impossible to lose weight while breast feeding... isn't it ?

[mrsnoah]

Is it just a big white lie they tell you at the clinic that you regain your figure back quicker by breast feeding ?

Don't seem to have lost anything since the birth except the weight of the baby 3 months ago!!

Am NOT dieting..walking very fast everywhere but still it ain't budging!

Anyone else the same?

yep!

The research shows that there is not much diff. between bf and not bf until you bf for six months....so there is hope for you yet!

First baby, I found this.

Second baby and I'm a lot thinner than I was.

I put that down to have a 2yo to chase when I'm not feeding though I did a lot more sitting down and eating cake when DS1 was a baby.

Both times within 2 months of bf'ing I've ended up thinner than immediately before getting pregnant.

HOWEVER that's still not exactly skinny, I attribute it mostly to restricted alcohol intake/being at home & taking time to eat healthily, & last time it crept back on as soon as I went back to work & started eating canteen stodge again!

Yep exactly the same, it only shifts when you stop BF, or in my case that's what happened last time!

I have gone back to my usual size after all 3 but agree with Hunker that a lot of it is due to never getting chance to sit down with a toddler to deal with too

Would it be wrong to express when dd stops feeding so I can carry on eating what I want??

Not sure about that, Frizbe - I was massive when I stopped breastfeeding DS1 when he was 17mo. Mind you, I was five months pregnant

Lact8, I was wondering that the other day too... I wondered if I might be the oldest lactating person ever, just so I could eat doughnuts.

I have visions of me hiding in the wardrobe, pump in hand and then telling everyone I've actually been doing yoga to stay so trim!

ROFL!

What's this, granny?

Errrr, it's a bicycle horn.

PMSL!

And not pumping on bingo days so they're nice and full and can show off ample bosom

Think this is probably freaking people out, Lact8

the withered breast would be plump with milk you would be the envy of the retirement home

I reckon so!

But bfeeding seems like its my one and only natural talent sometimes and I want to make the most of it

(my family say I would've make a great wet nurse )

eh!!! you should see my freezer i keep meaning to show it off on mumsnet!

Blimey, i only went to throw the dog out and have come back to big boobed grannies and bicycle horns!!
Am always hungry, but you only need an extra 500 cals/day to BF ? How many chocolate bourbons is that do you think ?

More excersise required then. Is Penguin walking still out of vogue?
Could I reintroduce do you think ?

You are welcome to borrow my 2yo for a week or two

If you really want to lose weight you can have my ds2 as well, teamed up with hunkers and you'll be a rake in a week!

My ds2 likes penguins aswell

my hubby is following the GI diet since my dd3 asked him when he was going to use his man boobies to feed dd4

I have not joined him on it as still b/f but my weight has not budged (maybe has something to do with all the chocolate I scoff when he is on nights LOL )
I was still b/f dd3 when preg with dd4 ( until 17 weeks anyway) so feel like I have been this size forever.!!

no it isnt.
i lost all my pregnancy weight after ds2 by breastfeeding. all gone by the time he was 11 weeks. a further ten kilos lost over the rest of the 5 months of breast feeding.

ddint work with dd though

ooh I wish
even pushing dd4 with dd3 on buggy board everywhere is not ridding me of any pounds.
