Hi! My name is Erica and I just wanted to introduce myself. I have been using this site via Iphone for about 10 days, but I think I still need a little direction..lol. I just had my son in June, and so far I have lost 15 pounds before I found this site, but u want to look like what I did before I was pregnant. I'm sick of being huge! lol

Your logs are private except to friends so I can't check for myself. What things are you doing to get in shape?

Off the bat without knowing anything the two things I can say are: Routine and Moderation

For me at least routine is the key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle long term. Losing weight is easy, it's keeping it off that's difficult. Find things that you can do that become automatic. If you can't regularly find time to make it to the gym for two hours, instead commit to doing a quick workout at home for 15-20 minutes every day. Those 15-20 minutes of physical activity every day are FAR better than the two hours of exercise you never do. If you can't bring yourself to stomach a certain salad, find one that might not necessarily be quite as healthy but you can eat regularly.

Moderation helps with establishing and maintaining a routine. Think about what you can realistically do. Don't expect to go from 5000 calories a day to 1200 overnight. Start small. Log everything you eat, and look at the things you can take out, or replace with healthier alternatives. Same goes for exercise, don't start expecting to run a marathon if you haven't been running in years or ever.


Good luck!
