-i follow Mittleman's w/ some added milk, chicken, and oatmeal 3 times a week, for maintaining my (great) milk supply!

good luck to everyone, hope i can meet y'all!

Hi Clavicula, welcome

That's great that you are doing the extended breastfeeding. What is Mittlemans?

Looks like you are making good progress on your weight loss.

It seems I can go as low as 50 grams of carbs a day and keep my milk supply up just fine....as long as I drink lots of water!

FYI for breastmilk supply - I buy a Mother's Milk tea at my farmer's market. Brand: Traditional Medicinals. Contains organic bitter fennel fruit, organic aniseed fruit, organic caraway fruit, and organic nettle herb. The instructions are to drink 3-5 cups a day, but I find that one is more than enough to increase my milk supply. I think if I wanted to pump extra milk I'd drink more than one cup of this tea per day. This tea seems to help regardless of food composition or intake.

I hope you enjoy the pictures of Abbie and Kendra.

Great pics!! Thanks for sharing Your girls are so cute

Yeah I know they are cute, love them lots. But to me most babies are very cute.
I'm ready to start back to being what I can be, and doing what I can. I'm going to pull out my books and start reading. I'm going to get a walk in everyday, and slowly get the weight training back in place. These are my goals.
