I gained 10 pounds in 6 months! I can't believe it. This is more than I have ever weighed before. I was always steady at the same weight no matter what I ate. Now I am going crazy at the gym and really dieting to get it back off, but it is sooo much harder. So easy eating pizza with DH all the time to PUT IT ON, so hard to get it off...

My mom was telling me about this--I think I would do well with lots of smaller meals. What types of food do you eat for the 200 calorie meals?

DH is doing Body for Life... he loves the program and had great success with it in the past

I know Farah is a big advocate of the plan, she has posted about it on SlimDown quite a few times..

Its not a plan where you see weight loss FAST but overall I do believe its the healthiest plan out there, since it really balances good eating with exercise in a very logical way

Of course I still haven't tried it, but I have read the book and seen how good it makes Dh feel, so I'm seriously thinking of going for it myself

You don't wanna know! Pregnant or not, it's still a scary number.

No I happened to be in King Kullen. I bent down to pick something up and there it was in plain site! Luckily no one was around, I think, and I had a jacket in my cart !

Re: How much weight have you gained since getting married?

So much!!!

I think it's because I used to make small portions of dinner for myself and now DH makes dinner a lot and just cuts whatever he makes in half - so I end up eating the same amount as he would!!!!!!

always a protein and a healthy carb...

typically for breakfast I have a protein shake.

then 2 hours later soy yogurt witha handful of kashi go lean crunch thrown in, then 2 hours later I have small whole wheat pita with lunch meat, egg salad, something like that, small salad and piece of fruit. Then mid afternooon I have a protein bar.
Dinner- grilled chicken, lean steak, fish- a small potato or sweet potato and a salad....
for desert a piece of fruit.

I work out every morning- except Sunday- 20 minutes of interval training cardio 3 days a week. 40 minutes of weight training 3 times a week.

I do this through eDiets.com and I have the book.

Ugh - I had gained almost 20 pounds and then I got pregnant so its now 30 pounds I need to lose.

The baby now sleeps through the night and is in bed by 7:30 so I go to the gym. Nights that I know I can't go I pop in my Billy Blanks Boot Camp video LOL. This weight needs to come off - I feel awful and look even worse.
