Forget it! I am not going to skip meals! I thought about it and my little girl needs her nourishment. I will exercise and make better choices when it comes to food. I just have to train my body that just because I am up in the middle of the night with the baby, it is not time to eat! LOL ↑

i din't have to lose any weight when i gave birth. i only gained 10lbs, and i was too skinny fbefore so if i had lost the weight i would have looked sickly. I have no idea what it's like to have to lose weight, so i really can't help ya ↑

aparantly breast feeding burns up to 1000 calories a day so if i were you i would just limit your fat intake and increase your exercise. Just make sure you keep up your fluid intake. ↑

Skipping meals can actually hurt your chances of losing weight. It also produces a chemical which can go into your milk. Modify your diet before you skip a meal. ↑

Did you breastfeed or did your child not survive the pregnancy? Skipping meals will not hurt your supply but it will hurt your mind. Breastfeeding is a once in a lifetime beautiful experience. weightloss anytime in life. Love your baby ↑
