Hi Ladies-
Just wanted advice or to see if anyone had similar stories. I am 36 and I have a almost ten week old who is EBF. I lost my first 20 pounds easily and almost immediately and kind of thought it would continue that way for the second 20 that needs to go. However, I have not lost anymore in like 4 weeks. Since my OB oked it at the follow up I have been hiking pretty frequently and doing some jogging and swimming. I eat really well, but I haven't cut out desserts. I was hoping breast feeding would help, though I think it took awhile with DD1 too, but even with the exercise no pounds gone at all in 4 weeks! Spring before last, before I got pregnant, I lost about 15 pounds quickly and easily with exercise and sensible portion reduction. Not sure I should be trying to reduce portions when nursing. Am I one of those unlucky people who breastfeeding does not help lose weight? Thoughts? Commiseration?
