[quote=Anonymous]I did a quick but fairly strict diet at the beginning of this year to get off the last of the baby/nursing weight (10 extra lbs unfortunately!)  I'm 41.  There are so many types of diets, and fad eating routines, and people swearing that you have to eliminate this food group or that food group but I really think it absolutely boils down to one thing: [b]portion control[/b].  I really had to reset *how much* I was eating (as well as making healthier choices).  And everything I read about the obesity epidemic underscores that it is not just the corn syrup etc. but the slow creep up of portions and sheer amount of what we are eating.  It was a little painful for the first month - i.e. I was hungry all the time.  But now it's 2-3 months past hitting goal weight (140 & 5' 9") and I'm back to eating whatever I want, just less of it, and I pay attention to the amount... and no hunger or weight gain.

The other thing I read is important - and try (sometimes unsuccessfully) to do is to lead an active life instead of just "getting to the gym."  I do have almost 2 mile walk for my commute.  And then I often try to take a walk at lunch - and a walk/playground trip with my kids almost every evening as well. [/quote]
