What happened to your weight when you stopped breastfeeding?

I'm curious to know what happened to your weight when you stopped breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding in general has always made me ravenous but at first I didn't gain any weight- I lost it if anything...

But since going combi and then stopping altogether, I'm piling on the pounds...

Keen to know your experiences ..

I held on to a few pounds until I stopped breastfeeding. I think everyone is different.

Lost weight whilst feeding then literally piled it on soon as I stopped :(

I put on weight after I stopped.
Breastfeeding is great for using up calories with no effort.
It took me a while to realise i had to adjust how much I was eating a bit - or accept being half a stone heavier.
