Losing Weight While Nursing!?

Can anyone give me any tips on losing weight while nursing...I have a 3 year old and a 3 month old...I have lost some weight but I am soo hungry this time...I have soo many cravings more then when I was pregnant! Atleast when I was pregnant I could eat alot and blame the baby now who can I blame! I dont miss being pregant no I dont miss walking thru a door with my tummy first and then my head appearing but jeez it is driving me crazy! I am still wearing some of my maternity clothes which is sad and these horrible night gowns that I promised my self I would never wear...Whenever I wear them I get an awful dream I am driving wearing that nightgown and with my kids and get pulled over by a cop for a ticket.& there is a huge crowd of people pointing and laughing at me.....Sorry just venting....I am pumping milk too this time so maybe,.....Please share any stories of hope...I know in a healthy way!!! Thanks!

Weight Watchers has a good program for nursing moms. I don't know it I'd have ever lost the weight without it!

I've gotten back to my pre-baby goal weight twice- once after each child- and kept nursing though weight loss and beyond. It can be done!

i have no tips :( I just wanted to let you know i asked a similar question just hours ago!! I know how you feel. I have about 40 pounds to loose - email your address or something if you would like to be weight loss buddies. It may help! Good Luck!

Awww, lol! Well, breastfeeding burns up to 1,200 calories a day! Plus tightens your stomach muscles, your uterus contracts after feedings. I lost all my baby weight breastfeeding my kids, the second baby alot faster than my first one( I gained 53lbs with #1:(). I breastfed both for the first year(my daughter is still nursing) as recommended by AAP. My first baby I lost all my weight completely after about a 1.5 years. For the most part I ate healthy but I still ate whatever I wanted and as much as I wanted to. I didn't exercise at all, just normal everyday activities. Baby #2 is now 17 months and I am been at 118(my normal weight and bikini ready!) for over 12 months:)

Also you should eat six meals a day to help speed up your metabolism. Five of your six meals should be small/medium(as long as your breastfeeding eat as much as you would like:)) size, your biggest meal of the day should be in the morning... your body needs the fuel and you have all day to burn it off. Also I read that people who eat eggs for breakfast loose 65% more fat than people who eat bagels, cereal, ect..

You shouldn't be eating junk... stuff that comes pre packaged. You need lots of fresh veggies and fruit(buy frozen if you can't fo fresh) Eggs, chicken and fish are a great source of protein. Yogurt, cheese, oatmeal are all good little snacks. Don't drink soda it is awful for you and doesn't help when trying to loose weight, stick to water, 100% juice and milk.

Organic apple cider vinegar helps with weight loss. I suggest not drinking it by its self, I like to add apple juice and don't drink more than 2tbs of that stuff a day or you will be stuck on the toilet.... You can find it at health food stores. Also flax seed oil is great to add to your daily diet it has great health benifits:) ***when your baby is old enough to eat solid food I would talk to his Dr about adding flax seed oil to his diet, the fat that comes from it is just what his little brain needs to grow:)

Good luck!!!! And great job breastfeeding!

actually nursing will seriously make you loose weight faster. Me and my friend gave birth at the same month and she is way sexier than me now and it's because she's been breastfeeding since then. Our babies are 9 months old but some folks say when ur breastfeeding some hormones are being released for ur cervix to heal faster and ur pregnancy fats will fortunately goes to ur milk. Its okay to eat coz u know the nutrients will go to ur baby. and when ur on a diet while nursing, it'll cut your milk short.. coz thats what i did. just hang in there. Goodluck.
