Brandy,

I waited till 8 weeks to attempt dieting.  I've found too I can't just say I need say 1800 calories or something it will vary greatly depending on my son's eating schedule for the day if he is constantly nursing I need more to eat that day if he doesn't nurse much obviously I need less.

I got my calorie estimates from this site http://babyfit.sparkpeople.com/post-pregnancy -nutritional-transition.asp

Hey everyone I'm new here and have been skimming over your past threads.

My name is Lisa and I'm a mom to two  boys one just turned 2 years old and the other is almost 9 months.  Breastfeeding didn't work out with my first but  this time around it's been going great and I really enjoy it!

I'm 5'5" and currently approx. 220 lbs Cry down from 235 lbs during 2nd pregnancy (first preg I was 265 at delivery but back to pre-preg w/in 2 weeks, 2nd time within days since I only gained 15lbs and my baby was 6lbs 10 oz.).  I have no problem getting back down to prepregnancy weight I just plateau from there.

Goal weight right now is 170lbs and I'll adjust it from there.

I've been married to my hubby now for 3 years.

I'm aiming for approx. 2200 calories right now.  I was told by babyfit.com that I should consume between 2100 and 2400 calories right now.  I've been trying weight watchers but don't have time for meetings and even online has proven to be tough with 2 kids.

My internet connection at home is currently broken so not sure when I can check back.
