Does anyone know if this is true??

Question

I keep reading all sorts of different a information about weight loss and breast feeding. And I’ve came across a couple times that it doesn’t really begin happening until about 3 months pp...is this true and if so why? I went a bit crazy during my pregnancy with the food...lol...I’d always been very tiny and worked out like crazy before I got preggers...needless to say I gained ALOT of weight...like 80 pounds!! I’ve lost 45 so far (11 weeks) but now I’m stuck and won’t drop a pound...I’m EBF and started running again but nothing is budging!! Any thoughts?

Answer

I e heard a lot of people gain weight because it makes you so hungry and people tend to eat constantly.

Answer

I am doing the 21 Day Fix with a breastfeeding modification. losing weight too quickly can make your milk supply unsafe

Answer

When I first had my baby the baby weight dropped off quickly I then began to be hungry ALL the time so I have been quite a steady weight....baby is now 4 months old and quickly gaining weight

Answer

I think it depends on how your body reacts to the hormones and process of breastfeeding. My daughter is 12 days old, and I have lost 28.5 lbs since her birth. With my first pregnancy, I lost 26 lbs right after birth while I was pumping since my son was in the NICU. However, I gained it all back after I had to switch to formula and wasn’t eating as well or getting much exercise. I decided to take advantage of the weight loss this time and make sure to maintain a good diet and regular exercise once I’m cleared to do so.

Answer

Ya like I don’t get it..I eat soooo healthy and I’m not overly hungry so I really don’t know😩

Answer

I EBF for 8 months and i lost all my barbary weight within a couple weeks but I've maintained my regular weight, apparently you burn like 500 calories fro BF, I was always soooooo hungry, even more so then when I was pregnant but it's because your body needs to replenish calories you're burning, so I can see why it would be hard to actually lose weight when you're body is trying to keep it on. just eat healthy and listen to your body when, don't restrict yourself of nutrients and exercise

Answer

When I was breastfeeding my daughter I dropped 20lbs instantly and kept losing consistently. I was a lot hungrier but I didn’t over do it because my goal was to lose weight. I ate healthier when I was hungry so I actually ended up being lighter then I was before o got pregnant.

Answer

I always have heard about how the weight just dropped off of women that breastfed. That wasn’t the case for me at all. I actually lost weight after I stopped breastfeeding. I stopped a few months ago and have already lost 15 lbs

Answer

I’m 12 weeks PP and have had a lot of trouble losing weight so far even with EBF. It would be great if I’d start losing at 3 months. I’m curious what others have experienced as well.
