Why am I not loosing weight?

Question

My son is 3.5 months old. I thought breastfeeding burned so many calories? I’m still 10-15 pounds from pre pregnancy weight but I feel like I don’t eat that much/ that bad. I’m afraid to start working out too much as people say that hurts your supply. I drink a good amount of water to. Help!
I’m a bigger girl (tall to) - 200 pounds pre pregnancy and 215ish now. So I have plenty of weight to loose.

Answer

I didn’t lose a pound, maintained, but didn’t lose.

Answer

I was excited to lose weight from breastfeeding too. I heard everyone just drops lbs. NOPE! I’m ) mos PP and 15-20lbs over pre pregnancy weight

Answer

I lost a lot right away after I gave birth but then never lost any more weight. Some people hold onto extra until they stop breastfeeding.

Answer

Not everyone loses weight just because of breastfeeding. And you can workout. Just make sure you’re eating enough food. I’ve been doing it for 6 weeks now, eating same stuff everyday (literally) and workouts started barley a week ago. I lost 8 pounds so far.
