Calories!!! UGH!! Too many, too little, where's the happy medium?

I gained 80lbs with my son. He is now 4 months old and I have only lost 40lbs of it and I'm MISERABLE. I know I would be a better person to be around if I could lose the weight but I'm breastfeeding so it's very confusing and difficult. Too little calories and my son starves and I gain weight, too many and i gain weight. How can I figure out how many calories is good for me to lose weight and breastfeed healthily. I try to exercise on my yoga ball with my son, walking is painful because my feet are all messed up from the pregnancy and we live in a shady neighborhood which makes it hard to go out safely with my son. Sounds like a lot of excuses, I know, but I'm really just trying to find a healthy balance and it's not so easy. What exercises do you suggest for a mom stuck at home, hardwood floors, rheumatoid arthritis and a 4 month old?

Weight Watchers online worked for me.

My friend has RA also - you should have a physiotherapist/occupational therapist recommend some good exercises for you.

Good luck!
