Building muscle while breastfeeding

[luvmylbb]

Is it possible to bulid muscle while breastfeeding?I have read somewhere that the hormones are thrown off a little making it very diificult if not impossible to do so. I am currently nursing a 13 month old that shows no signs of weaning about 4-5 times a day ( I know that sounds crazy) but I am not sure if I should stick to a fatloss rotaion or strength?I am looking to lose about 10-12 pounds.THank you

Hi there--

I had no trouble building muscle while breastfeeding. I also simultaneously lost fat. I know some say this is not possible, but it happened. I just weaned my 18 month old.

I don't know why, but I always lose more lbs/inches during the strength rotations.

take care
Maggie

your welcome

Let me know how your rotation works.

I have lost 43 lbs since my first weighing at 2 weeks post partum and I want to lose between 7-10 more lbs--about 1 more dress size. It has become more and more difficult the closer I get to my goal, but I'm hanging in there.

take care,
Maggie
