Breast Feeding and weight loss
Ok SO I had a baby 3.5 months ago. I am breast feeding. I am still 20 lbs overweight and I have NEVER had a problem adjusting my weight via diet and exercise. For some reason, right now, no matter what I do I am hanging on to this last 2 lbs. I am back to running and am keeping a food diary. I don't want to go below 1900-2000 calories a day because you need the extra 500-600 calories a day when breadt feeding and I don't want to make myslef sick. Anyone been on this ride before?? Any advice??

I nursed 4 kids with lower calories
It seems as if you are consuming a high amount of calories even for breastfeeding. I am at 188lbs and initially it says to eat 1200-1300 cal for weight loss so all I did was add 500cal to that hence eating mid 16-1700's. This is my fourth child that I am nursing and from my own personal experience, as long as you are taking in good nutrition and drinking your minimum 8 glasses of water/day (very important!!), you will be fine on your milk production. You will see an increase in nursing when your child in 3 and 6 wks, and 3 and 6mths. These are natural growth stages and all four of my kids nursed roughly 1.5hrs at these age stages ~ never was a reflection of poor milk production because of calorie reduction. If you have any concerns, consult a nutritionist at your local health unit.
