And was BFing what helped you shed weight quickly post-baby?
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.
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.

10lbs! 
I didn't lose any from breast-feeding at all. I gained weight, plateaued and then gained another 10lbs when he weaned.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Lost weight. Breastfeeding never helped me lose weight… so once I weaned I got back to pp weight.
@autumnlove: Same! Mostly in the boobage area. Sad.

I am finally losing weight since I weaned last month (15 months pp). Weight loss was all but futile before weaning!!!

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.

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

I gained weight when I weaned. 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.
