthy lifestyle and lose weight while breastfeeding. I hate the fat woman I see in the mirror when I wake up - sho is she???

Please please tell me its possible to lose weight and like my body again...

Congrats on your babies. When you look around this site, you will really be inspired when you see what so many people have done. You can do it. When you need motivation, come to 3fc and look at before and after pics. Good luck to you.

Life is extremely hectic for you at this time, go easy on yourself. I breastfed twins and was starving a lot of the time! At the moment I would concentrate not on dieting but on taking in lots of healthy nutritious food to keep both you and the twins going. Taking them an enjoyable stroll in the buggy and taking in all the good things in your life at this special time. Many roads lead to Rome and maybe just now the gradual leisurely route would be a good option.

Thank you Milly. I did not really intend to diet while I am breastfeeding, but my girls turned 10 months and I nurse them only twice a day now...restricting calories intake while breastfeeding is not always the best thing to do, but on the other hand breastfeeding is certainly not an excuse to eat tons of chocolate and ice cream like I have been doing (so ashamed!) I also think my girls deserve a mom who is healthy, fit and happy..so yes, I am going to focus on healthy life style, proper meals and no junk food and lets see how it goes )
