weight loss and supply

I think the weight loss/supply thing really varies from woman to woman. I never had a problem with moderate exercise (brisk walking, aerobics, running, mowing grass on a hill, etc.) as long as I was careful to stay hydrated. But I know that others on the board have posted that they were not able to do much exercise at all without seeing a big supply drop. I also have dropped 15 lbs below my pre-preg weight over the past year without really meaning to (or needing to) - I eat whenever I'm hungry, but just continue to lose a couple of pounds a month. But I know that others have posted that they can't even lose much of the baby weight without a supply hit. I think it really depends on metabolism/hormones, and you will have to find what works for you. Maybe start with a reduced amount of exercise, and make sure you drink plenty of fluids and up your calories a bit to compensate for what you are burning off. Even if you can't lose all the weight you would like to until you wean, you may be able to at least get into better shape and therefore feel better!
