  • I gained 55 lbs (!) while PG last year. Lost it all plus five more. DD is 13 months. I BFd until 10 months. And i am *still* losing weight. Not working out. Not watching what I eat. Still losing about a 1/2 pound a week. I'm not complaining. it's just w weird. I have never been thin. All my adult life I've been 5"5' and between 140-150. I'm now 135. Still not thin. And the weight seems to disappear from only my top half. Boobs are gone. Arms are thin. I wear an XS top and a 6 (or an 8) on the bottom. Is this normal? am I gonna gain weight crazy soon? Anyone BTDT?

    • Weight loss always freaks me out. Weight gain, too.

    • this kinda happened to me. the thinnest i've ever been was when bf'ing ds. once he was weaned, i went back to my pre-pg normal weight. all this while eating healthy w/o crazy dieting. i think your body will do what it's gonna do. but if you keep l ng so much weight, may want to talk to your doctor

    • You're probably eating healthier and are more active somehow. I hope this is me after db comes in October. 5"5' as well, and 125-130 is a great weight for me, but I haven't seen it in a long time.

    • do you SAH? i lost a ton of weight - all 30 i gained during pregnancy and then 10 more - during the first 6mo, then i went back to work and sit on my butt all day ... now i'm up 10 again ... figured it's because you walk a lot when you're home ..

    • I lost weight very easily while bf'ing, but I have to say I gained a bit when I weaned.

      • OP: no other symptoms. Though I have a family history of diabetes. So I'd better get a check up just to be on the safe side.

    • You should see an endocrinologist ASAP. I was you in terms of losing weight w/o trying and it turns out I have thyroid disease. W/ your family history of diabetes, also an endocrine problem, you should get checked out.
