BFing Moms- Weight loss question
I'm EBFing my 2 month old. I have been exercising 6 days a week since my 6 week check up. I make sure to eat the right amount of calories, drink a lot of water, etc. I have not lost a single pound!
I have noticed my clothes fitting differently, but is it normal to not lose any weight yet? When did you start to see the weight fall off? I'm starting to get discouraged a little bit. I know I should be happy I'm at least gaining muscle, but I want to drop this weight.

Re: BFing Moms- Weight loss question
Everybody is different. I lost most of my weight 1 month pp but I'm still holding on to 6 lbs. I don't exercise at all, although I should. It will come off. I know it sounds paradoxical, but maybe cut back on exercising?

Re: BFing Moms- Weight loss question
For me I lost a certain amount while bf (although it seemed to take forever) and then the last 12 pounds didn't come off until after I had completely stopped..... 2+ years later....

Re: BFing Moms- Weight loss question
I know that the first 40 pounds came off super quick because of BFing...
I don't know if it was the calorie burning or the fact that I never had a spare moment to eat
As I cut back on feedings, slowly the scale is moving.
I am a major walker and lift weights 3 times a week.

Re: BFing Moms- Weight loss question
25 lbs came flying off by 3 weeks...the rest came off little by little. 3 months pp I was down 30lbs. Be careful when you stop...the 8-10lbs creep up back very quickly.
