Hi everyone,
I've decided that I really have to do SOMETHING to help myself lose weight.

Welcome, Erin!
Welcome!
We're definitely here to help you out, just ask any questions you may have and don't be shy around this rowdy bunch. ;)
Hi Erin, Welcome! I am new to this board too, I've only been here a couple of weeks. I joined WW two weeks ago tomorrow. Good for you already losing all of your baby weight. am still working on it and I don't know if I'll be finished by 6 months:)
My ds Luke was born 4/14 and I am using 10 points extra per day because I am nursing. I lost 3.6 lbs my first week, but I expect it to taper off to about 1 lb per week anytime. I weighed in at 160 also and with nursing points, I get 32 points per day plus 35 flex points (I think they call them) to use any time during the week.
FYI: Your son Jacob was born on my birthday:)
Good for you wanting to be even better.

Welcome to the board and congrats on your new baby!
Erin, try eating a little more and make sure you're getting plenty of water & good foods (I've heard oatmeal is good for milk production).
Hi Erin,
I saw your post about stressing and working and pumping. It is hard to fit it all in, isn't it? Some women have gallons in freezer stash but I just figured out how to pump and get enough to freeze while working too. Sorry your job is having longer hours.
Have you visited the working and pumping board? http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ppworkpump They are great support. They have helped me to W&P for 2 months with no supplementation. (DS is 4 months and we haven't supplemented while working at all. Without that board, we would have supplemented though. I'm not against formula, it's just easier for *me* to do bf only and not both.)
Good luck, and hang in there. Life does get easier:)
