i lost the weight by 5 months with both kids, so when i weaned i didn't gain anything. still nursing olive at 17 months though!

I'm anxious to see how this goes. I've lost all the weight plus some due to BFing, and I am eating constantly. I see a noticeable difference in my supply if I have a low calorie day. I'm sure I'll have to be very conscious of my calorie intake when we wean.

@Weagle: Ditto. Yesterday, I wasn't feeling well (still am), but forced myself to eat, eat for the milk production purposes. This morning, I was so relieved to see that my daycare had some frozen milk of mine for LO. Part of me will miss eating like my husband and other times not. I avoid salads because I'll still be hungry afterwards and won't produce as much as he needs.

I couldn't lose the last 10 until DS started to drop feedings at 9.5 months.
I somehow am still a cup size bigger than pre-pregnancy, but much saggier.

I lost all my pregnancy weight plus another 12 lbs from nursing DD - she literally sucked everything out of me. Once I started having trouble pumping at work around month 11 then quit pumping at 11.5 months, I noticed I needed to consciously eat less cause otherwise I would gain weight. Well I gained anyway and am up 5 lbs from my lowest PP but still 7 below my pre-pregnancy weight.

I gained 5 lbs when I stopped breastfeeding. Luckily I was 5lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight so I don't feel as bad.

Oh crap! This scares me! I'm under prepreg weight and want to stay there

I gained maybe 5 lbs but I was a rail when I was pumping. Most of my friends said they hung onto some of their pregnancy weight but I was the opposite.

Everyone is so different. Pregnancy made me lose weight, than afterwards I gained the 5 pounds back and stayed at my normal weight. Then at 5 months I gained about 7 more pounds that won't go away, and I think that they'll vanish when I'm done nursing. I've tried dieting, and my body just freaks out with hunger and dizzy spells and such. It really wants the extra weight.
