Hi Gilmoregrl! Maybe you should edit the title of this thread to Postpartum Weight Loss Club or something - count me in! Of course your stats are HALF that of mine (ok, that's exaggerating LOL but your goal weight is half of what I am now!). I'm not BFing but I've got the jelly roll and I need to start getting this pregnancy weight off. SB is a great choice for BFing I think. PP (Protein Power) is also a great option. I'm currently trying to get back in line with how I was eating before (ala PPLP) but keeping the fat up (because I can't eat that often). It's a slow road, but you have to start somewhere!

BTW, JudyNYC is a great resource for questions re: SB and Dane is a great resource for LCing, weight lifting, being a mom and BFing. There are lots of great people here to help, but those two just struck me as good options for your specific needs.

Good luck!!

Nice to meet you! I find that LC is the only "diet" (WOL) that I can do while BF. A couple other unmentionable diets made my milk go south.
