I gained over 60lbs while I was pregnant with my daughter (and I still had 10lbs of "baby weight" that I had never lost from when my son was born March 2011, I gained 60lbs with him too). She was born December 24, 2012. I had 70lbs I needed to lose. I immediately started eating a low(er) carb diet and by mid February had dropped 30lbs. I lost another 10lbs from mid February - end of March and then things stalled. I didn't lose any weight in April and May wasn't looking any better. I saw this picture of myself and knew I had to change something. Exercising is rarely an option for me, so the bulk of my weight loss has to come from my eating habits. I decided to try a Whole Foods diet. I took the rest of the month of May to start making small changes in my eating habits to prepare for the bigger change come June 1st. I ended up losing about 10lbs the month of May.
June 1st I began my (mostly) Whole Foods diet. After 28 days, I can confidently say I ate 99% Whole Foods.
I am now just 10lbs away from my never had a baby body weight! Honestly, I'm pretty happy with where I am right now. But, I am going to keep going for losing another 10lbs.
It's been easy, it's been tasty, I am rarely hungry, I am eating GOOD food, I feel GREAT, I feel HEALTHY. It's fabulous.
Way to go girl!!! You have more gumption than I do. I'm still debating when I want to start eating better. After being deprived for 9 months (and still not really feeling like eating anything) I feel like I have to let myself go crazy for a little bit. lol :) But none of my shorts fit!!!
