!!The Milky Mommy Weightloss Thread!!

Okay. Just wrote out the stats as good as I could on the first post. Feel free to correct me if anything is wrong. Even though some of you have already been losing, I still used your current weight as a 'start' weight. So none of us have lost since joining this thread IYKWIM. Sadly, my goal weight is bigger than all your start weights.I guess I'm the big girl of the group.
lilysmum2- I don't have your stats. so feel free to tell me and I'll add you on!! I didn't forget about you.
Should hope not lady! I brought this thought to mind

I tend to weigh myself every day. But than I get frustrated when I see no progress so I probably should start just doing it once a week.
How'd the weigh in go today massacubano?
I was doing it everyday. Then just before the dang
I was bloated.. like climbing up in numbers. I got depressed and put the scale back in the closet. 
LOL @ leggings... I only wear black ones.. and have long sweaters covers any Ass-ets showing.
They are less expensive than jeans. I never got to get into this whole "skinny jean" trend... I like the look of denim and uggs... (sorry my boot fetish is showing)The weigh in was .... 1 pound. 142.6 ? don't update yet... I may go back up knowing my body...

sorry spam-o-matic mode...
Does anyone know of a good estimate on how many calories us milky mommy folk need?
how many have you been told you need... I assume it varies on how old baby is and how often nursing.

I always just go with "If I'm hungry, I eat." Of course, this has taken some getting used to , to figure out whether I'm hungry, or just bored. However, those snacks are super healthy, instead of the junk I used to eat. I don't count calories, so to tell me I need a specific number of calories is useless to me, iykwim.

I'm always starving. 
That's how I got fat in the first place.

I know right! I was eating an apple like 1/2 hour ago b/c that is all I have in the house that is "safe" and would keep me semi full...
Just seems after I nurse I could eat like a steak dinner or something

Apples never keep me satisfied. I guess I need to just deal with it and my actual stomach will shrink so it doesn't hold as much food.

I wrote a whole deal about "full bars" in my journal... they work but are so expensive.
170 calories but, I have zero desire to eat for up to four hours... and you feel normal... no hunger pains.. (sound like a commercial don't I?)

Well I just went out and walked for 30 minutes, in the dark, by myself and with Emma of course. I always feel so dumb walking by myself outside. But honestly it was nice. I liked the quiet. And Emma loved all the christmas lights that are decorating my neighborhood right now. I think I might make it a regular thing. And before anyone freaks out about weather and Emma being in the cold, I'm in southern california. We don't have that issue.
MikaylasMummy- Hi hun! :wave: I will add you tomorrow if it's okay with you. I'm exhausted but I'll do the conversion tomorrow and update the first post.
Remind me if I forget too. I bet that weight will just melt off with the breastfeeding. I know how it is with the c-section though. I had one too and it was a good 3 months before I felt normal again. Mine had some complications so it usually doesn't take that long. 
Night girls! :wave:

An apple won't keep you full. You need a protein to keep you full. Try putting a bit of peanut butter on that apple and that should do the trick.
