Bfing an weight loss

I was always told that if you're a bfing mama, it shouldnt take long to start losing weight post partum. Here it is 2 months later & I've lost the "norm" amount after birth of 25lbs. Most of it was lost most immediately after birth, she was 10lbs herself! Anyhow when would I start noticing weight loss? My doctor told me it takes about 2 months pp.
I also started the 30 day shred today & cut back on my chip consumption (once a week now). I've got about 20 to go to be at my prepregnancy weight but I want to lose 35-40lbs total. I can't wait to see results   I miss my clothes lol

Some women don't lose a lot of weight. Some can't keep weight on. I was the latter of the two. It all depends on the person.

Just don't cut your calories too much. Eat healthy choices and stay hydrated. The more hydrated you are, the better your body functions. Good luck and congrats on the initial loss!!!

I didn't lose much weight at all. I'm really short and it's really hard for me to lose weight unless my calories are really restricted... which isn't possible during BFing... so yeah. I don't get that benefit. Lol.

I lost weight quick. I still had to work hard to lose the last 7kg. Give it time your only 2 months pp

I'm frustrated that I can't be one of those girls who lose weight quick. A girl I know who had her baby a month after I did can fit into her regular clothes   sooo disheartening lol I'm so sick of yoga pants! She's not bfing either   boo!

Every woman is different. Its only about 25% of woman that retain weight while breastfeeding. It isn't super common. I was one of them but it wasn't that bad. In fact, keep exercising because if you do end up retaining you will gain a ton of muscle under the fat and then when you stop you will lose it all and be really toned. That is what happened to me. It was awesome! However, some woman don't lose weight until they are a year out breastfeeding or not. My friend didn't BF and she lost her weight at the same time I did(13 mo PP).
Most woman lose the most when baby is feeding frequently. I heard somewhere around 3-6mo? Something like that.
I wouldn't worry to much though mama.
Just eat healthy, feed your baby and enjoy life.
You are doing everything right. The weight will fall off in due time.

im almost 4 months pp and i exclusively breastfeed. i gained 20 pounds when i was pregnant (went up to 116) and now i weigh 100. so im holding on to the last 4-5 pounds of weight i gained. all my life i have weighed 92-96 pounds. im obviously not complaining, but im one of those very few who probably wont see the last few pounds come off until i stop bf'ing
