I think you need a new doctor. Seriously. Breastfeeding moms often keep an extra 10 pounds on until they wean. The only reason you'll be overweight later in life is if you are sedentary and make poor nutrition choices. Period.

@Mrs. Stroller: She lost the weight! (By 8 months, which I think is better for you anyway). And I agree, some weight is milk and related reserves for making milk. I didn't realize the thread was 2 months old when I revived it--oops!

Wow, interesting! I wonder if the weight gained before pregnancy and after breastfeeding counts? Because technically I've lost both of my pregnancy weights for both pregnancies. But I'm still 20 lbs over what I used to be. Not overweight, but not my ideal weight.
