Re: Weaned LO at 4.5 months and gaining weight!!!
I gained weight after I weaned both my kiddos. I think it just happens...honestly...I would recommend joining Weight Watchers online to keep track of calories in calories out. Also, I honestly think our bodies have their own timeline. For me it wasn't until my first child was 18 months until the weight finally came off. I was started really trying when DS was about a year. At the 18 month mark I really wasn't doing anything different...maybe a little more excersise-but the weight FELL off...like 3 lbs a week some weeks. Over the next 3 months I lost all the weight and toned up with a good work-out program.
This time around-see ticker below for DD's age, I lost while I was BFing for the first 4 months but then the weight stayed on and I gained back about 10 lbs. I have been working out like crazy for about a month and eating healthy. I have lost NO WEIGHT! I have toned down same and my clothes fit looser-but weight has stayed the same. I'm trying WW now. Honestly though, I think my body will drop the weight when it is ready...prob 18 mos is my guess...
