Also remember you are changing a habit of oversnacking, which will take time. Replace the habit with herbal tea or carrot sticks, or keeping your hands busy in another way.

Something is wrong if you are feeling that deprived. Distribute your calories differently so that you save more of them for the evening. Are you eating high calorie foods during the day and then left unable to snack in the evening? If you find yourself mindlessly eating, take a look at what you are doing that triggers it.…

I would make sure you are speaking with your doctor and/or a therapist. You could be suffering from post partum depression. I agree with the earlier post -- focus on taking care of your little one, and getting sleep when you can. Unpacking and moving stuff and regular walks with the baby in the stroller are good each day,…

Congratulations on your success. Go to the gym, wear spandex, jog in the street, whatever! Don't let your mind mess with you. The people at the gym are not paying much attention to you -- we are all in our own heads. Even if someone noticed or had thoughts -- maybe some of them are positive, like "good for her, she's…

Lots of cardio, low impact if need. Later as your muscles get stronger, your knees may be better. Walking at a very fast pace...like you are late for an appointment, for 30 minutes minimum every day. It's not just about spot toning....you need to burn off the fat with cardio and good diet over time.

I often put out but up fruit or raw veggies while I am cooking dinnner. It's amazing how the kids will eat them when they are so hungry. They will keep running back in to eat them. No sense cooking them or serving them WITH dinner, just get them in first. A little low fat ranch dressing makes a reasonable dip. Baby…

I agree with much of what has been said here. I've been sleeping MUCH better since I increased the number of workouts per week. When I first started cutting back on calories and quantity of food, I did not sleep well. Then when I started eating back my exercise calories, I slept great. I don't remember when I've had a…

Think about why you are feeling this need now. Many of us eat emotionally, and for you, something triggered the change in motivation. Broken heart? Trouble at work? Feeling unappreciated? Get to the bottom of it. Be sure to get moving and work out. Getting the blood pumping is empowering. Good luck.

This one from NutriStrategy seems more detailed than I have seen. Just found it, so I don't know the accuracy/reality check yet. http://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist3.htm

I'm sure it does feel great...Now that you've celebrated, take a look at what you are doing. If you are hungry and drinking water in place of food, you are starving your body. If you are exercising too, then without healthy eating, your body will go into slow mode and you will stop losing weight. This is not a healthy or…

If you've cut out the fat and reduced your sugar intake, and perhaps don't have enough fiber....Make sure you are exercising, add sme healthy fiber to your diet, and keep up the water intake. Consider Metamucil...really works, but follow directions carefully. I'd recommend once a day only. If it's not better soon, yes call…

You sound depressed, and I would recommend that you see your general physician and/or a therapist. Also check to see if you are eating enough and the right foods. You should feel energized and empowered by the healthy eating and exercise, not down. We all get depressed now and then, and for women, there may be a hormonal…
