As much as I hate that exclamation, it fits here! For the first time, breastfeeding is helping me with weightloss, instead of hindering it. By sticking to a calorie budget instead of eating until I am full from any old food I want to, I have managed to lose 4.2 pounds this week! And once I got through the first few days of breaking my sugar/starch cravings, it wasn't even bad. I wasn't hungry and wasn't finding it too difficult to stick with. I am eating enough calories that, without breastfeeding, I can lose 1-1.5 pounds a week. But with nursing, especially when Seth is having a growth spurt and eating every hour? That consumes a HUGE amount of calories!

I may lose a little of that tomorrow, it was lower than I expected and perhaps I was dehydrated or something like thst, but I absolutely believe at least three of those pounds are real caloric deficit losses. I have been so happy to be on plan, this is just a nice cherry on top. If I can lose 2-ish pounds a week I will see 199 by the end of the year, which would be such a nice beginning to the next year. It's well within my grasp, and even if I cant make it due to a stall, as long as I stick with my plan I am well on my way :)

From 215.6 to 211.4.... Not bad, not bad at all!
