without sounding like doom and gloom, arent those of us breast feeding supposed to eat 3000 calories a day?

Wow didn't realise it was 3000! Just thought 500 more so around 2200-2500?
Either way I tried calorie counting for 2 weeks at the 2200-2500 mark and gave up cake and chocolate and Fin didn't put on much weight over those 2 weeks so I've binned the idea of loosing weight until he is not needing my milk.
I do exercise regularly mind-walking dogs for 1-2 hours each day.

I just checked with my doctor and she said yes, about 3000 is right, but that i could benefit from less fatty stuff in those calories and so I'm going to try to cut the crisps completely and limit the chocolate, but still consume as many calories just get it from better things.

You can also still burn those extra cals you need to eat. And healthy cals are better than un-healthy cals. For example 1 bar of chocolate is about 260 cals, instead of that you could have a banana (100) a yogurt (100) and an apple (50)

Well, I was feeling rather smug that i probably didn't need to join this thread, but after stepping on the scales at 2am this morning, I'm hanging my head and jumping on the bandwagon!

I weighed:
Before pregnant 8 1/2 stone
Full term 10 stone
After baby 9 stone (I figured 1/2 stone weight gain was no problem)
At 2am this morning (baby 7 weeks old) 9 stone 4 lb.

I had dropped a couple of pounds since LO was born, but it looks like I've put on half a stone in the past couple of weeks! I've got into some eating habits which I haven't had for years (when I used to weight 10stone and wasn't pregnant!) and I don't want to go back there!

I don't really want to diet as such while breastfeeding, so I'm here to try to cut out the chocolate and biscuit eating and to try to snack on healthy food! I guess I'd ;ike to be around 8 stone 10 lb by end of April / mid-May.

Good luck everyone! We can do it!
