I know breastfeeding makes you lose weight faster and it did for me. But now I seem REALLY stuck and I only have like 5 -10 more pds to lose so.. I am just wondering ... do you keep on any extra weight while breastfeeding? Is this normal or I just need to bump up the exercising?

Both times I was breastfeeding (and still am) I have kept on a few pounds. Nothing excessive just a few pounds be sure and don't panic and start dieting too hard or you could harm your milk supply. I am not sure how much longer you have but if it's only 5-10 lbs hold off until the baby is weaned .. if possible

I have lost 70 lbs after breastfeeding my 8 month old. I am still nursing. I have been stuck for about a month. My goal is about 10 to 15 lbs more. Now that the weather has changed, my husband gets home after dark and it is hard for me to get out to walk. I have noticed that my 14s are starting to fit better. I tend to loose inches more than pounds. I retain alot of water. It will come off. I have hit several stops in the past months. Good luck

You definitely do hang on to a few pounds while you are breastfeeding, at least while you are regularly breastfeeding. It is your bodies way of protecting baby. As soon as you stop breastfeeding it will begin to return to normal.
Also after you stop breastfeeding your breasts will look somewhat like empty bags but within 6 months fat will return to the breasts. I was panicking about that one!

I remember reading somewhere that with each child the mother will be about 5 lbs heavier. My 130 lbs before children looks a lot different than 130 lbs after children.

It can never hurt to bump up your exercising. Keep an eye on your diet too - you don't want to "diet" but neither do you want empty calories.
