dramatic weight loss while BFing

NHMountainBride

Anyone else experience this?  I gained 40lbs during pregancy, and at this point, I've lost 55.  I swear it's due to breastfeeding, since my diet has changed very little since having DD.  I also no longer have time to exercise, so some weight loss is probably due to muscle loss.  Just wondering if I'm alone...  no flames please...

I did! I was 170 before delivery and 2 weeks after I was down to 133. I am now less than I was before getting pregnant! I just need to tone the fluff from my c section!

I weigh less and my clothes still don't fit!

I too credit breast feeding!

I was like that with DD, ended up 20 lbs below what I was when I got pregnant with her at one point, although it creeped back on as I weaned, then got pregnant again.

This time not so much    I've lost the weight I'd gained with him, but nothing fits.  Even less than after DD, even though I weighed less.

I'm with u ladies on this one. I have been EPing and lost all my baby weight and then some pretty early on. I had to get a whole new summer wardrobe cuz all my old stuff was now to big. i just finished pumping so now I need to watch myself to make sure I dont gain it back!!

i gained over 50 lbs and the first 30 came off really quickly - within the 1st few weeks. but the last 20 lingered until 3 months or so and now it's melting off. i too credit bfing b/c i'm not exercising or watching my diet.

Yeah, I worry I'll gain it all back when I wean...  Maybe that will motivate me to exercise?  Who the heck has time!  You look great in your siggy pic, by the way!

I'm 10 lbs under pre-pg weight and attribute it to bfing also.  I'm kinda sad about weaning soon, but mostly because I'm fairly sure I'll gain weight if I'm not super careful!
