Anyone actually lost weight with WW while nursing?

I started yesterday and can't believe how many points I get.  Plus, fruits are now free.  I had a third of my points left by bedtime and had no idea what to eat to spend them.

I just can't imagine that I'll lose much, if any, weight eating so much.  I'll be eating MORE if I follow the plan than before I started.  (Granted, I will be eating more fiber and fruits/veggies, so I'm sure that's better, but still...)

  • I did after having Paul, I lost 25 pounds in 5 months I think it was. I felt great and I rarely used all of my points.
  • I did while nursing DS. I also could not believe how much food I was able to eat while losing weight.

  • I have lost 15 lbs since January, nursing part time.  But, I generally do not use my "bonus points" and have a few points left over at the end of the day.  You should try to use at least the 29 points, so that your supply doesn't dip.
  • I felt the same way, but I did lose. I lost about 40lbs on it (started it while nursing but about halfway through losing the 40lbs, I had stopped nursing). At first I thought it was great how much I could eat and still lose but then when I stopped nursing, it was really difficult for about two weeks while I adjusted to not having all those extra points.

  • I sure hope so, I'm planning to join in a few weeks!! Going to give myself a while to seer what just comes off, and establish my supply, but I plan to be much more proactive about losing the baby weight this time (ether than waiting till baby is over a year old!)

    I lost 10 in 3 weeks. I didn't feel like I had an over abundance of points though. I think in general I am just used to eating way too much though.

    The lack of BFing points makes me scared to try it again now that I'm done.
