try not to eat too late..and no junk..i realised that i lost weight was also due to this (as my husband takes care of his weight..it rubs on to me too) besides the breastfeedign and sleepless nights.

To me..the biggest challenge is not losing the weight..but rather maintaining it.

I'm one of the lucky bf moms that lost weight while bf. I didn't lose much during the 1st 6 months (when exclusively bf) as I ate more than usual - can't help it..felt hungry easily- However, i made sure i ate healthy stuff like yoghurt, nuts etc in between meals. During normal meals..heeheh..i usually whack extra rice.

After 6 months, when my son started on solids, i cut down on my intake and after 1yr...i went back to my normal (before pregnant) size meals. Again, since I ate healthily during pregnancy and after, i remain to this. Only eat chocs or junk food once a blue moon. Also, since my style of cooking is matsalleh..i hardly take any rice...mostly just meat (protein) and salads with vinaigrette dressing.
