Hello everyone,
I'm new here to the site and just want to say I think it is fantastic. I really want to get fit and lose some of this weight. I want my son to be proud of his mama.
I have a question for those who have nursed or are nursing. My son will be 2 months next tuesday and I have been breastfeeding him without a problem. I actually have more than enough milk but I'm afraid that if I jump into a weightloss diet and excersise routine to fast it might afect my milk supply. And I really want to nurse at least a year.
I'm really disappointed by the fact that I am not losing any weight by breastfeeding (I was told I would). Insted I have gained 6 lbs.
and I am starving all the time. I don't know how many calories I should eat per day. I started counting calories and I am averaging about 2400-2600 a day.
Which I know is an exorbitant amount but it is the only way I can stay satisfied and not gain weight. If I cut calories to about 2000-2200 do you think my milk supply will be affected? Or should I wait untill my son is a little older before I start actively losing weight?
