Weaning and weight loss

Just curious if anyone has seen more success with weight loss after weaning. I'm still breastfeeding and have had an awful time losing weight. Ds is still up sometimes every two hrs and my doc said a lot if this could be lack of sleep. Could be my post 29yo metabolism? Could be that my bed is more attractive than the eliptical at nap time? Anyway just curious about your experience. Am i just wishful thinking?

    I've been having a better time since we weaned three weeks ago, and I attribute it to me not being so damn hungry all the time! I lost that initial 20 lbs right after having her and then the rest had kinda just been clinging on, and I'm only 23! Hopefully now I continue downwards!!

    When I was nursing DD I hung on to the last 10 pounds until we weaned.  Almost instantly that weight fell off.  Some women just need to keep some added pounds on to keep their supply up.  Its much more common than people realize as all anyone hears is how breastfeeding makes you lose weight.

    Ugh yes, that's all i heard when pregnant! U can eat whatever u want! Yeah right! At least not for me. Have a friend in the neighborhood who breastfed twins. She looks like a toothpick now and used to be heavier than me. I was so excited but it didn't work that way for me : but hopefully it will be easier once he's weaned! Fingers crossed!

    Today is 4 weeks from when I weaned...and the weight hasn't melted off like I'd thought/hoped! I definitely thought especially since my boobs were huge that I'd drop at least 10!! Still waiting...

    I lost all of my pregnancy weight by about 3 months PP, but since weaning a little over 3 weeks ago, I've lost additional weight. We don't have a scale, so I don't know how much, but I can tell my pants and tops are much looser than they were just a month ago. I also feel like I'm not as hungry anymore as I was while nursing. I feel bad about weaning actually, and I would have hung on to the weight to keep BFing. DS just wasn't interested anymore.
