I breastfeed; I'll start in Phase 2

I posted questions about P1 yesterday but I guess I really need to start here since I breastfeed. My son will be one year old Saturday and I am working toward weaning him, but I want to make sure I am doing things in the healthiest way possible. I am choosing to start in P2 since we are still in the breastfeeding process. I am 5’5” and weigh 152. I have gone from 34 to 31% body fat in the past 6 weeks by exercising but haven’t modified my eating yet.

While I would love to look great in a bikini, I really need to take care of my health. My paternal grandfather died of a heart attack at 52 and my maternal grandmother died of a heart attack at 62. I am 36 and as I stated my son is going to be one on Saturday. I want to be around to participate in his life for a long, long time.

Good to “meet” everyone.

CONGRATULATIONS on nursing for a year!! That is a wonderful accomplishment and it makes me so happy to hear women say that. My daughter was nursed for a year as well, what a wonderful experience.

Good luck "on the beach!"
