Boo! Over the last two weeks when I have only nursed DD once a day, I have gained 5 pounds! Gah! Before this, I was less than a pound from pre-pg weight, too. Apparently I didn't realize just how much I was able to eat whatever I wanted while BFing... Who knew eating dessert every night would come back to haunt me....? Ha!

Because we're fancy like that.

Re: Weaning = weight gain :-(
Same here. While bfing, I weighed the least I have weighed since high school. I've gained 7 pounds since weaning, about 4 weeks ago, although that also coincided with me starting Estrace (and Christmas), so I'm not exactly sure to what I can attribute the gain. I blame it on weaning, lol.
me too.
Turns out I don't have a magical ability to eat ice cream and candy and not gain weight. Humph.
Because we're fancy like that.
Same thing happened to me. I had a friend at work tell me the whole time I was bf'ing to just wait because the weight gain would happen. I didn't listen to her and I paid the price!
It goes on so fast....and comes off so slow. Argggh!
