I’ve always been told that I would loose baby weight with breast feeding because “you burn so many calories” with it. HA! I lost what came out of me (aka literally the baby).

Started out 118, got up to 152 with Tytan and got stuck at 142. I mean literally stuck! I stupidly thought the weight would just fall off when it was ready but it never did so I started running about 6 months ago. 6 freaking months ago! I have been running 4-5 times a week for 6 months between 30-60 minutes of running a day, eating a little less and eating better and I lost 5 lbs. FIVE POUNDS PEOPLE! I was loosing my mind. Stuck now not at 142 but at 137 and sooooo sick of having to wear only my maturity cloths and none of my cloths from before. Feeling like this is the new normal, Like all the cloths I have I miles well get rid of because I’ll never wear them again. I haven’t worn pants with buttons (and no magical elastic sides) since 2017! Soooo many pants just going to waste in a tote under my bed😢 Thinking I needed to run more eat less but I couldn’t eat less because I wanted the nutrition calories ect. for my little man.

Well January hit and I made the decision to completely stop breast feeding with a lot of protest from my little guy and many tears from me. In December’s dropped down to a little in the morning and that’s all. (We have also started trying for baby number two and I’ve heard from several people they had a hard time conceiving while BF) Anyway I have lost 5 lbs just in the last month since completely stopping breast feeding! Who knew all I had to do was stop breast feeding why didn’t somebody tell me!?! Hopefully I’ll continue to loose weight before we get pregnant again!

Heck last week I even got to wear a pair of pants with a button and was comfortable! 😬Though what is making me feel absolutely crazy, is that my body hasn’t even stopped making milk, my lo has not bf, I have not pumped in weeks yet my body continues to make milk. Like go away 😅 I have tried cabbage leaves right sports bras that make me uncomfortable, peppermint yet I’m still producing milk, but hey at least the weight is dropping off like nothing now! 😕
