~Eating Healthy Group Accountability~

[aliss]

I originally wanted to do an individual journal but I was wondering if any girls are willing to join me in an accountability thread?

Personally, I had no problems staying on track prior to pregnancy, but we all know what happens after that! I'm not interested in losing weight obviously at this time (although if you are, good on you!), but rather just keeping proper portions and making right choices.

I'm also including my exercise, which has been greatly reduced for pregnancy (I was into bodybuilding/powerlifting before). Include it if you exercise!

Hi!
I've had my baby but can I join?
Would be good for me to keep track of what I eat Ive got 7kg to get back to pre pregnancy size.
You seem like your eating very healthy!

Of course you are welcome to join ! Yes, keeping track is important if you are trying to lose weight. Weight loss is primarily diet (exercise really doesn't have an impact unless you eat a proper diet)!
