Old Wives' Tale?

I have been done breastfeeding for about 3 weeks now and the weight is melting off a LOT faster now than it did while breastfeeding. Okay, maybe that isn't true. I did lose 30 pounds right away. But was that attributed to the breastfeeding or because thats just what happens after you have a baby?! The world may never now.

So, the question is, when you breastfeed, do you REALLY lose the weight faster? Or is that just an old wives tale??? Because I have to tell ya, if it is true, it didn't work for me!!!
