My name is Teria and I'm having a really hard time losing the baby weight. I gained about fourty pounds and only lost fivteen after having her. I've been working my butt off running a mile a day and doing my post-natal pilates workout for about two months. And my weight has been bouncing up and down between a series of ten pounds. I'm starting to get really frustrated. I just need some support and maybe some diet and exerise tips.
Thanks so much! And I'm really excited to get to know you.
Hi Teria! I too recently had a baby. I gained a total of 48 pounds. After deducting the weight of the baby and the experts' estimated weight of water, womb, etc, I had about 20 pounds of fat left to lose. I find calorie counting very effective. It can be done, just persevere and don't give up! Good luck.
That's one of my major problems. I tried cutting carbs out, but there are so many hidden carbs that it's hard to keep track. I just need to find a diet and stick to it, but thre are so many to choose from, I don'nt know which one.
I'm not saying you are right or wrong.... that's all dependent upon your answer to the above question.
Also, why do you feel the need to pick a prepackaged diet plan?
I think more people would do better simply eating how they want, abiding by a few broad rules, with limited hurdles. The more prepackaged you get, the more hurdles there are and the more likelihood of tripping and frustration.
Very basic rules to abide by:
*monitor and control caloric intake
*eat adequate protein
*eat adequate healthy fats
*avoid highly processed foods as much as possible
*eat your veggies and fruits
