  • Up until my 28-week check-up I had put on 8.5 pounds. Then, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I began eating healthier and counting my calories to make sure I was getting enough. I started my pregnancy at 222 pounds (I'm 5'9") and was told at my first OB appointment to eat around 1800 calories. I thought that…

  • I'm looking to lose 60 pounds and go from there. I'm thinking I'd like to lose 80ish total, but I'll have to see what my body is like when I get the first 60 off. I am three weeks post-baby and waiting to get the go-ahead to diet and exercise completely. For now, I am just watching what I eat and trying to sleep when I can.

  • My husband and I make almost all of our meals at home, and he packs his lunch for work most days. I, too, have a Walmart, Target, Sam's and a Cash Wise Foods in our area. I'm trying to watch my sodium as well, so I hear you on that. It's hard to lower it at first and gets easier the more meals you cook with lower sodium. I…

  • I used the South Beach Diet in the past. I had really good luck with losing 35 lbs in 3 months. And that was with minimal exercise. I had wanted to take a bunch of weight off before I got into working out. It is, however, a very permanent lifestyle change. I went back to regular eating habits and gained all of the weight I…
