  Ugh, I gained weight after going dairy-free for a few months. I honestly don't know wth happened. Maybe I just loaded up on carbs and grains? I don't even know, but it seems that I have a good 15 extra pounds sticking around until I'm done BF (I'm pretty short, so that's a lot for me). This is the most I've weighed not pregnant ever, and it really, really bums me out. The weight even shows in my face :'(

  I'm in the same boat. I also plan on letting DD self wean so it could be awhile before I'm back to normal. I think DH is tired of hearing me complain because he got me a gym membership for my birthday. So long as I feed her or pump beforehand, the sports bra (I got a good one) doesn't hurt even though it hold everything pretty firmly.

  Total confession? I refuse to go out and by new clothes so if I need to wear pants (ie Cold (I'm in FL) or travel for work) I still wear my maternity ones it's bad...

  I had to buy pants recently because my thighs no longer fit into my maternity pants. That means other than baby belly, I was actually leaner when I was 8-9 months pregnant. I just... I don't know... *hangs head in shame*

  OP sorry you are having issues! My little guy only nurses on one side too. He always favored one side but a few months ago he just stopped nursing from the other side altogether. My boobs are so lopsided and weird looking. I stuffed the smaller side with a pair of underwear the other day because I was so tired of the way it looks!

  I feel awful about myself too.  I have 10 lbs left from this pregnancy and 20 from the one before that.  I'm still nursing and I tend to hold on to weight while nursing so at this point, I'm thrilled with any weightloss.  I'm hoping I can get the rest off once he weans but like PP said, it will probably be around 5th grade since he loves the boob a bit too much.

  I got an enormous abscess from mastitis that we thought had gone away. I had to have surgery to remove it...it  was nuts! I decided to try on an underwire bra-my small boob is back to normal "D" the bra I tried on was a "DD" my big boob(LOL) was busting out of the DD from all sides while the small one was drowning. AHHH the things we go through to breastfeed! LOL

  Me too. I'm 150lbs - that's as much as I weighed when I was niche months pregnant. I too refuse to bug new clothes because I'm determined to lose the weight. I need to start working out, sigh.

  I still haven't lost 30 pounds of my baby weight. I lost 25 right away but the rest of it isn't going anywhere even with salads, water, chicken and none of the good stuff. I need to lose a total of 75 pounds to feel sexy again. Ugh, and to think we are TTC#2!!! Between my hanging belly, roadmap of stretch marks, and my floppy hangy boobs, I feel pretty gross!
