For those who breastfed
when you stopped feeding - and you finally got your period - were you able to shed weight any easier? (yes, I'm on serious bathing suit countdown - 7 weeks to go until vacation!)

When I stopped feeding, I gained weight. I was used to eating as if I were breastfeeding and packed weight on very quickly (you saw the results )

Nope - I'm 15lbs over since I stopped breastfeeding Madeline (1.5 years ago..) and 30lbs since I first got pregnant with Madeline.

Re: For those who breastfed
Oh great. I'm starting to wean Joseph and I don't want to put any weight back on! I haven't been this skinny since jr hs! Maybe I'll just keep pumping!

Same here. I gained 20 pounds during my pregnancy, and lost 30 pounds by 3 weeks post partum (due to BF). I stopped BF at 9 weeks and slowly gained back 15 pounds that I'm still struggling to get off.

Re: For those who breastfed
I am at almost the most I have ever weighed. I have been breastfeeding for 10 months and weigh almostas much as I did when I was nine months pregnant. I am not the norm and hope when I stop that I lost the weight. I am so sad and disgusted on how I look.

Re: For those who breastfed
I got my period 6 months after birth, breastfed until 16months. During that time I lost 50 pounds (gained 25-30 with my pregnancy). I got really skinny. Lost it all within a couple months after birth too. I've been gaining weight slowly back. Your metabolism slows when you stop.

Same here. I started putting weight back on when he started eating solid foods regularly. He's not weaned yet but I've already noticed the weight. But I'm always hungry!!!

Me too, all my weight came off in 4 weeks or so and now I feel like I can't stop gaining again.

Re: For those who breastfed
Yes it did. Because I was able to eat like a normal person again and not rushing meals in between caring for my son and pumping. It came off very fast.
