Congratulations! Sleep when baby sleeps -- it's important and won't impede your weight loss.

AGREED!!....sleep when you can, babies are a lot of work! I think its better to get too much sleep than not enough that is for sure!

Sleep is important. I have noticed that on weeks I do not get as much sleep that I do not lose as well. I have an office job and sit a lot. But outside of work I am very active and if I don't get enough rest my weigh loss tends to slow down. So I say sleep when you can.

That is a big baby! A big amount of my weight gain was through pregnancies and postpartum depression. I nursed for 15 months, but wasn't one of those women who loses weight through breastfeeding.

I initially lost about 25 lbs just from upping protein and walking with my baby, but other things sort of took over and I stopped taking care of myself.

Keep up the good work!
