Well, I think keeping active helps. Even if it's just cleaning the house and taking baby for a walk- it's still moving!
I did a lot of the 30 Day Shred Challenge by Jillian Michaels- LOVE it!
I also went Vegetarian so that cut the fat WAY down, but since I'm nursing and need 1800 calories a day, that gave me room for kit kats so that was good for morale lol.
Even though I've lost the weight, I still feel... not myself quite yet. I need to do more toning. So right now my focus is on toning and maintaining my weight.
Calorie counting sux, but it's really helpful to know how much you're taking in everyday. I counted calories for awhile till I had a basic understanding of what I need to eat everyday (as well as what to avoid), now I don't count calories, but have a basic idea how much I'm taking in everyday.
Oh and of course- drink tons of water and be sure to take in plenty of fiber and protein
