Gale wow, three boys in 3,5 years, I admire you! Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and you have nice and easy delivery :) Make sure to join us when you are ready, but don't rush it :)

Jen it seems diabetes is really giving you troubles but your weight is getting lower and lower so I'm sure you'll succeed. I can't wait to be in "onederland" like you :) I took up running to get fit and speed my weight loss...so far so good, I've lost around 5 pounds since I started. I can't blame breastfeeding for gaining the weight after delivery, I gained because I was eating like a pig...so ashamed to say it but it's true! I let myself go because I was so sleep deprived and overwhelmed with my girls I didn't have any mental capacity to pay attention to my diet and I just ate whatever I liked. Unfortunately it's something I can never do, as that's what's making me OBESE. Well, what's done is done, I'm on a track now and hopefully I will see some results soon!

I have officially lost 15 lbs since my weight loss journey began! I am so proud of myself. :)

My supply started tanking around 8 mo pp, so I started eating more. I'm not losing anything now and I am quite possibly gaining it back again. I think my issue is with pumping at work. I used to get 12-15 ounces during my 3 sessions. And today, I only got 8 ounces :( I feel like I have to choose between weight loss or bfing. I am going to replace all the parts I can for the pump to see if that helps.

gretel have you tried taking fenugreek? Ifind take 4 capsules with a ton of water about 20 minutes before pumping doubles what I am able to pump out.

Sarahlynn - I haven't taken fenugreek. I have been drinking nursing tea though. My supply was fine up until a month ago. Today I called Medela to troubleshoot my pump, so hopefully those fixes will get me back to where I was.

gretel- the tea has fenugreek in it and I never found it strong enough to get my supply going. I wish you the best of luck because I dried up with my second long before I was ready to stop bf'ing and it really depressed me.

My scales broke during pregnancy and I didn't replace them until today. I'm horrified.

I'm not going to start a major weight loss effort until my birthday (Oct 13), but I don't want to gain, so a little accountability here might help with that.

So, after my supply tanked, I tried everything! I swapped all of my pump parts and pump and tried fenugreek. Unfortunately, the fenugreek makes my LO spit up more (which really is annoying because it definitely worked). So by 10 months, I was gaining too much and I had to make the choice to lose weight and just deal with getting whatever I get when I pump. I lost 4 pounds in 4 weeks and I'm still hanging in there. I still have a couple of ounces in my stash, so I'm going to keep pumping until LO turns 1. But, I'm actively aiming for 1-2 pounds of weight loss per week. It's definitely give and take...and this momma is ready to start taking the time and energy to get herself in shape :)

2sw33t- We do have a few similarities! What date is your little guy's birthday? My ds was born June 19. And my birthday is also in October, I'm on the 22. (And turning 30 this year!)

And I just weighed in today at 164.6, but that's not an official weigh in... :) It's great to see a new, lower number on the scale though! I think that (164) was my weight at 8 weeks pregnant, last October.
