I am here because I really need some support... I am currently right around 300 lbs and I would like to lose about 125 lbs. I am currently breastfeeding my 6 month old son. My ability to diet/lose weight in some ways is constrained by my breastfeeding, particularly because my son has allergies that affect my ability to eat many foods. I don't have a plan yet-- but I am ready to get started. So this is my first step!
And what a GREAT first step you've taken! You've decided you want to change your life. Marvelous! I hope that as you look around here and find support that you'll figure out what will work for you & your life.
You may want to check out the Pregnant - Nursing area under Dieting with Obstacles to begin with. But please post wherever you're comfortable!
Oh, breastfeeding... that's just the best. It's easy to feel a little resentful about it when you're trying to lose weight, but that time will come, and everything will fall into place. (okay, with a little work. ) Enjoy your time with your beautiful baby.
Please keep posting! You'll make some wonderfully supportive friends here.
To get a ticker, you need 30 posts and need to have been here for 30 days. Sorry... it cuts back on the spammers for us. The time will fly by, though, and I'll bet you'll have a weight loss to show for it!
