I'm with you!! I was way overweight to start with, but I dropped almost 50lbs before getting pregnant (using MFP and a nutritionist through work). I gained 30 back during pregnancy, lost 23lbs by Christmas (BabyPeavs was born 10.10), and now am suddenly up another 10. Well, not suddenly. I ate like CRAP during my maternity…

I second the poster who said stay away from Franken Foods. My nutritionist would tell you that your protein bars and any other "non-real" foods aren't doing you justice.

(someone mentioned the 30 Day Shred video - LOVE the 30 DS!!!) As to the topic, I think it depends on the activity. I really enjoy workout classes (kettle bells, yoga, etc) because I like the accountability - if I don't go, someone is asking me why. But for things like a DVD at home? Well, I'd rather do that alone. It's…

As they no longer fit. :) For me, I'm seeing that it's about every 20lbs. BUT, I wear clothes probably far longer than I should - they're all hanging off me before I switch 'em out. And I ALWAYS donate the too big stuff - NEVER keep clothes that are too big in your closet...it's just an excuse to gain weight back!
