It's just so uncomfortable, and hot, and nothing fits and....ahh! Count nutrients, not calories. That's what I tell myself. It has helped keep my weight down for the pregnancy. I couldn't stop myself from making snickerdoodles this week, however.

Helps to keep me mindful of my eating when I'm inputting data on it. Also, Lindsay Brin has a great series of DVDs to heal the diastasis recti and to lose weight postpartum called "60 day slim down." Finally, I found a FB group called "Operation: Get my Body Back" which has been very encouraging. All three have been verrrrry helpful to me as I lose the last 10 dang pounds.

I lost it all and got back to my 20-year-old pre-baby weight and leanness by eating more fat (there is a caveat to that, so let me know if you want details) and not counting a single calorie. And your body composition (weight, muscle tone, etc) really is 80-90% diet.TKDMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05418672576473916125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-73236234804685675622012-08-08T12:47:22.332-04:002012-08-08T12:47:22.332-04:00It deals a lot with when you eat and why you eat. ...It deals a lot with when you eat and why you eat.

And how tall are you? We are the same freakin' weight (I actually clocked in at 152 this morning...whatever) and my fifth baby just turned one!!! <br /><br />What helped me get back into exercising was signing up for a half-marathon that happened 7 months after giving birth. I'm not saying it helped me lose weight because I ate whatever I wanted. But it got me back to running faster than I would have without that goal. <br /><br />I find that when I cut out drinking and eating after dinner, I lose weight slowly but steadily. But really, who wants to live like that???Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451797365712728579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-50163769654863756982012-08-08T01:12:23.435-04:002012-08-08T01:12:23.435-04:00Right up my alley!
