Breastfeeding & Weight Loss… Double Edged Sword

So in the beginning, breastfeeding was absolutely fantastic for my weight loss.  By Halloween (Less than 2 months post partum) I was down to my pre-pregnancy weight of 162 lbs.  Very exciting stuff, right?  Absolutely.  Here’s the rub.  I really want to be somewhere between 145 & 150.

So what’s the problem?

Every time I get on the right track to eat “less” (more greens, less carbs) and get any sort of a work out schedule going, there’s a significant decrease in my milk supply – and I end up giving up because I want to be able to continue breastfeeding as long as possible…  Let’s be honest, it’s free – and I’m cheap!

So I’m dying to know – what’s worked for you?  How have you managed to curb the fat and keep up your supply?

I KNOW I’m not the only one asking, so let’s hear it ladies!

Sincerely,

~Nikki
