  - gained. but bfding made me SO thin. I actually looked awful, was glad to gain it back (except the last 3 lbs, which I'd like to get rid of again).

- Haven't weaned yet and am pregnant with number 2, but before this recent pregnancy I was actually down 10lbs pre-pregnancy weight without trying. I have heard of plenty of women who have kept a few pounds extra on that wouldn't come off until weaning.

- Lost weight gradually when nursing and dramatically (for a month) after I weaned. It took a full year after weaning to go back to pre-pg weight and shape (or a similar shape). The weight loss isn't uniform though. Tummy was still gross, but boobs disappeared. Ribs showed and arms looked bony. Not the best shape... but a year after nursing, with a healthy diet and some exercise, you should be back.
