I need to diet!!

[Plumfairy]

... but obviously I cant due to bfing!! How am I meant to lose weight? Was totally horrified to find myself trying on size 18 trousers and them fitting after being a size 10-12 pre pregnancy!! This is pants!!! I need surgery. My belly hangs over my trousers now and is not far from my knees!!!!

I'm doing Slimming World

 

[Mervs Mum]

Not very successfully I might add!! As BFing seems to give me a RAGING sweet tooth!!

I'm doing weight watchers! Breast feeding mums get to have more points - I've lost 7 pounds in 6 weeks. Not great but not bad and it's not damaged my supply at all.

Good luck

I thought the weight was supposed to 'drop off' whilst bfing!!! Im such a flump!! Dont think we have a slimming world near here! Aaaarghh!!

P.S I joined their online thingy as I couldn't face going to a meeting and someone seeing how much I actually weigh! I'm like you, a size 10 before I was pregnant and now I can't get my jeans past my knees. I'm not going to buy any clothes until I can fit in my old ones so I'm still in my maternity jeans which is soooooooo depressing!

its true I liked sweet food before but now if I can't get a fix of double choc viennese biscuits im like an animal

I'm STILL wearing most of my mat clothes too. I am actually HUGE now. Breastfeeding did NOTHING for my weight

I don't really care most of the time, but when I see nice clothes and remember how nice they would have looked before it does get me down abit!

You can 'diet' whilst breastfeeding. Eat healthy, do lots of exercise x

I'm exactly the same. I have been a choccoholic since I started bfing. My major issue is the fact that I am diabetic lol

I say don't diet, that's big no no. Just eat sensibly. If you eat 3 meals a day and make your snacks fruit and wholemeal bread etc. Honestly sweetie it is not great to diet when bfing xxx

My friends lost weight AFTER they stopped BF!!

I think most peoples body hold onto the fat cells for bubba

I am a fattie but luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee the cake!!

I dont care at the minute, only when I put make up on and want to look nice for OH but I will get there, no rush xx

 

[jms895]

Sweet tooth here too

 

[Logiebear]

Sweet tooth here too

It's good to know it's not just me, my hubby thinks I'm using it as an excuse to eat choccy lol

 

[Blob]

Aww hun

 

[Pyrrhic]

Eat healthy and exercise! I've lost 10lbs since April 30th (20 days) so far. I'm still Bing, and my milk is not affected. I just can't BF for two hours after heavy exercise, due to a build up of lactic acid so I just go to the gym at night when she's in bed and OH is watching her.

I was a big size 16, and have dropped a dress size already

I am doing nutrisystem but adding in extra calories to keep my supply up. The weight didn't just "fall off" after about 3 months of bfing. So I've been doing this for about 2 months and have lost about 30lbs. Too bad I still have another 25lbs or so to go, but it is working for me. Of course, it will be easier to lose the rest once I stop bfing - but I don't have the heart to yet.
