Losing my weight

It's not just a myth that if you breast feed you'll lose weight quicker. I gained a total of 50 lbs. during my pregnancy and I lost 40 of it almost instantly. I've been struggling with the last 10 lbs. but I recently noticed my weight is going down again since Alex started eating from the breast again.
When she wasn't eating from the breast and I was pumping 90 percent of the time, the last 10 pounds just hung around. I can actually hear my stomach grumbling when Alex eats! It has something to do with my uterus contracting...all I know is that I'm slowly shedding the last 10 lbs.

its so true- I gained 35 lbs with Sydney and I now weight about 20 lbs less then my pre-pregnancy weight I also believe that the breastfeeding does amazing things for the weight loss!
