XP: I am gaining weight!

This may be more of a vent, but I'm wondering if anyone had a similar experience and/or has any tips...

I gained 16lbs during pregnancy, and within a few weeks after birth I lost it all. Once 6 weeks hit I got on the mini pill and gradually began gaining weight. I was walking, drinking a ton of water, and eating pretty much the same as I always had been, but the weight just kept creeping back. I am now up 15lbs, basically at what I weighed right before giving birth.

I decided to up my workouts and begin running again and my supply TANKED. I made lactation cookies, took fenugreek, and drank mother's milk tea. And, I stopped running. Supply came back thank goodness. I'm now giving walking a try again and putting my running on hold.

UGH it is so frustrating. I'm on the larger side and need to lose weight. But having my supply tank was so scary! Any words of wisdom?

TIA!!

Did you eat more calories while you were exercising? You might need to up your calorie intake when working out to avoid your supply tanking.
