Portion control is more accurate. “Lifestyle change” is the true Holy Grail. There’s nothing in the world that will work for you if you can’t keep it up.
Congrats on your accomplishments, ladies!

down to 185 after I quit dieting

It’s because she was not an overweight person to begin with. I’ve also lost about 8 lbs since February – which is major (going from 119 to 111) – as I also was not overweight, just a little thicker than I used to be.

I look at my pre prego clothes and wonder what it would be like to wear them again and still can’t bring myself to actually get active. I feel so much better when I’m active but the motivation isn’t there. I am the type of person that needs a “partner in crime” if you will. I need someone to do things with. Like going to the gym, I need someone to feed off of or I won’t go. I own a treadmill, in fact if I reach out my left hand I will be touching it(or should I say wiping off the dust). For some reason I can’t bring myself to put on my shoes and just start walking. What is wrong with me. What happended to the active outdoorsy person that I once was?
