file Dieting and breastfeeding

I lost an additional 10kgs ontop of my initial pregnancy weight within the first 6 weeks of baby's birth. She is now 9 weeks and it has stagnated unfortunately.
I'm very grateful but still have 25kg to lose :(

I am following Weight Watchers this past week. They have a breastfeeding plan too which basically accommodates around 2 glasses of milk a day.

I must say I am not one of those who seem to loose weight easily while breastfeeding, it never worked with my daughter. And I get a lot more hungry than usual too. So I do have to follow a kj restricted diet to ensure I loose weight.
Here's to those 25kg's!
(Not the best time of year to try loose weight hey!)

First angel resting 25/06/2009 stayed with us a short 7 weeks but we still miss you.

I lost most of my pregnancy weight in the first 6 weeks but I have a stubborn 4kgs that just won't budge. I have done Weigh Less before and thinking of joining in Jan again. Another important thing is exercise. I have bought a pedometer and a Wii fit so I can squeeze in exercise during nap times etc.

Hi Lil

In my opinion the best plan to follow is weigh less. It's very healthy, you get enough in to not affect your milk supply and it works. They have a special breast feeding plan for moms.

Hi ladies

Has anyone succeeded in losing weight while breastfeeding? And which plan did you use?

My baby is now 7 weeks, and I was thinking of starting when she is 12 weeks.

Any ideas?
