I always have the best success when I stick to these five food groups and NOTHING else: complex carbs, fruit, veggies, lean protein, and healthy fats. It involves a ton of cooking, but it became routine and the weight slides off every single time… like a pound a day at least the first week. It's nuts! It's hard to stick to because CARBS! SUGAR! DAIRY! But it definitely does work, and you don't have to exercise!

Have you tried cycling? In college and before I got pregnant I was taking spin classes 3-4 times a week. Now I'm trying to do it 1-2 times a week. Seriously the BEST workout ever and good for your knees!

That is awesome that you got Brody potty trained so fast! I feel like we will never be fully there, lol! Can you make him do quiet time in his room instead of napping? I need to get back on that track asap with G!

Yay for potty training success!! M&Ms and waiting until our daughter was ready worked like a charm for us. It's so nice to only have one in diapers 🙂 My daughter quit napping right before her 3rd birthday… RIP the afternoon nap! She does quiet time in the afternoons when her brother naps now. We're figured out a good routine, but I definitely miss those 2 hours in the afternoon. Maybe quiet time would work for Brody?? It's such a tricky age for naps because my daughter is up until 10:00 if she does nap so we do our best to avoid naps these days.

Personal trainer!! I did it for a long time including leading up to my wedding 3 years ago and through my whole pregnancy! Anytime Fitness downtown is wonderful. My trainer Courtney Lepinay is moving soon but she could get you started then hand you over to Lorenzo who is wonderful too. She is also amazing with nutrition and does meal plans. For me I needed to be held accountable and I wanted someone to train me that knows what they are doing so I can see results.

I personally had the best success with a Beachbody at home program- p90x, 21 Day Fix, Insanity, etc, there are only a couple that I actually think work and I'm a technically a coach even though I only do it for the discount, lol- but I read all your posts so if you want 25% off and some more info feel free to email me at mag.dohler@gmail.com

I'm not much of a swimmer either, and the best cardio workout that I've found, besides running and spinning, is using the rowing machine. It is much gentler on your joints and knees, and I love that it combines cardio with resistance training. It burns tons of calories, and I've found that it also adds definition to my abs and arms. Cheers, Laura
