My bad, let me clarify what I meant! Stay away from simple carbohydrates. Complex are ok as long as protein and veggies make up the majority of your meal. Better? -

Heck yeah you can gain weight!! Stay away from carbs! If you are going to snack make sure it counts! I have definitely learned that the hard way!! -

Well I did really well till about 5-6 months ago and started letting myself slide. Gained like 10 lbs. But then my dr put me on cymbalta in November 2012 and that caused some serious carb cravings! I gained 30lbs in almost 3 months! So I've finally gotten that out of my system and am losing again. Have to make a conscious effort not to snack, that's my down fall. But everything's finally falling back into place! -
Make sure your dr checks your vitamin D level too! When I was 2 years out and STILL losing hair I was just a basket case. After a ton of testing they found my vitamin D3 level was seriously low. That was about 4 months ago and can tell such a BIG difference! Lots of new growth! Takes a month or so to catch up, then it'll start growing!!

Nice to meet you! I have to say its certainly been an adventure! It's absolutely without a doubt the best thing I ever did for myself! The past year I have found myself at times reverting back to bad habits, but over all it's still a day by day conscious effort I still have to make. My next goal is to start exercising again now that it's warm outside (finally!) How about you? How far out are you?
