Pregnancy & Parenting Weight loss group for breastfeeding moms! May 17 2008

So since I started this group on the 13th, I have lost 3 lbs.  I have really tried to remember everytime I get hungry or feel the need to eat, how upset I get when I get dressed everyday.  Still can't wear anything from before I got pregnant.  I took my pregnancy for granted, being able to eat anything and everything but gaining 60lbs in the end.  With my Crohn's disease, I would usually get a belly ache after eating anything so I never ate much, or I could just eat all the unhealthy things in the world and not gain a pound.  Things are a little different now though. 

I started the Special K diet yesterday, so we'll see how that goes.  I think I will definately have to eat more than recommended or my milk production might seriously decrease. 

Does anyone know about taking supplements while breastfeeding?  I was curious about taking Q-10 or something that might help with tightening this flabby skin I have now.  I don't want to lose a bunch of weight and be left with rolls of skin.

Hello ladies! Today is my start date! I am a first time mom to Claire who is 3 months old. I am 27 years old. 5ft 2in. My current weight is 150lbs. Pre pregnancy weight was 115lbs. My goal is 115. Yeah, I gained 60 lbs during my pregnancy. I also struggle with Crohn's Disease but have been in remission since before I got pregnant.

I am really struggling with my weight. I never had a problem gaining or losing weight before. Sometimes I wonder if I quite breastfeeding if the weight would go away. I've had 2 previous surgies (colon resections), leaving horrible scars around my belly button, not to mention the stretch marks and the line going up my mid section. Just looking for a little support and motivation!
