Breastfeeding: You will already lose weight more quickly if you are breastfeeding. Don't try too hard to lose weight though - you need to take in enough to provide for both yourself and your baby.

Discuss with PCP: Work with your pcp or nutritionist to decide on a proper food intake that would support your pre-pregnancy weight. Then just stay on that program and continue to breastfeed. You can drop 1-3 pounds a month with this method ; it should stay off.
