Hi, my name is Bethany and I gotta lose some serious baby weight! I was really sick and actually LOST weight in the beginning of my pregnancy, but man, it all came back in the end, plus some! I actually love to work out, but the eating part is where I struggle. I don't eat big portions, I just snack constantly and weakness is definitely the sweet stuff! I am learning how to control that though. I want to lose about 65 lbs! Wish me luck--I look forward to helping when I can with everyone here!

    This site really helps with the snacking. If you eat it, you have to type it in, so it really makes me think about what I am eating. The first week, I was actually taking things out of my mouth so I wouldn't have to change my food diary! :laugh:

    Congratulations on your baby!

    I would like to add to the last comment.. not only logging it in.. but when you eat, do nothing else, except eat. No Tv, No Music. No distractions. Take a bite and chew very slowly--at least 12 times per bite. Savor the flavor. Taking your time really does help to fill you up so much faster. you'd be amazed. trust me.. i was not a believer, till i really committed and tried it.
