I lost 42 pounds with out even trying when I had jake with breast feeding..but with andrew it was cut short unexpectedly...so i was stuck with this baby weight..and its not coming off..9 months later i still look as preg as i did when he was born... no matter how little I eat..... what does age have to do with it? -------------------- Stacy, wife to Peter, mom to Caleb, Jakob, and Andrew

I didnt start to shed alot of weight until I was no longer breastfeeding and was able to really diet. -------------------- Peggy Wife to Tim (Oct 1996) Mom to Sammy (Nov 2004), Abby (Jun 2006)

Zander I breastfed for a lon time and lost 50 lbs like it was nothing. With Zavier it took about a year before I was back to my normal weight, and I only pumped for him for 6-7 months. --------------------
