Has anyone ever trained for a marathon while nursing a baby and doing Weight Watchers? |
Technically, I would get 30 pts a day (20 plus 10 nursing pts.) plus earning 3-5 activity points per day. However, the baby only nurses 3-4 times per day and as a lifetime, I maintain at 22 pts per day. I have been giving myself only 2, instead of the 10 extra for nursing making my daily allowance 24 pts. Now add running 20-30 miles per week and I don't know how many freaking points to use!!! If I add activity points, sometimes I gain, sometimes not. I just wonder if anyone else in the world has ever combined WW, nursing and marathon training and has any advice!?! Thanks! Side note: This is the 2nd child I have breastfed into her 2nd year of life. Weight Watchers DOES have a program for nursing mothers and I'm not looking for breasfeeding advice. I'm looking specifically for people who have been in the same situation. Thanks. I haven't been in your situation but I am a leader and here's the advice I'd give you. Since you know you normally maintain at 22 points, I'd add 10 pts total (doesn't matter if they are the extra 10 or the activity - a point is a point), if you maintain at that stay there, if you lose add a point or two. If you gain, drop a point or two. Keep adjusting this way until you maintain. You really shouldn't be trying to diet while breastfeeding. Weight watchers isn't designed for breastfeeding mothers, it specifically states that on their website. In addition to what Prettycolordrocks said, the extensive training you're doing for the marathon will dramatically decrease the amount of breastmilk you're producing. Your baby is far better off with breastmilk than formula for many reasons. |
