How are you or did you loose weight?

I have 10 lbs to go.  I know exercise and eating healthy does the trick but I need specifics.

Cut out all processed foods and BFing.  The weight just fell off this time.

WW

I can't help in the eating department cause I eat like crap, lol.

But I run 4 days a week, then do a work out video (normally strength training) 5-6 days a week.

I'm BFing, so that helps a lot.  But I've also cut out dairy, and I feel like that has made a huge difference.  No ice cream, butter, Mexican, Italian for me.

I know when I was dieting that eating breakfast each morning helped me a lot.  And for some reason drinking milk seemed to help a lot too.  Lots and lots of water.  Kool aid has a sugar free version too that is yummy.

Wii Fit and Active Sports. lol. I realized I HAD to work out. I also followed a bunch of WW like eating loads of veggies. Watched out my intake of meat and cheese.

Since I BF, I didn't start anything major until about 6 months. I've lost all my weight and am smaller than I was at least a year before being preg. I also think snacking through the day helps. Since DS is mobile, I'm not able to sit down and eat. So I just grab a few bites of things here and there. It really does help me feel full through the day.

I really limit my carbs.  I don't cut out carbs, but I try not to eat a lot of breads or cereals or pastas.  I find that the more carbs I eat, the more I crave them.  The more I eat fruits, veggies, and proteins...I stay fuller longer and I don't have the cravings.

I workout as often as possible.  With DS, it's been hard.  But before I had DS I worked out 6 days a week.  The exercise helped with the weight, but it also made me feel so good that I wanted to eat healthy, too.

Count calories to make sure that:

RMR (resting metabolic rate) + calories burned during exercise/day > calories consumed in a day

old fashioned calorie counting.  The weight doesn't come off quickly, but it does slowly which I feel is way more important.

sparkpeople.com is really helpful!

Rethink favorite recipes and cut calories/fat.  I Can't Believe it's not butter Spray is a super helpful.  Instead of using an entire piece of cheese on my sandwich, I use half. 

Oh, and I'm competing against my dh for professional pampering each month (think massage or a pedicure, etc... things you don't always do for yourself). That's really helpful because we're motivating each other.

This isn't going to help, but BF. I BF w/o supplementing and w/o bottles. I'm 20 lbs lighter than when I got pregnant.
