Hi. I just signed up for my first diet bet. I had my first child 4 months ago, but have not seemed to be able to lose the weight. I am currently breast feeding. Does any one on here have any suggestions for losing weight, while still maintaining your milk supply?

I think it's important to track calories. That way if your supply dips you can increase by a couple hundred until you find your sweet spot. I was concerned about supply with cutting calories but so far (fingers crossed!) it hasn't been an issue. My babies are almost 7 months old.

I have this concern too. My LO is 3 months. I'm taking the approach of keeping my caloric intake up, but making sure that I'm choosing healthier foods and making more of an effort to perform mild exercise.
