I've noticed in the last few weeks that my appetite is back to my norm...
I ate more during BFing than I did pregnancy... and I think it's finally coming down to my normal pre-preg appetite/portions.
Wonder if I can lose some weight (since I never had a HUGE weight drop off from bfing?)

Awesome post bc I'm exactly the same way right now!! I eat tons more now that I'm BF than I ever was while pregnant. And while some moms say they lost a ton of weight while breastfeeding, I have yet to see it. I am back down to my pre-pregnancy weight, but am totally using BF as my excuse to eat bad right now so I'm scared for when we wean. Can I control myself from indulging?!

My appetite stayed the same! I had stretched my stomach out 
I had to deliberately deny myself at meals to lose the weight this time around (but I was not exercising).

Yes, my appetite has slowly dropped as I've gradually decreased the frequency of nursing. We're down to just a little bit in the morning and evening, and my appetite is far less. I'm also successfully dieting for the first time since giving birth - before I'd just about pass out from it.

It took WW to really get my appetite in check post breastfeeding. It was nice not to worry about consuming all the calories to make milk. I'm down about 25-26 lbs on WW, most of which was gained when I was pumping at work. Recently, I'm below pre-pregnancy weight, so that's been exciting.

)

My appetite dropped off quite a bit when I weaned. I weaned gradually over about 2 months though, so maybe that helped.
