I had an easier time losing weight once I stopped BFing. When I BF'ed, I held on to the weight and I probably ate more than I should, etc. Once I stopped I could really cut calories without worrying about it. I lost at about a 2 pound a week rate when I was really trying. The problem is I'm not consistent so it's hard to say how long it would have really taken. I was back to pp weight at about 10 months pp, but I think I could have done it even sooner. I stopped BF'ing at 4 months. I also did Weight Watchers which works well even when you are BFing.

Just curious to hear the experiences of those who did not or could not bf.....how did weight loss go for you? How fast? Any tips?
Thanks.
