I'm working on it. I'm close to where you girls are weight/height wise. So I could easily stand to lose 40 lbs, but I'd be happy with 20. I must lose at least 12 lbs before I get pregnant again, to be at the weight I was when I got pregnant with my son. I don't want to put on 10-15 lbs in between each child.
I lost 4 lbs the first week when I was very strict about my calories, that's all I do is count calories and exercise, anyway that week I lost 4 lbs but then since then I just haven't done as well. In fact I'm sitting here now eating peanut butter M&M's. It's hard for me to be strict with my food intake when I have a lot of stress because denying myself what I want makes me MORE stressed, and eating something sweet and yummy is definitely a comfort thing for me at times. Usually what I try to do is be very disciplined throughout the week and then I let myself slide a little more on weekends, although I try to watch it then too.
I'm trying to get back in the saddle with it today but these m&m's are calling my name. Oh well I'll count the calories as my breakfast I guess
