I feel like breastfeeding is helping me keep the weight on instead of taking it off. Anyone else feel this way?

It sure makes me hungry all the time and it is impossible to have a strict diet...

The bf always made me retain weight. I was always jealous of the women who lost a ton of weight from bf, because it never happened for me. My doctor told me it doesn't work like that for everyone, as it didn't work for her. She always retained 10 - 15 with all her children until she weaned and then the weight would fly off. The same with me. Within two weeks after weaning the last two times, I lost 10 pounds the first week. I think it is water retention. I guess it is different for every woman. So,yes, I completely feel the same way. The bf made me retain weight.

I mean it i worth it, I am going to continue. I know a girl who gets like anorexic skinny when bf. I wanted to try a modified diet, but most everything I read discourages it. The only one that makes accomodations is weight watchers and I just don't have the time or discipline for that. I am going to go back to running and doing my Firm DVD's. We will see how it goes.
