I was at the WIC office today and they needed my height and weight. Anyway, my weight has stayed the same and the woman working and I got into a discussion about how bf'ing is thought to make weight loss easier (I would like to lose 15 lbs or so).
I told her it's funny because I weigh what I did before I went on weight watchers a couple of years ago, but my body doesn't look like it did back then. She made a comment about the body retaining fluids and that could be the cause for the extra weight. She also mentioned the weight of the breasts as another reason, which makes perfect sense.
Does your body retain fluid while bf'ing or does having a child affect the distribution of fat on your body? It is very odd because my body just doesn't look as chubby as it did before I went on ww, but I weigh exactly the same.
Any thoughts?
