New here and need a buddy!!

Hi! I am new here and need a buddy!! Here is a little about me. I am 25 years old and just had my second child in December. I am still trying to loose my baby weight. I have a wedding in July and would like to be at my goal weight by then. I still have about 15 pounds to go. My starting weight was 172 and now I am 153. I am breast feeding and having a hard time with cravings and being hungry all the time!!! I just need some support to help me along! Thanks for reading!!

Welcome, Keri! :wave:
Congratulations on getting the weight off NOW! My baby is 10 years old, and I'm still trying to get the weight off. :lol:
It sounds as though you may need to eat more during the day. I don't mean you should chow down, but try having three meals a day with three snacks. Often when we get cravings, it's because we're genuinely hungry without realizing it. We need to fuel our body throughout the day.
Try having a mid-morning snack, a mid-afternoon snack, and another mid-evening.
Enjoy the breast feeding... I loved nursing my babies... it's such a special time.
:hug:

I am trying my best to eat smaller meals more often but it is hard!! I have something outside of the house like playgroup or story time everyday during the week with my 22 month old. When we get home I am busy getting the boys feed and down for a nap. Then that is my time to get things done or nap my self. My cravings don't hit me until around 10:00 at night. I know the worst time!!

Hi Keri,

I read somewhere... Oprah in a mag I think, that it is best if we eat every 3 hours. That way we dont allow ourself to get to that totally starving phase where we just chow out. It also has something to do with how the fat & muscle breaks down to.
I am trying tyo follow that as much as possible at the moment in a attempt to manage my cravings.

Just a thought. Good luck.
