    I would just say hell yeah & use this as motivation to get back on track! If you lost this one not trying imagine how great it will be to get your butt in gear again! Sounds like you don't even need to do too much to do so :D

    Our bodies have a funny way of doing things and when your on your period your body works harder to get what it needs. Yes it is possible.

    I didn't do alot of exercising. I just try to be more active at home and at work and I make sure my family and I do something on the weekends that involves lots of walking.

    I changed my weight loss goals from 2lbs per week to 1.5lbs per week; that only bumped me up from 1220 to 1390 but it seems to have made a huge difference.

    It's known as "diet breaking" eating at maintenance or a bit of a surplus will increase your leptin levels if they are low, which can rejuvenate your metabolism. Which is why some people lose weight the day after they have a "horrible eating day" when they go over their calories.
