I sooo understand the nursing thing, my body hangs on to weight

during nursing as well....and I cannot loose weight when I nurse.

Different bodies react to different things different ways...I know

personally on this challenge, I HAVE to avoid bread, rice and

potatoes..for carbs I am using good old fruits and veggies, and that

was what my body needed to start dropping weight...maybe experiement

a little with it and see what works for you.
