Breastfeeding, did you lose or gain weight?

I lost weight but was also diagnosed with gallstones at 4 months pp so had to swap to a really low fat diet 😅 still eagerly waiting to have my gallbladder out so I can enjoy cheese again 🤣

I lost loads of weight breastfeeding my first but put weight on with my second!

I lost it really fast. I was always hungry too. But, my bum also went really flat which may be due to birth generally or breastfeeding, as I don't know

I lost weight a little but very slowly but the same week I weaned I dropped weight fast your hormones even out back to normal like after you wean and it's immediately easier to lose weight

Staying the same. Trying to lose weight but finding it super hard

I gained 44lbs my last pregnancy. I lost that all by his 1st bday. But I’m also one to take my boy out every day so my 10k steps add up quite easily, I’m never home as a sahm. Plus I have active fitness hobbies that help me tone and lose weight. Nomatter how much weight I gain when pregnant I tend to lose it all within a year PP

I don’t know how after giving birth I got back up to the same weight I was while pregnant 😵‍💫 it’s like my body just holds in everything I eat and since I’m breastfeeding I’m always hungry or thirsty

I didn’t lose my baby weight because of breastfeeding. I had an oversupply and was definitely eating extra calories to maintain it. I figured I would lose it when I weaned and I did.

This is my last week breastfeeding. Think I’ll finally lose the weight? I gained 30 during pregnancy and only lost 10 after birth. Some of friends lost so much breastfeeding but I’m holding onto mine and I’m not even eating as much as I was before pregnancy.

I literally don’t know how you lose weight when breastfeeding. Your body produces the same hormones as when you’re pregnant and you hold onto more fat because your body is trying not to starve you or your baby. Not to mention you’re starving ALL OF THE TIME

I think i lost weight but idk if that was just naturally from losing weight post baby or if it really did help me lose weight

I’ve not weighed myself and I’m only 2mpp but I think I’m slowly losing some rather than gaining it which is surprising as I’ve been eating more chocolate than I usually would. I hear a lot of people saying they’re starving all of the time but I’m not to be honest. Ive never been one to snack throughout the night since breastfeeding either so I think that probably helps. I’ve just been treating myself to chocolate as people have been giving it to us 😂

@Cara u lose ur butt from a mix of fat loss and ur body compensating to carry the load. You'll have to work on untucking the pelvis and working on any hip stabilizing exercises along with all the usual glute stuff. Good luck

I lost everything and more breastfeeding. Slowed down around 8months pp after my baby was eating a little bit of solid food

I lost mine then gained mine now I’m losing it since I stopped breastfeeding

@Grace I wonder the same. With baby 2 I lost 10kg within the first 2 weeks and have just stayed the same since. With my first, I lost then gained my pregnancy right back! Don’t know if bfing had anything to do with it.

@Melanie ikr. I’m just so hungry and thirsty all the time.

I stayed the same/maybe gained a bit, but when I quit breastfeeding I dropped 30lbs in three months without changing anything else.
