Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Sucess with WW and bfeeding?

I just started WW on Saturday and was wondering if anyone here has had success with the program while breastfeeding?  It seems like I have a ton of points and I'm not even using the 35 weekly allowance - or at least I haven't needed it yet.  I'm just paraniod I'll get to weigh in and not have lost any weight.

  • I obviously can't spell now that I've had a baby....

  • I used it and lost all of my pregnancy weight by 2 months. I'm a little under now. BUT, just a fair warning, I still can't fit into any of my pre-preg clothes.

  • Did it affect your supply?

  • Yup!  I started Sept 1st and I've lost 8 lbs.  I've got about 8 more to go.  And FWIW, I'm not trying very hard... I splurge on weekends and the only exercise I get is walks w/ the baby.  I did WW pre-preg and I had to work a lot harder to lose the same weight.  BF-ing makes it come off so easy for me!

  • WW did not affect my milk supply at all.

  • While I was on maternity leave and bfeeding, I did WW and I lost 10 lbs in about a month.  I returned to work and I've been pumping so DS can have EBM at daycare and I had trouble keeping up with his demands.  I stopped doing WW and increased my calorie intake and my supply went back up.  I've decided to hold off on WW until DS is consuming more solids.

    I also have done WW pre-pregnancy and it works.  You have to experiment with your Flex Points, some people lose weight quicker if they use all 35 Flex Points (sounds counterintuitive, but it is true).  Don't be afraid to use them, the program is designed to help you succeed.  Drink plenty of water and try to get some activity points each day.

    Good luck!

     

  • I didn't have any issues with supply and I rarely get exercise (the most I do is crunches and walking.) And I lose weight so much quicker than I would if I wasn't BFing. Good luck. :)
