Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Fast metabolism...

Has anyone else experienced an increase in their metabolism after birth? I am down 7 pounds to pre baby weight, which I'm not complaining about, but people are staring to ask my hubs if I'm eating or dieting.  I am eating my usual amount, not dieting at all, and in fact sometimes I need to make myself eat because I just don't have an appetite.

Would I be worried that I keep losing weight? Anyone else going through this?

I also believe that the fact I didn't go back on the pill has something to do with it....who knows!

Re: Fast metabolism...

  • My metabolism has always been fast. After having DD, I am hungry all the time. I lost 25 lbs and my weight has plateaued - but I am still 10 lbs above PP weight :(

    I am not on the pill and I BF.

    I've always been thin. I usually border on the BMI line between "underweight" and "normal". Now, I'm about 10 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight. (I'm 5'8", I'm currently down around 105 pounds. I would LIKE to be able to gain some muscle and weigh about 125!) I'm breastfeeding, but I'm also eating a ton of food!

  • Yeah, I'm now six pounds below my lowest pre-pregnancy weight in years. I weigh what I did senior year of high school and I'm still losing. No dieting, semi-regular walks, but no consistent work outs.
