@Turf Dad: Oh yes it is! I cut out the muffin, I didn’t use it as replacement, of course. Down from 2 pastries a day to only one. So I guess that’s almost as good as cutting one in half

@MT: I know, I am such a let down. Must try harder next time To be honest, I have been so sick in my pregnancy to begin with, I didn’t crave much but to lay down and have food as far away from me as possible…

@Irish Mammy: You will be in good company. Maternal just wrote a post about pregnancy weight, Tara at Sticky Fingers is one of the founders of Blog to Fit, Cartside decided to join… And nobody is going to tell you off when you fall off the wagin every now and then. And now excuse me please, I need to get the croissants from the oven

Uhh… that’s not an improvement, or much of one depending on what kind of pastries you were eating. Cream Cheese, my favorite. Instead of eliminating your treat, why don’t you just cut it in half? I haven’t eliminated anything, just downsized the amounts.

@ModernMom: I left her for a full hour. She didn’t even blink. It’s depressing

@Cartside: I am walking! I am walking!

@Lady Mama: Well, on my daily walk it’s not so helpful. And closing my eyes is not really an option either.

@Turf Dad: The pastry might easily have been 500 cals. What does a Starbucks Chocolate Chip muffin have?

@Kat: Well, they say you shouldn’t shock the system… Thinking about how to incorporate cupcakes into the diet now.

@Mike: Thanks! You are doing great. I’ll see you next Wednesday

Best of luck on the fitness program! — and great progress, too!

I sure wish I could knock off as big a percentage of my weight loss goal, but I’ve got a lot further to go.

A diet which includes pizza & curry. Weight loss I could get on board with. Well done.

I took yoga as a required PE class in college. It kicked my butt! I would have tried to keep up with it at home, but with 3 kids it’s impossible.

Hey those pastries add up! If that pastry was 500 calories and you had 7 a week, you just eliminated 1 pound worth of calories.

Hi Metropolitan Mum. Good to meet another Londoner. I’m from England living in Canada. And oh how I miss London neighbourhoods dense with bakeries, restaurants and coffee shops. I too am on a mission to loose the baby weight (only thing that works for me is running). Sounds like you’re doing great.
