No idea when to fit the gym in while working out of the house fulltime. Just now evaluating how we can make healthier choices. Will go from there. I was also nervous about my supply until I hit 1 year of nursing, so I didn't want to do anything too crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-895323 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 12:06:02 +0000 Beehive 895323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: @pregnantbee: @lemondrop: Me too! I am really hoping once I wean the extra weight I'm holding onto will go away. It really would be nice to fit into my clothes again! Admittedly, I haven't been trying very hard to actually lose the last 10 pounds, but still... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-895293 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 11:48:37 +0000 dagret 895293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L is about 5.5 months and my hunger hasn't ramped up yet but my thirst has. So much that I took a pregnancy test last week. (Negative, thankfully!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-895289 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 11:45:00 +0000 lemondrop 895289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No luck with that here either! My problem was I continued to eat for nursing even when he started tapering off nursing and ate more solids. I'm trying to be good now that we are working on weaning, but I miss eating everything in sight! Hoping weaning will help me let go of those last 10 pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-895244 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 11:07:28 +0000 pregnantbee 895244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Nah, no big deal. I'd just like to fit into my clothes again :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-895132 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 10:09:21 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 895132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>another jealous of all the weight loss bee here! lol. i am not annoyed by the thread, rather i am intrigued. I haven't noticed that i am hungrier than usual, nor have i noticed a discernible increase in L's appetite and he's been eating solids (very little though) for a few weeks. he is 7.5m </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-895122 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 10:05:30 +0000 immabeetoo 895122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: FWIW we started at 6 months and he is just now starting to actively eat more than a tablespoon at 7 months... so don't pin all your hopes on solids :) (or hope that your LO is a more avid eater than mine!)</p> <p>@Beehive: totally how it works!</p> <p>@dagret: I know it changes in composition, so that would make sense. </p> <p>@MamaMoose: It's embarrassing how much I eat - or at least when someone else realizes how much I eat!! </p> <p>@travelgirl1: @pregnantbee: sorry this thread is probably annoying then! but seriously, I think most people look better 10 lbs over rather than 10 lbs under their ideal weight... gaunt is not a good look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-894997 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 08:16:35 +0000 pregnantbee 894997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: I'm with you. Still up 12 lbs. I hope it melts off when I'm done bf. (Oh, and we just passed the 1 yr mark.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-894970 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 07:41:50 +0000 travelgirl1 894970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so jealous of all that weight loss! I still have 10lb of preg weight to shift but I think I'm just one of those people who hangs onto the last bit while breastfeeding... So jealous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-894954 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 07:16:03 +0000 edelweiss 894954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 5.5 months and his appetite has been insatiable lately--i had been putting off solids but i think it's time to start! i can't keep up with his demand and in trying to do so, i have been hungry almost all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-894938 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 06:40:54 +0000 MamaMoose 894938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: @mrsjyw: So glad to hear you are both experiencing this as well! The past few weeks I have been out of control hungry!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-894932 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 06:13:17 +0000 dagret 894932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think as you continue to breast feed, your milk gets more calorie and fat-dense? I can't remember where I heard or read it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-894706 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:56:39 +0000 Beehive 894706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: That sounds amazing - dessert after lunch is necessary! DH jokes that I'm on a mission to produce chocolate milk. That's how it works, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-894675 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:37:15 +0000 immabeetoo 894675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: I've been making whole-milk, heavy cream ice cream the past two weeks... omg so good. Dessert after lunch is a-ok right! right!</p> <p>I'm glad I'm not the only one I guess... it all comes back after weaning then, right?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-894476 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 19:45:22 +0000 Beehive 894476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I wish I was losing! 8 months of EBF and I think I'll have to wean before I lose all my preg weight. Maybe because I've been hungry for like 2 desserts a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-894470 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 19:42:38 +0000 mamabolt 894470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! When LO was 7-8 months I was losing losing losing even though I was eating everything in sight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-894368 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 18:40:02 +0000 mrsjyw 894368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I literally scarfed down five meals in a half hour today. I have no idea where this sudden surge came from. U r not alone.

We just hit 8 months of breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-894334 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 18:14:41 +0000 sorrycharlie 894334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been as starving, but I'md efinitely losing weight. Moreso because I never seem to have time to really eat :(</p> <p>I do notice that I get full quickly (normally) at the dinner table but I'm hungry again within 20-30 minutes.</p> <p>ETA - I'm not sure of my exact weight because the battery in the scale died, but last I checked I was 5 lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight..and that weight was on the line of underweight. My family has been on me about trying to lose weight but I haven't been! I'm not sure what the deal is. We hit 9 months of EBF yesterday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-mamas-past-6-months#post-894325 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 18:10:13 +0000 immabeetoo 894325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mamas who went past 6 months, did you see an increase in appetite before they got into solids gung-ho?? LO is just starting to actively eat small amounts of solids, and hasn't wanted to nurse more frequently but I find myself STARVING all the time again. My prepreg pants are baggy and disgusting and I'm dropping below my happy weight.</p> <p>Is this par for the course? I'm hoping it evens out once he is more into "real food". </p>
