weight loss and breastfeeding

I am breastfeeding my 10 month old and I am wanting to start losing this weight I put on with both pregnancies. I am currently 170lbs and that is only 10 lbs lighter than what I was when I delivered and exactly how much I was when I got pregnant. I am wanting to get down to at least 130. I am looking for healthy meal options and exercise options that won't mess with my supply. I know the basic eat more fruits and veggies thing but that is what I have been doing and it isn't helping. Anyone willing to share their meal plans with me and help me out some. I guess I am just looking for support. I have to fix meals for 6 people and sometimes a quick easy meal is a must. When I loose my focus is in the grocery store, I go in planning to get healthy ingredients and come out with the same old stuff as always. More not so good things and few healthy things -sigh-

Do you make a list when your shopping and tell yourself to stick just to that list?

Quoting March 2013:" Do you make a list when your shopping and tell yourself to stick just to that list?"

yes sometimes but I still end up coming out with things not on the list because DH throws stuff in the cart, and then he starts getting aggravated so I have to hurry through the store. Some times I will get something thinking it is going to a healthy option but turns out it isn't so healthy ahh iit is all so confusing

I have GD while pregnant..and they don't want my sugars being high..well high sugars cause extra fat also...so what I have noticed most isn't necesarly the foods its the serving size that you eat. Some serving sizes are pretty small but if you kept to that then it wouldn't be extra in your body. Does that kinda make sence? All I know is I haven't gained anyweight and im 26w. I have been told not to any more weight but not that I couldn't stay the same for a bit longer. I usually buy my girls some goldfish right before I start shoping they snack on those and I go thru the store. My husband won't do the groceries because Im so picky and he isn't. lol.

lol yea that makes sense My husband gets aggravated because I like to stop and look for the things I want and he will just walk buy grab it and go he doesn't look at what he is getting I guess I will just have him keep our 2 year old and go shopping with just me and the baby lol

my meals are like spegetti but with more meat then just a lb. carrots, alittle garlic bread, and water. eggs and a piece of toast for breakfast, pasta salad with added chicken to help with the protien. Like i said im on a restricted diet but adding protien helps from regulate blood sugar. small amounts of fruit. we like pizza so I make homemade and add as much toppings as we like. more toppings more filling less carbs. I hope it helps..
