edited November 2024 in Success Stories
Just a little background. I was 120-131 lbs before conceiving my son in 2010. Right before I gave birth I was 175. Not long after I was down to 158. After a month of hard work I was down to 150/152. After that, I was at a standstill for 6 months. I was so discouraged, but didn't stop. I tweaked my diet, my exercise routines- and finally found what works for me: Eating organic whole foods and adhering to the primal blueprint (no grain, limited dairy), crossfit and/or moderate exercise daily. I still cheat :) I have days where I slip- but my self image and mentality have changed, and I don't think "Wow, I really screwed up- I'm going to eat like crap the rest of the day/week and restart Monday, or the 1st of next month." Now, I immediately turn it around.
