I would actually measure out portions for a few days. They have a way of creeping up!</p> <p>In terms of exercise, do what you can! I'm a runner so I got back into that. Run, walk, do something! The weight will come off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babyweight-diets-for-breastfeeding-moms-anyone-anyone#post-99732 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 21:26:30 +0000 miranlee 99732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would love to hear what other people are doing. I'm almost 3 months post partum and lost the first 20lbs by having the baby, but still have 15 lbs to get to my prebaby weight. Not easily done, when I can't stop eating cookies! I eat a bunch every day and they make me very happy.....sigh.....</p> <p>I am also having a hard time getting motivated when my boobs are so much bigger than usual. I'm just physically uncomfortable all the time. Double sigh.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babyweight-diets-for-breastfeeding-moms-anyone-anyone#post-99689 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:22:21 +0000 chopsuey 99689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did Jillian's 30 day shred and lost 7 lbs. It's only 20 minutes long and not very strenuous! I gained 50+lbs during my pregnancy. I have 3 more lbs to lose. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babyweight-diets-for-breastfeeding-moms-anyone-anyone#post-99679 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:14:55 +0000 katmmad 99679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I am apparently one of those women who does not lose that much weight breastfeeding and instead holds onto everthing she's got. To make matters worse, I'm a stress eater, and our recent struggles with CIO have just had me in the corner chowing down, even if it's on the few "junk" foods I allow in the house like Product 19.</p> <p>In the past (pre-baby), my way of "resetting" after a particularly bad few weeks was to go low carb for a few weeks -- to break the habits, get rid of the stress weight, and hopefully get me into a healthier mode. The problem is that now, as I understand it, if I do low carb successfully (and send my body into ketosis), I'm producing toxins for my baby... so obviously, no low-carb for me. He's 7 months now, and I'm hoping to breastfeed until he hits 1 yo.</p> <p>Any ideas for healthy dieting for breastfeeding? I'm already on WW (have been for years), just finished Couchto5K, etc. </p>
