will i even lose?

Question

so im 5ft1 and 189.8 lbs.  2 months pp, and breastfeeding.   staying below 1490 cals a day, will i even lose on that???

Answer

Yes, pretty sure. I lost so much weight just breakfeeding alone

Answer

1500 seems a little high. I think that's recommended for men. 1200 for women and that's just to maintain weight.

Answer

Please don't cut your calories too much while breastfeeding !!

Answer

As a 3 time breastfeeding mom, I suggest GRADUALLY cutting back on your caloric intake.  Keep an honest food journal, write down everything that you eat or drink.  Start with cutting out 50-100 calories per day for one week, then another 50-100 per day the 2nd week, and so on until you are around 900-1000 calories per day.  If you do a crash diet or suddenly cut 500 or more calories from your daily routine then you could drastically reduce your milk supply.  It takes time to lose weight the right way.
