Or, well, the other way around... Hi girls! How is everybody? I'm baaaaaaaaack...back on CAD/CALP. I'm breastfeeding but I think this WOE should be okay for breastfeeding.

During my pregnancy I got up to (drumroll please) 215 pounds. Yes...that's right! I am five weeks postpartum now. I have lost 40 pounds so far. I want to lose another 40.

Here is my 5 weeks postpartum body:



...and here is my 5 weeks postpartum baby.



Evan Dane, born June 9th, 2006, weighing 7 lbs., 14 oz.; currently around 10.5 lbs. We love him so much. He is such a sweet, sweet angel.

Ohhh, little Evan is so cute...and alert too. Welcome back. I see no reason you cannot do this, but you should check Zuleika's vitamin D and Calcium protocols so you do not lose calcium from breast feeding. I have been doing Fitday and putting in what I eat to check my nutrition...and I am always under on Folate, Calcium, Vit D, and a few other things. I would supplement with your prenatal vit, for starters.

Oooh. Thanks for the heads-up, Mirielle. I will check out those vitamin requirements. I guess the calcium goes double for me since I've eliminated cow dairy from my diet--it was making Evan colic-ey.

Congratulations! He is gorgeous!

He's beautiful, Mel, but I can't see the pic of you. You've lost 40 lbs already? WOW! That is great! Keep up the good work!

What an adorable baby! Keep up the good work with your weight loss! It sounds like you have your head on straight!
