10 Weeks, 12lbs - Progress Pics

MrBecky · September 2013

Good job! Can I ask what exercises you are doing? Or just calorie deficit?

Just calorie deficit pretty much. I did a little exercise at the beginning but I have dodgy knees that did NOT like me doing much more than just walking after having a baby and gaining lots of weight! My plan is to start back up with the exercise when I am a bit lighter so it will be kinder to my knees.

So yeah - just sticking to 1600-1800 ish calories a day (I'm 5'9") and not cutting anything out, just making sure I'm sensible with portions and try to get plenty of veggies.

Thanks! Wow, that is impressive. I am eating at a deficit (1700-1800 with my breastfeeding calories added in) but still gaining. I usually watch what I eat but I have ice cream and snacks sometimes. No candy, pop, or drinks. But I still gain.

Here's my progress pic - I've noticed it in my face and the way my clothes are fitting, but not really in my body until I did this side-by-side comparison!
