Maybe you are eating healthier which makes you lose weight. I had acid reflex problem when I was carrying my second one. I didn't feel like eating because it's uncomfortable. So I only gained 5 lbs the first 7 months. I gained another 10 the next two months as the acid-reflex problem went away. But I had a 10 lbs baby.…

We are the same age. I used to be able to lose weight without much effort (before 37). Since I turned 37 and went into perimenopause, I have found I had to watch what I eat. I watch my weight daily. I eat according to my weight at that day. I never allow myself to go 2 lbs over my normal weight. Having said that,…

Thank you!

I also found now I am older and in perimenopause, potion control is not enough to lose weight. Especially I am trying to lose vanity weight. But I found South Beach works for me. It's slow but it works. I avoid suger, starch and animal fat. Eat 3 serves of veggie and 2 serves of beans a day. Limit to one serve of whole…

Wow, sounds like something I can enjoy. I will keep my eyes open the next time I go to Whole Foods.

Nuts. Too bad I only can eat 1 oz a day.
