BFing (pumping) helped me lose all the baby weight (and more). I probably gained 7-8 pounds back after I weaned, which put me back at my pre-preg weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-gain-weight-when-you-weaned#post-1332409 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:04:32 +0000 chopsuey 1332409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so far, I've lost a few lbs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-gain-weight-when-you-weaned#post-1332334 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:47:25 +0000 lemondrop 1332334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also not sure- I was pregnant again when we weaned, so yes I lost weight due to morning sickness, but then gained due to baby ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-gain-weight-when-you-weaned#post-1332317 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:40:38 +0000 Ree723 1332317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure - by the time I weaned, I was nearly 13 weeks pregnant again! BF'ing had helped me lose all the pregnancy weight and then some by five months pp though, so I'm not sure what would have happened once I weaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-gain-weight-when-you-weaned#post-1331475 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 14:36:54 +0000 MsLipGloss 1331475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am finally losing weight since I weaned last month (15 months pp). Weight loss was all but futile before weaning!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-gain-weight-when-you-weaned#post-1331473 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 14:36:08 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1331473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lost weight. Breastfeeding never helped me lose weight… so once I weaned I got back to pp weight.</p> <p>@autumnlove: Same! Mostly in the boobage area. Sad. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-gain-weight-when-you-weaned#post-1331463 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 14:33:08 +0000 autumnlove 1331463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost weight...just a couple of lbs but I felt a lot smaller in my upper body! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-gain-weight-when-you-weaned#post-1331398 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 14:12:28 +0000 yin 1331398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I gained weight since I was finally off my strict diet to accommodate LO's allergies. I lost the weight right before I got pregnant with DS2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-gain-weight-when-you-weaned#post-1331387 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 14:10:34 +0000 808love 1331387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I always wondered this. When I bf, I lost weight especially in the first two months.... but since I bf for so long, I started plateauing and then gained, then some more when I weaned. It was a long 2 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-gain-weight-when-you-weaned#post-1331286 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:46:36 +0000 cascademom 1331286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lost weight. Between pumping at work and needing to eat, I resorted to fast food a lot. Once I cut out a lot of unnecessary calories, I lost it. I've lost 30 lbs since doing WW last June. I stopped breastfeeding in April 2013. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-gain-weight-when-you-weaned#post-1331213 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:31:01 +0000 Dandelion 1331213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost 30 pounds in the next few months after we weaned! Breastfeeding didn't help me lose weight, like I expected. But, once I weaned, it shed right off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-gain-weight-when-you-weaned#post-1331212 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:30:52 +0000 lovehoneybee 1331212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10lbs! :crying: </p> <p>I didn't lose any from breast-feeding at all. I gained weight, plateaued and then gained another 10lbs when he weaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-gain-weight-when-you-weaned#post-1328091 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:28:52 +0000 mrsjyw 1328091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And was BFing what helped you shed weight quickly post-baby?</p> <p>I didn't gain weight when I weaned DS at just past 1 year. I also didn't lose a ton of weight in the beginning months PP due to Bfing.</p> <p>I actually lost a couple of pounds after we weaned, and then gained 1-2 back and have plateaued at exactly my pre-BFP weight. </p>
