Just stopped breast feeding, will I lose weight?

[Ceineimeisylime24]

I have stopped breast feeding this week and wonder if I will lose those last 10 pesky pounds?? We've slowly been replacing some of my feeds with formula because of my health problems but now I'm down to now breast feeds each day. I'm not eating as much as I was when I was ebf. I lost loooooads in the two weeks after my baby was born and now I've been stuck at 10lbs more than if like for months and months. I just wonder if now I'm not breastfeeding if I will lose it? What is your experiences? Advice?

Any body?

Hi, interested to know the answer to this too as I'm starting to wean my 6 month old (hoping to continue feeding for at least another 6 months but reduce it). I have heard that once you stop you don't hold onto fat so easily. Hoping someone knowledgeable will be able to help with your question!

watching top, as have a bit to lose, and wondered if some of the stubbornness is breastfeeding. some, is chocolate of course!

I hope so! I have another four pounds I want to shift (lost 30 already thanks to MN Bootcamp) and I'm wondering if they won't go until I stop bf. Problem is DS3 is still quite keen on breastfeeding so it will probably be a few months before I can stop.

I didn't. I really hoped to lose that last stone but it has remained.

And DD still looks sadly at my boobs from time to time and breaks my heart

No idea how your metabolism works - twelve years since I stopped breast feeding & I am still overweight .

Hmmm, i put 4 kilos on after stopping breastfeeding....had got used to eating lots of choc.

I stopped when baby was 15 months and gained weight.

About to wean my 6 month old too and was hoping to lose weight...responses so far not looking good tho!
