 Great! Let's do it! Do you want to keep talking through this forum post or privately through messages? Either way is fine with me. If we keep it through the post, we might get more people to join us. Here's a little more about me:

My name is Jenny, and I just had my second baby two months ago. I am breastfeeding and plan to continue for a year. That makes the dieting a little trickier. I've gained and lost the same 20 lbs my whole life. Now I am trying to lose it for good (plus the 15 lbs of baby weight). I'm in the military so that helps with being forced to exercise for the tests twice a year, but my command doesn't have mandatory exercise so I have to do it on my own.

Let's hear more about you!

I started my diet today. I am going to stay between 1800-2000 calories. I've heard from a nutritionist that anything less than 1800 while breastfeeding can affect your supply. I track my calories on LiveStrong.com. I am trying to eat 5 fruits/veggies a day, and I'm going to start exercising more. My maternity leave ends Wednesday, so starting then I will hit the gym before work. That's my plan! I hope I can stick to it!

What's your plan?

 Come on buddies! Who wants to join me? Week One: 5.5 lbs down!!! I know that's not sustainable but it sure is a good start! I've been successful at eating 5 fruits/veggies a day and drinking a lot of water. Looking forward to losing the rest!
