Success Tips

I am now the proud mother of my third baby and I have been successful with losing the baby weight with each pregnancy. Here are some of my tips that have helped me in the past.

1. Keep a food journal and write EVERYTHING down including the condiments and drinks... they add up as well!!

2. Weekly weigh ins - This helps to ensure that you are staying on track!

3. Exercise - NO matter how small it may be ANYTHING is better than NOTHING!

4. If you have a lot of weight to lose, set up goals of 5 - 10 pound increments making it more realistic rather than unattainable!

5. Measure and do monthly follow ups of the following body parts - even if you aren't losing weight, you may be losing inches which is just as important.
a. Upper arms
b. thighs
c. waist
d. hips
e. bust

6. Allow for one day a week where you can "eat what you want" but make sure that it is still in moderation.

7. If you get off track one day, start right back up the next day. Don't fall into the rut that most people do by saying I will start on Monday because that specific Monday NEVER comes.

Hope these help!!!
