Gaining weight?

Is anybody gaining weight again?  I dropped my pregnancy weight very quickly and even got to my lowest adult weight 3 months pp but now I'm gaining weight again and fast!  I am still breastfeeding and haven't really changed my diet so I don't understand why I'm gaining so much.

    Unfortunately but it's my own fault.  While I was pregnant I wanted absolutely nothing to do with sugar.  Once DD was born I entirely BF for the 1st month and droped all my pregnancy weight plus 5 pounds.  At about 2 months pp something flipped and now I want sugar all the dang time! It's time to kick this sugar habit I've formed! I've heard of many women who BF and are hungry quite a bit because of the extra calories they burn while breast feeding. Maybe change up your diet a little? A few less carbs and more fruits and veggies? Good luck :-)

    If you are suddenly gaining weight, ask to have your thyroid function checked.  Easy blood test.  I'd lost all my baby weight really quickly when LO was in the hospital for 17 days, and had slowly gained it all back, and then some.  Even cutting back, I was still gaining.  Happened to have my thyroid checked at a well-woman appointment, and my thyroid is all out of whack.  Come to learn that up to 10% of women have thyroid issues after pregnancy.  Good luck!

    I lost all the pregnancy weight while bf'ing, which only lasted 7 weeks before we weaned to formula.  I just started gaining weight the last month - and I've been a sugar addict completely.  I started running Saturday night with my dog and I think that'll be my ticket to weight loss, but I may also have my thyroid checked just in case...
