Devastated! Everything else stayed about the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1660738 Tue, 27 May 2014 14:10:25 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1660738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hold onto weight while breastfeeding, but drop it immediately after weaning! My boobs are in a sad state though - I dropped one size from my pre-pregnancy boob size. It's not like I was well endowed in the first place, so my pancake boobs make me :crying: . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1660683 Tue, 27 May 2014 13:53:49 +0000 Ginger333 1660683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost a lot of weight after weaning - but I also held on to my pregnancy weight while nursing (dropped next to nothing after the birth - so it's fair lol). I'm crossing my fingers that I get lucky again when this nursling decides to wean. I miss my pre-pregnancy wardrobe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1660556 Tue, 27 May 2014 13:21:24 +0000 mediagirl 1660556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not much. I weaned at 17 months so it was a while for me. Everything was already back to "normal" size. My jeans are baggier so I bought new ones. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1660552 Tue, 27 May 2014 13:20:24 +0000 FancyGem 1660552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stayed the same, but my body shape changed (I have my old shape). I stopped nursing about 6 months ago and my boobs are perking up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1660496 Tue, 27 May 2014 13:07:12 +0000 Tidybee 1660496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was about 5 pounds below pre pregnancy weight but since weaning it has definitely come back on. I'm working out, but it's just not going anywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1660458 Tue, 27 May 2014 13:00:20 +0000 Purpledaisy 1660458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got down to 30 pounds below prepregnancy weight. Once I got my now almost 15 month old down to 3-4 nursing sessions a day I immediately gained 5 pounds :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1660342 Tue, 27 May 2014 12:31:48 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1660342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like you, I went almost 10 lbs under pre-pregnancy weight while breastfeeding. But when I weaned, I went back to pre-pregnancy weight. I'm not sure if that's because I had knee surgery shortly after weaning and had to take a break from working out, or from weaning itself. My boobs also looked deflated... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1660330 Tue, 27 May 2014 12:28:12 +0000 leelee 1660330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto on the saggy boobs. So depressing :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1660280 Tue, 27 May 2014 12:16:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 1660280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: well if I didn't work out pre preg anyway, I guess it won't matter if I don't now?? Actually just walking all the time is more exercise than I was getting but I could use more strength training for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1660209 Tue, 27 May 2014 11:42:22 +0000 QBbride 1660209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: have you heard of yoga jeans? They're amazing! Super stretchy and flattering. And super comfy!</p> <p>I haven't weaned yet but I'm hoping my body miraculously drops 10 lbs :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1660196 Tue, 27 May 2014 11:35:38 +0000 T-Mom 1660196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained weight after weaning, unfortunately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1660131 Tue, 27 May 2014 11:16:40 +0000 hilsy85 1660131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tummy is definitely softer and the skin has not tightened back to pre preg form, and up top, my boobs are a cup size bigger than they were pre preg. I will say that I haven't worked out at all though, so if I were regularly exercising, then maybe I would be closer to my pre preg body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1659931 Tue, 27 May 2014 10:11:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 1659931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I have read that post-- and need to go back to it-- but she has a really different body than me. But yeah I do need to go back and reread it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1659922 Tue, 27 May 2014 10:08:18 +0000 septca 1659922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also down about 10 pounds when we stopped BFing... weight has slowly started to creep back on even though I am working out. My body is *not* the same as it was pre-pregnancy... boobs are saggier, belly is flabbier (extra skin, not fat), legs and arms are skinnier and not as muscular. Sigh.</p> <p>If you google MODG jeans, she has a great post on exactly the type of jeans you are looking for... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1659921 Tue, 27 May 2014 10:07:54 +0000 Smurfette 1659921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 10lbs :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1659917 Tue, 27 May 2014 10:06:34 +0000 sorrycharlie 1659917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nothing changed..my boobs are tiny. womp womp. but not sure if that's a result of nursing OR if it's just from losing so much weight (at my wedding July, I weighed almost 160 - dropped to 141 by Dec, got pregnant and went back up to 165..so I have no idea really). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1659914 Tue, 27 May 2014 10:06:10 +0000 autumnlove 1659914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am totally curious because I was pregnant the last time I weaned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1659909 Tue, 27 May 2014 10:04:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 1659909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Haha well I have those too, but they are functional at the moment, not style. I'm not even worrying about them until I can start wearing real bras. </p> <p>I guess the problem is, my boobs are bigger than before, and my waist is not much thinner, but my legs and butt are. So jeans that used to fit and are OK at the waist are totally dumpy in the butt and thighs. Doesn't that sound attractive? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1659886 Tue, 27 May 2014 09:57:22 +0000 Adira 1659886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: haha, same here. Saggy boobs! So unflattering!</p> <p>I started gaining weight when I weaned, which sucked. I've definitely had to adjust my eating habits now that I'm not burning all those calories breastfeeding!</p> <p>And I'm wearing maternity jeans - they're the best. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1659840 Tue, 27 May 2014 09:46:43 +0000 heartonastring 1659840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't fully weaned yet. We are down to 2 nursing sessions a day (DD is 13 months), but my body has started to look like my old body again over the last week or so, and I think that's partially hormonal. I, like you, am one of the lucky ones for whom nursing meant holding onto extra weight rather than shedding pounds. Right now I'm still 6-7 lbs above where I want to be. </p> <p>As for jeans, I guess it depends on your body type. I have an hourglass figure and I've been wearing ON Sweetheart skinny jeans lately and they fit me really well, don't look like mom jeans and cover my bum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1659839 Tue, 27 May 2014 09:46:01 +0000 JoJoGirl 1659839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curious too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1659835 Tue, 27 May 2014 09:45:16 +0000 .twist. 1659835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I was expecting saggy boobs and I was nodding my head. Then you said jeans. LOL. </p> <p>So, I haven't noticed any physical changes except my now saggy, non-porn star boobs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-body-change-when-you-weaned#post-1659827 Tue, 27 May 2014 09:42:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 1659827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so sick of all my baggy saggy jeans, but I can't decide if I should buy new ones or wait. I am about 10 pounds thinner than my usual pre-preg weight, which is awesome, not complaining about that! But I'm concerned that when I stop breastfeeding, my body will change again, so if I buy jeans that fit now, they won't fit again. So, wondering what others' experiences were like. </p> <p>Follow up question- recommend jeans that are good for moms with toddlers-- ie stretchy enough to get on the floor and not bag out at the knees immediately, and high enough rise to not show any crack or muffin top :) </p> <p>You know, for the days when I don't want to wear yoga pants. :) </p>
