I couldn't vote because I've lost about 3lb this last month, the reason being that I was diagnosed with gestatinal diabetes, so I had to change my diet completely!

I went down 6lbs.

I feel as though at my age there's not a whole lot of time to fix things so I don't end up with Type II diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, etc. I need to stay focused so that means no slacking or cheating, even for yom tov.

It's so easy to drink too many calories. Especially with delicious wines.

I know! my doctor told me I should have a daily glass when I get home from work, because I'm always stressed (he also told me to take yoga and meditation, I adore him). it's really hard, tho, to only have ONE glass. since DH doesn't drink wine, it's all there for the taking.

I don't weigh myself for a week after yom tov, as a general rule. life is difficult enough, no need to be cruel to myself.

gained 5 pounds... now at 7 weeks postpartum I weigh more than I did at 3 weeks postpartum.
causes:
large yom tov meal after large yom tov meal after large yom tov meal
huge appetite from nursing
started birth control
at home on maternity leave (hang out in the kitchen...)
didn't do my daily weight check since I wasn't home (no scale) for yom tov

OK, time to start exercising!

I gained 5-6 lbs. this month (& will find out exactly how much when I go to WWs tomorrow).
The reason:
Eating like there was no tomorrow over rosh hashana, before & after tzom gedaliah, before & after yom kippur, while cooking for sukkos & over the first days, chol hamoed & over these last few days but enough is enough. Yom tov is OVER & it's time to get back on track & I WILL DO IT!!!
