Weight gain after stopping BF?

[Rhiannon137]

I wondered what people's experiences were with their own weight after they stopped BFing?

I have exclusively pumped for my son for the last 11 months and am planning to stop over the next week or two. I know that I will need to stop eating with the reckless abandon that I have been, but I'm a little worried I will put on some weight anyway. I usually wouldn't worry too much about it, but I am in a friend's wedding in a month, and the dress JUST fits.

Any thoughts or advice?

I found after I stopped feeding my first my appetite dramatically dropped (I am permenantly hungry especially for chocolate while breast feeding) so your body will adjust and I actually lost the last few pounds to go back to pre pregnancy weight x
