4 Pregnancies Later, Today I Returned to Onederland!

5’6” SW 225, CW 198 (July 1st 2020 - Today)! Highest weight between pregnancies was probably around 250 a few years ago.

Am 6 months postpartum and never thought I could make it this far this fast in my weight loss journey this fast—particularly without having a drop in my breastfeeding supply. I used not wanting to risk a milk supply drop as an excuse before (I know dieting does def effect some like this of course) but I’m lucky in that I make just as much milk as before. I was careful to keep tabs on that as I lost because as important as it is to me to lose weight/get healthier I care even more about breastfeeding my baby.

A lot of people claim that breastfeeding makes the weight just fall off and probably it would be easy to think that just from this post— but I swear losing weight while breastfeeding is actually harder for me. Yes I burn more calories but it makes me extremely hungry—particularly when I’m awake at 3am to feed my baby 🙃

I started lifting heavy weights 2x a week around 10 weeks ago, which I love doing as I’m a naturally muscular person and it makes me appreciate my body even if I don’t love it just yet.

I’m doing lazy CICO, low carb (but not quite Keto- guessing I have around 30 carbs a day). I stalled for a few weeks before I started taking IF seriously. I do 19:5 6 days a week and one OMAD 1x a week.

Just wanted to share as I’m too embarrassed to share my numbers with IRL friends so here I post to my r/loseit family :)

Next Goal: 175 before my baby turns 1!
