Lost! You have limit your activity and protein while BF so for me I finally lost those last few pounds and actually started to put muscle back on.

gained weight back on, and stomach wasn't as tight as when I was BF. ( I had to stop early due to my DD having a milk protein allergy).

Gained. I was still hungry (and eating) all the time but I was not expending the calories like when I was BFing. If you watch your food intake when you stop it shouldn't be a problem but nobody told me and I was so busy with the baby that it never even occurred to me.

Where did you hear this? I was never told of any diet or activity restrictions while nursing. Unless your diet was affecting baby of course.

I lost! Some people don't loose the last 5-10 lbs when breastfeeding and some people loose tons of weight breastfeeding, it just depends on your body/metabolism.

I'm down to a morning and night session and all the weight I lost the first 10 months is gone. I'm back up to where I was when I first got preggers.

My body held on to almost all of my baby weight until I was completely done BFing. I actually dropped the weight way too fast once I stopped, it wasn't healthy.

Re: Did lose or gain weight when you stopped bfing?
The more I cut back on BFing, the more I lost. I was one of those people who held on to the last 10lbs while BFing.

I never heard of that either from the person who posted about diet. In fact your supposed to increase your calorie intake...
I gained a lil bit but then shortly after lost. I am skinnier now than I was pre-pregnancy. But Ive always been thin, I lead a healthy/clean lifestyle and have good genetics, not gonna lie.

Yeah, reading it back, the way I worded it was super unclear.
What I meant is that high intensity exercise can possibly lower certain immunoglobins (IgA) in breast milk (aka the immunity boosting benefits of BM), and also pass on lactic acid through breast milk - which is unpleasant for baby. So while moderate exercise is definitely recommended, high intensity exercise is not always a great idea.
Also, a lot of upper body lifting can cause plugged ducts - so repetitive upper body exercises are contraindicated.
And eating too much protein causes the body to eliminate essential vitamins and minerals, so then they are not passed through breast milk to baby. I'm talking EXCESS protein - like what you would eat if you were trying to gain muscle mass, which is what is applicable to myself.
I was coming for a very fitness-based point of view when I wrote this. And again, it was definitely unclear, and not applicable to everyone, but for those of us very into fitness it is important information.
I would link to articles, but this is stuff I learned way back when getting my bachelors in ex. sci.

Gotcha--I had some major supply issues once I went back to work so I love to hear these things to possibly help me next time!
However I was not guilty of high intensity workouts LOL!!

Me either. If I didn't have enough protein it made my supply plummet. I gained 10-15 pounds when I stopped.

I think she is talking about protein supplements, intense muscle building. Not something you would do while bring, so if this is the lifestyle you are used to, you would probably gain while bfing.

Re: Did lose or gain weight when you stopped bfing?
I've lost most of my pregnancy weight bf'ing, but I'd guesstimate that I have about another 10 lbs to go.
Makes me super nervous to hear about all those that have gained once they stop.
