Idk but I haven't lost weight breastfeeding with my first child 8yrs ago and dont feel like I am now…

Are you eating healthy?

@littleonemorning home cooked meal everyday

@bynuma09 its not true i googled it

@verguinia, but home cooked doesn’t always mean healthy. Not everyone loses weight breast feeding - other things come into play like eating lots of fruits and veggies, healthy fats and what not. And exercise (once cleared of course).

I didn't lose weight either but at the same time, I realized the calories I burned breastfeeding I would eat plus more because I was. always. Hungry. Once I seriously reevaluated what I was eating, I actually lost weight, down 23 lbs since my high weight of pregnancy

@littleonemorning i eat stews and backed food but I love ice cream that's the problem

@deliciouslyprofoundturtle good job !!!! I'm going to try to change too but I feel like I still have cravings

@verguinia thank you! And that was my problem too! Honestly for the first 5/6 months of this year I was stuck because of my cravings. I eventually stopped buying what I was craving or if I bought it, I would limit myself to a certain amount (say a serving size a day or every few days) I also increased my water intake. I track my water with an app called plant nanny and I use myfitnesspal to track my food/calories.

@verguinia, depends on how much ice cream. A little here and there won’t hurt you lol but remember I think breast feeding only burns like an additional 500 calories a day. So that’s like an extra meal (sort of)

@littleonemorning yes putting it that way makes,me understand it's like skipping lunch everyday !!!

@verguinia, yes! Lol
