Breastfeeding and can't stop eating?

Question

breastfeeding is making me so hungry and I just really want to get rid of the extra weight after pregnancy. My before pregnancy weight was 140, I went up to about 190 by the end of my pregnancy, I'm 3 months post partum and I'm 155. My goal is to get down to 130 but the past month I just been eating a lot more than I'd like to. I can't stop it feels like. Any tips on what I can do to put off this extra weight while breastfeeding.

Answer

It took me 10 months to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight (just in time to get pregnant again, haha!). But what you're saying sounds normal--one thing I've said many, many times is that I was hungrier while breastfeeding than I was at any point in my pregnancy!

Answer

Maybe your not eating a well balanced diet? Try eating more healthy & drink lots of water:)

Answer

Sound normal. When breastfeeding you should be in taking 300-500 extra calories. Some people cannot lose the weight (like myself). It's all worth it though!!

Answer

I'm in the exact same situation.  Those are my exact weights and everything. I'm back to my prepregnancy workouts (roller derby 2x a week) but the weight isn't going away as fast as I thought. And when I try to eat better I'm so hungry every 2 hours or so!
