BREAST FEEDING: Difficult time to loss weight when you need more calories to feed your baby. Deminished food intake might affect milk secretion needed for lactation. Suggest exercise to augment weight loss.

Priorities : I would first consult with a nutritionist and lactation consultant. You need adequate calories to produce milk and avoid a catabolic state. It is important to support sufficient fat, protein and carbohydrates. Exercise is also a great way increase tone and increase muscle bulk and enhanced body contouring.
