I breast fed exclusively for 6 months. I have ceased breast feeding 3 weeks ago. Since three months after having the baby I am 14 pounds heavier than my pre pregnancy weight. I walk every day since two weeks post partum for 5/6 miles. I am very careful to only eat healthy food, as I was pre-pregnancy. My level of exercise is increased from before I had the baby. I just can't understand why my weight gain has not decreased at all despite my best efforts. Any ideas anyone? Anything else I should be doing? Also since stopping breast feeding my breast have lost all their firmness. Will they now be permantely like that or will they change? I am 6 months and 3 week post partum.

I more than returned to my pre-pregnancy after delivery seeing as I only gained a net of two pounds. Not that it was from a lack of eating. I gained weight after I delivered my first and I'd like to not do that again. I’m hoping that nursing will help to bring me closer to a healthier weight.

I breastfed both exclusively. I just attributed it it to my first being a June baby and we were out taking walks more than my second, a September baby.
