I finally had my appointment with the RDN today (they kept rescheduling), and it turns out 1800 should be the minimum number of calories I can have each day without sacrificing my milk supply. Good to know because I was considering dropping to 1500 😅 They said my goal should be to lose 1lb a week, 4 lbs a month. Ugh, does that seem so slow! But I have to do what's best for my boy and it won't be for forever. My goal is to breastfeed for at least 6 months to a year. Once finished, I can cut back to 1300 cals a day, which would be my preference.

Glad you found out and that you're making great choices for him.
I know when you want to lose quickly, and that one pound a week seems slow, but that's 52 pounds in a year. That really is a significant loss.

I'm about your height. I lost 60lbs in a year. I started eating 1800 calories a day. I never dropped below 1400 cals as I neared goal. I also only lost 1lb a week as it got closer. Often not losing anything for 2 weeks, then losing the 4 lbs all during the next 2 weeks. Don't get too worried or discouraged. You'll do it. Allow yourself the time. Consistency and patience and faith in the process is what worked best for me. You can do it!
