POLL: when you stopped BFing did you lose weight, gain, or no change?

I am just curious.  I am sad and feeling terribly guilty about it, but I think it may be getting close to time to wean.  I was really hoping to get the boys through the winter and make it to at least Feb but not even sure we will make it that far at this point.  I have had a clogged duct in at least one side every other day for the last two weeks.  My supply seems to be dropping and I really need some sleep.  One DS is STTN and the other is still getting up once.  I still wake in the middle of the night to pump (it is the only way that I can keep up with their demands) but I just don't know how much longer I can do it. I have also been on an exclusion diet for so long now and would love to eat regular foods.  I feel selfish and am not sure I will start weaning, but these are all the thoughts going through my head.

Plus I am curious (right now I am 10lbs below my pre pg weight). So...

  • When I stopped pumping for my son, I had been down 13 pounds below pp weight.  However, I failed to stop eating like I was pregnant or BF so I gained it all back.  I was not happy since pp weight was already overweight for me.
  • I slowly gained weight over the course of about a year, back to my pre pregnant weight.  At my lowest I was probably 10 lbs below pre pregnancy weight.I always seem to level off around the same number...

  • I stopped at 5 weeks pp. I had lost all my pg weight, but soon after stopping gained 5 pounds.
  • I pumped for a year and was 13lbs. under my pre preg weight.  I have gained about 2lbs. since stopping but I just started back to running at the gym which I couldn't do while pumping because my boobs were too big and exercising seemed to hurt my supply. 
  • My problem was that I was pg and then EBF for a year and I was so used to eating that way that I didn't sop so I packed on 10lbs from my pre-preg weight.  That on top of the way my body shifted from having a baby was not a pretty sight.
