Having Trouble With the Last 30 Lbs!

Well one thing is that when you don't eat healthy, eating once a day is the absolute worst thing you could do for yourself. You're supposed to cheat every once in a while. It teaches your body that it can't get used to you not eating very much, thus your metabolism stays at or near what it was before you started dieting instead of slowing down. But when you only eat once a say, you're teaching your body that it needs to conserve the food it gets and not burn it all, because its not getting any more! The best thing you could do for yourself is eat small healthy meals about 5 times a day, and not to change that when you cheat.

Well I havent had a baby or anything, but just in general you should just eat a balanced diet. Not eating anything or eating just once a day is not good. You need to eat small meals several times a day to keep up your metabolism. If you keep your metabolism up then you lose weight easier. Also, excercise! It doesnt really matter what you do...Just do something!

Right now, I am doing weight watchers! Its so easy! I'm not going to the meetings or anything, I just know the diet! I can tell you about it if you want me to! You'll lose that 30 pounds...Give it time!

:-.P I said it first!

Haha! It seems like we always have the same things to say!

Well im continuing to breastfeed to hopefully get it off (i only have about 5-7 more lbs but I hate my lilpooch when I sit down!) so I talked to my mom and she said it maye take a couple weeks, but try walking eccesively(sp?) and also a bit of exercise (not all the sit ups and that becuz it only turns the fat into muscle and wont make u lose weight.. But it might help a lil)... Im not sure what else.. But I know walking does do a great deal!

Lauren, I did weight watchers before andi got all teh stuff but I have yet to get it from my old house(not the one I moved from, but the one we were going to move to.B/c I had alreay put some stuff up there)--so I cant get it until I get the point counter, so I know how many points im eating...

Oh good, weight watchers is great because so many restraunts have ww menus with the points calculated and all! I know you arent breastfeeding, for those who are...They have a section in those books about nutrition and breastfeeding.

Yea I would agree with everyone eating healthy and exercise I will sure do all that after I have my baby because I always been active and even now I do yoga which is good for the body.

Yoga is great because it tones and supples.
Also walking and swimming - try aqua fit or something.
I so hope I don't put on much weight while i'm pregnant beacuse I was just starting a diet to lose weight and there's a fair bit too lose
i am hoping breast feeding is going to help

Kia I know what you mean I was too losing weight and exercising until I got pregnant then I just started with yoga hopefully that will help out.
