Random BF/Weight loss question

MaggieF516

I have lost 50 lbs since I had my little one and actually weigh 10 lbs less than when I got pregnant.  I can't help but think that this must be related to BFing.  I've been eating somewhat better, but nothing substantial and previously weight loss was always a decent amount of effort.  Unfortunately I've been considering stopping BF because it is really having an impact on my productivity at work when I have to take breaks 3x a day for half an hour.  I'm just curious if anyone else who had success losing weight while BFing put weight back on or gained weight when they stopped?  I'm assuming that BF is burning 500 calories a day and I might need to burn an additional 500 a day to maintain the weight loss.
