Please give me hope, ladies!
I gained about 2 1/2 stone during pregnancy, 1 1/2 of which I lost pretty much overnight after giving birth (I retained a LOT of water) but the last stone has stubbornly refused to go (albeit with a bit of fluctuation) and I'm wondering if this will shift once I stop breastfeeding?! Feel a bit peeved that the weight didn't melt off as I was promised it would with BFing! I'm fairly active (I walk a lot) and my eating habits haven't changed significantly since pre-pregnancy, apart from eating a bit more than I used to as I'm just generally hungrier!
DD is 14 months old and she has a few feeds overnight and one or two during the day, so not loads. She's not showing any signs of wanting to stop so I'm in no rush, but thinking of starting to wean her around the 18 month mark. AF has still not returned and we're thinking about trying for no.2 next year so want to give my body time to adjust.
Hoping that the extra weight will magically fall off once my hormones go back to normal. Did anyone else have this experience??

Did you lose weight when you stopped breastfeeding?
