Breastfeeding and weightloss....

[diznynurse]

Am i the only one who is breastfeeding and not looseing weight! I hate to hear ladies say "oh I lost all my baby weight when I BF". :rolleyes: I'm a chunker...and can't lose the weight!!!!!!!

[Jenni]

I never did.

I'll have to get back to you on that one. I know quite a few women IRL who didn't see any change in their weight while BFing. At least not without making a conscious effort to lose weight (dieting/working out).

I never do, it sucks :( Everyone told me how weight just melted off them, all their pants were falling down etc... but not me!

I was down to 5 lbs over my pre-preg weight by around 6 months pp and I swear that 5 lbs was all boob. Once I started going to the gym all the time when he was around a year old I lost the rest of it (and was still nursing).

I always stay about 5lbs above what my pre-preg weight is and then once I stop bfing I lose it. :)

I hang on to the weight too. Don't feel bad. I know I won't drop the last 20lbs no matter how much I stop eating.

With Matthew I never went down past 165 I think.

Yeah I never did with Isbaella and so far I'm not with Jude either :rolleyes:

I've heard of lots of women who didn't lose much while nursing. I think it's more genetics than breast feeding that does it.

After having Ben I dropped my pregnancy weight very fast but stopped at my pre-pregnancy weight and didn't go any further. This time I dropped the pregnancy weight pretty quickly (I think most of it was fluid :hehe:) and now I'm down about 15 more pounds. Between Tank eating like a horse (he eats a lot more frequently than Ben did) and me barely finding time to scarf something down I've lost a ton of weight. Not an incredibly healthy way to do it though. :blush: :hehe:

I have never been able to loose weight while breastfeeding. Not even when I tried really hard. I'd maybe loose 10lbs, and then I'd be stuck for MONTHS. I just gave up.
