When did you see weight loss during breastfeeding?

Question

I’m 6 weeks pp and I still have 30lbs to lose. I had a c-section and my waist still looks pregnant. I’m breastfeeding and I don’t get when I’ll shed weight!! 
I’ve walked at least 10K steps a day or ~3 miles. Please let me know your experience and advice. Feeling so insecure about my body.

Answer

I'm 7 weeks pp and still hanging on to 20 lbs as well. I had a vbac but my stomach is still fluffy like I'm 3 or 4 months preggo. I've been walking (with baby wearing since 2 week pp) with clean eating. Also, 50/50 breast & formula feeding, and I can't seem to shed a single lb no matter I do!

Answer

Just remember it took 9 months to grow and gain. So it sometimes doesn’t come off right away. Also your body is healing from a traumatic surgery!! 
My first i lost weight by month 3. I had also started exercising though. This one i was down 15 pounds pp by one month but I’ve been fluctuating a lot.

Answer

Same, I had a c-section and im 5 weeks and 4 days PP and haven't lost anything except the bit of weight in the beginning after giving birth. I am breastfeeding, dieting and have started going to the gym but haven't lost anything. I have around 15 kg to lose. I hate my body right now, my old clothes don't fit me, and I don't want to buy new clothes because I just look fat.

Answer

I had second C-section and breastfeeding as well but I haven’t lost much since birth. From my first experience the more you stress over it the longer it takes and you will lose the weight few months to a year depending on your boost but just focus on taking care of yourself for now, our body had gone through big surgery please don’t rush into working out yet. You can try eating more healthier and drink ton of water. And my aunt told me she lost her baby weight through breastfeeding because she wasn’t eating. I wouldn’t recommend starving yourself you can jeopardize your milk and your health.

Answer

Very quickly but also had no appetite. I had to force myself to eat and drank mainly smoothies with protein mix. But I went into doctors office 2weeks PP and weighed in less than before I was pregnant. I didn’t gain much though anyway. 
 Pre pregnancy weight-135
Last weigh in-158
2 weeks PP-126

Answer

At the 6 weeks appointment I had lost 98% of my pregnancy weight

Answer

I started seeing weight loss from the beginning, all weight gone by 4w pp. I drink A TON of water. And I eat more whole foods (usually from the galactagogues list) and that's essentially it. I don't get to workout as much as I want to, but the lbs melt off. They started coming off even more since I've been 10 days without eating  outside of the house. I have noticed a slight decrease in pumping output, but I had an oversupply to begin with so I'd be careful about trying to lose weight too quickly.
Because my son (so far) has allergies to dairy, soy and nuts, it makes it even more difficult to try to eat anything processed, so I tend to have to cook or snack on fruits and veggies. 
I would just focus on clean eating, water drinking and resting when you can. You won't be able to lose weight if you're exhausted and not eating well. Body needs to be properly nourished and rested to get results. 
Good luck!
