[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's in your diet? Do you measure things or estimate calories?[/quote]

I quit alcohol two months ago. Quit coffee a month ago. Generally do not eat bread/pasta (once or twice a week). Minimal intake of processed foods. Drink only water, sparkling water, green tea, and herbal tea (no added sugar or honey).

My diet is about 75% plant based. I eat granola or steel cut oats with fruit and almond milk in the morning. Sweet potato, beans, greens, squash, brown rice, root vegetables, etc - some combination thereof - for lunch. Salad for dinner, maybe with some cooked vegetables or brown rice. I DO have a sweet tooth, though, and since quitting booze eat a candy bar or some kind of sweet most days of the week. Is this enough to kill the (mostly) good stuff I eat?

I was very diligent about measuring and tracking calories from about May through August. It didn't make a difference. Since December of last year I've walked several miles several times a week (though this has fallen off in the past month and a half). Yoga. Running. CrossFit. The issue, though, is that - outside of walking - I have not been at all consistent with exercise. This is why I think I have to exercise consistently. [/quote]

How much do you weigh?  Are you actually overweight?[/quote]

Yes! 170. Was 145 (size 4/6) when I got pregnant.

How tall are you?

Look, there is some terrible advice on this thread. Obviously you are getting your stomach stapled or starving yourself. I agree with others that if you are really eating what you say you are eating, it makes very little sense for you to have not lost any weight unless you are extremely sedentary.

Forget the calorie counting. Eat healthy – mostly grains and lean protein, and don't drink your calories. Start with an intense at-home workout like T25. [/quote]
