... I keep using breast feeding as an excuse to eat too much and as a result have basically lost none of the 20 pounds I gained. I really want to lose the weight so I can start trying for LO #2. HELP!!! I was overweight before I got preg so need to lose the 20 and then some. I find it so hard being tired with little one and stressed and just making excuses all the time I can't get motivated.
