Extended breastfeeding weight loss possible???

[ToddlerLockdown]

Tell me it’s possible!

Feels like I keep gaining regardless of what I do. Is it the hormones or me?!

I have just lost 25kg and I am breastfeeding a two year old. In my case breastfeeding does not make a difference - I have lost weight, gained weight... The only thing that matters is what I eat (which can be a problem if breastfeeding makes you ravenous).

@sadsaddersaddest congrats! Any tips for the weight loss?

@Cormoran did you find the gaining stopped when you stopped feeding? I have a good diet, but the weight keeps creeping up. If I cut back on food I’m exhausted and shaken- probs due to the multiple night wakings and the feeding?

I went very low-carb and I am doing 16:8. I am not going to lie, it was hard. I do have an obsessive personality so when I really get into something, I am unstoppable. I believe I did not have a single mouthful of food that was not carefully planned, even on Christmas day. Lockdown helped - no restaurants, no social life, more time to lift weights at home...
I was 87kg and a size 18 at the end of last summer. I bought a dress in the sales today. In a size 8. It was worth all the chocolate in the world.
