You sound just like me except I’m 3 years out and you just had your baby so I don’t really have an excuse lol. The whole process is overwhelming, I wanted to stop breastfeeding so many times just to have my body back and feel a little like my old self. I know it seems like it’s never ending now but it’s temporary and you’re doing your best to take care of your baby. That’s great for all those people that just lost weight right away but I didn’t and I know plenty of other women who couldn’t lose any weight while nursing.

Thanks Isis, it’s nice to have support from other women that know what it’s like!

Hi Armika,

Having breastfed 3 kids I can tell you trying to lose weight while breastfeeding is hard let alone the stress of being a new mom and trying to figure everything out. You’re doing something great for yourself and everything will get easier! I’m still trying to lose weight and my last was born almost 3 years ago. I just joined today too, you’re not alone in the struggle!
