This feeling of pride is better than a million of cupcakes, believe me - it motivates to sharpen the saw. Personally I don't keep diets, just try to keep healthy way of living. I've got used to <a href="http://fatlossfactorsreviews.com/weight-loss-calculator/" rel="nofollow">my weight loss calculator online</a>, it helps me to estimate what products should I eat and that helps to avoid weight gain.Sarah3aharyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401176748137394758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-53055453231976580142014-02-27T15:50:26.494-05:002014-02-27T15:50:26.494-05:00Love your blog!

I've just ordered the popular cookbook "against all grain" and I'm eager to start incorporating some dietary changes. I also had GD this time around (I strongly suspect I also developed it later in my first pregnancy), though my real reason for needing to make the switch is my 8 month old's sensitivity to dairy, soy, wheat, legumes, among others.<br />I think you've done a fabulous job. I was also thinking that your less than stellar weight loss every other week was water retention from ovulation/ menstruation but I was too lazy to comment with my phone ;-)<br />My unsolicited two cents is that you need to try cooking for yourself because sticking to such a rigid diet is unrealistic for most people. If you allow yourself little indulgences now and then, you're less likely to return to old habits. What I find easiest when dieting (though, bear in mind that I am 8 years younger than you) is to eat a lean meat, with lots of veges and salad, and NOT eating low fat. But with zero grains or starchy vegetables. I suppose it's a modified south beach/ paleo. I have to start "dieting" again and would really love to get my bmi between 19-20 again. I think I'm around 22 right now, which just doesn't feel good on me.<br />I read somewhere that you have to maintain your weight for 6 months before you lower your weight set point. I wonder whether it's true!<br />Katerinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342263141626888554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-31423735220768522072014-02-26T14:38:54.271-05:002014-02-26T14:38:54.271-05:00Kerri - Really good question.

I don't have a complete answer on it yet - my hope is to find other go-to foods that will be easy, taste good, be less processed, and will help me maintain the loss. I'll definitely be posting about it, and yeah, I anticipate it's going to be harder than the initial weight loss has been (unfortunately!)Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934734052367802262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-32309358846383868262014-02-26T13:33:49.931-05:002014-02-26T13:33:49.931-05:00Congrats on your weight loss success!

If we didn't need them they wouldn't be around! Do you play to stay on Jenny Craig for weight maintenance now?<br /><br />I am just curious because for me the hard part is staying at my goal weight and no so much getting to it!Kerrihttp://www.averagejanedoesfitness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-20721851599064129342014-02-26T00:49:29.296-05:002014-02-26T00:49:29.296-05:00Sidebar is finally back-maybe it's a WiFi issu...Sidebar is finally back-maybe it's a WiFi issue here.

I set my goal lower than I would have thought at the start, but, it is like my body/mind just wont allow me to settle there. it is low, so I am ok keeping it as the elusive attainment...<br /><br />I also want to tell you that if you decide to search out those cupcakes and find no self-control, it is OK! sometimes you just have to indulge your deepest desires :)<br /><br />once you are close to your goal, and you have the info, and you know what it takes, these little slips don't make such a difference IN THE BIG PICTURE. the other day I ate TEN granola bars throughout the course of my day, and I felt like such sh*t... however, I woke up the next day, re-committed, and it was all ok. those deep cravings come from trying too hard to stay at the low-end. I know this, so it is a matter of finding that magical balance.<br /><br />you are doing so good mo, in just 12 weeks?! congrats!
