It seems that I'm back, again. I finally buckled down this year and decided it was time to stop making excuses and lose the baby weight...you know, since my baby is now a toddler and not a baby anymore. I officially started in January. I got back in touch with my personal trainer, and from the end of January to the middle of April I managed to drop about 15 lbs pretty easily. Unfortunately, shortly after that I stalled... For months...
I finally started to try out various things like cutting out certain parts of my diet to see if it affected how I felt, not even so much weight loss, but how I really felt. Sure enough when I ditched the gluten/wheat I started feeling more energetic and my stomach felt better. I still had problems though, so I cut out dairy...and what do you know my sinus problems went away and *ahem* other issues went away. (I'm leaving that to the imagination because I don't want to go all TMI on people!) Since returning I've managed to drop another 7 lbs, but more importantly I feel better! I've got more energy, I'm not hungry all the time, and I sleep better now!

Good for you!! I am not GF but I have a friend who has Celiac and have seen the difference going GF has made in her life! I BARELY eat dairy - in fact only skim milk with my chocolate protein powder. You are doing great!!0

I'm not GF either, but it's awesome to see how much it has helped you! Feel free to add me. :drinker:0

Thanks ladies! It's crazy how fast I can tell the difference in how I feel if I have a cheat meal with gluten or dairy in it. The next day I'm almost guaranteed to feel miserable!0
