Quick question.... I just read somewhere that I should be eating around 2000 calories, because I'm breast feeding. When I was in college I lost a whole bunch of weight by eating 1200 calories a day. So I was trying to eat 1200 a day now, but I have barely lost my baby weight and my milk production has decreased (I've breastfed since he was born and it started decreasing when I went back to work). I was wondering if I should have been eating more calories this whole time.....anyone have any weight loss tips while breastfeeding?

Yea I have to pump. I'm a single parent that had to go back to work at 6 weeks. I pump every 2 and a half hours cause that's all I can get to cover my class. I literally need to lose 25 more pound to be prepregnancy.... @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, I am being a couch potato because in on vacation haha. @beebaby, I'm going to start meal prepping when I get back home.

I agree with @morganmommy79 it is kinda a catch 22. I stay hydrated and eat 6 times. High protein 3 meals and 3 snacks. My weight has slowed down but my supply decreased when I started pumping

Are you pumping while at work? That may be why you see a decrease. It's supply and demand basically. If you're not pumping or feeding every two hours you'll slow down.

I'm currently counting calories and I'm just following MyFitnessPal and adding a few extra calories for breastfeeding.

I needed to ask the same question tho because I am trying to lose weight as well and remain breastfeeding.

I think @beebaby would have some great input on this subject. Lol (thanks bee...)

I believe for breastfeeding it's an extra 200-500 calories each day.

I did meal replacement shakes for awhile and lost weight but gained it back. I'm still nursing and can't get the extra weight off. I would think staying active would help though. I'm a bit of a couch potato so it's hard for me to say get up and move when I don't take my own advice. Lol.

Ok so not using actual numbers.. But everyone knows I'm over weight since having my girls. It's no secret. BUT i was talking with my hubby last night and idk how we got to this but he said something like (not using actual numbers) no one should weigh 800lbs, they should take care of themselves. And i said so what if someone weighs 800lbs? He said no one should weigh that, they should be healthier. I said well i almost weigh 800! I'm in the 790s. And I'm healthy. I may be overweight but i don't have any diseases, no high cholesterol, no high blood pressure, i don't have a bad heart, lungs, or anything else. So I'm healthy I'm just over weight. So then we argued about him having an issue with my weight.. Am i wrong in this? Because it really hurt my feelings.. I've tried sooo many different things to lose weight but having hypothyroidism makes you gain/hard to lose. And my medications for depression and anxiety cause you to gain also.. So it's very hard to lose weight.. But i didn't even know he had an issue with my weight until last night..
