Well, since Daniel has been born I have lost thirty pounds and since my last weight check when I was pregnant with Daniel I have lost 60 pounds. I still have a long way to go (about 70lbs), but I am happy so far with my weight loss. I know right now you must be thinking geez how big was she. I was never skinny before my three pregnancies, but having three pregnancies in a row, just caused me to gain a lot of weight. I have now started to concentrate on getting my weight down and get healthier, so I can keep up with Daniel who is an active child.
To help myself lose weight I have tried to eat better. My eating habits before were not the best. I guess I was making up for not being able to eat what I want when I was pregnant due to Gestational Diabetes. The new cookbook that I got called Cooking Light has so many great recipies in it. It is the first cookbook that I have gotten that so far does not have a recipie in it I do not like. I really love the BBQ porkchop recipie in there. I have also made the sugar cookies, the BBQ Chicken Pizza (I altered this recipie a little), and I have made a chicken with black bean salsa. The black bean salsa was so good. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good cooking light recipie book.
I have also been using Weight Loss Chews from Arbonne, which give you a little energy boost and help curb your appetite. They definitely give your a energy boost, which is great. I like all the flavors, but have not tired the Pink Lemonade. I have also been using this Dietary Supplement . The are great, as they help curb your appetite and they really do. They are also suppose to increase your metabolism. I really do not know if they do this, but I know that they have helped me curb my appetite, as I use to be one that would snack a lot during the day, but I do not do so anymore. I would recommend that if you need just a little help with losing weight or curbing your appetite to try the Weight Loss Chews or the Dietary Supplement. I have notice that even if I do not take the Dietary Supplement as often as they suggest, due to taking them frequently in the beggining I do not feel I need to eat as frequently. I figure I probably will use them for another month or two and then stop using them to see what happens.
My exercise for now has only been chasing and playing with Daniel, which is great exercise and taking a walk with Daniel.
Now, you are probably wondering why is she telling us all this stuff. The main reason is because I know that there are so many people who struggle with weight issues and I just want to show that you an lose the weight and lose the weight the right way, slowly. You just need to have the confidence in yourself and the dedication.

Good for you. I lost alot all of my pregnancy weight plus 10 pounds. I know I would have lost more if it wasn't for my sweet tooth. I have spent my entire maternity leave baking and trying new recipes. In a way, I'll be glad to go back to work and get back to a normal diet. You're right. It takes alot chasing after a toddler.
That's wonderful Sabrina! You should be proud of yourself. I am so glad to hear that you are doing it the right way also. My little sister has a nutrition degree and she said the best way is portion-control and exercise. Don't ever try any of those crash diets because it's not good for your body. Good luck! I know you can do it.
