I feel like I'm always too tired to cook so my fridge/freezer is stocked with so much processed junk. I feel hypocritical preparing fresh, organic fruits and veggies for LO and eating crap myself :( I think once I start eating better, I'll start to have more energy and just feel better about myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-306532 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:15:55 +0000 sulli301 306532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not dieting, I am pregnant, but my glucose test is Monday so I am trying to eat very well this weekend or at least tomorrow ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-305997 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 06:57:43 +0000 heffalump 305997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I probably should be..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-305991 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 06:15:41 +0000 mediagirl 305991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but I should be watching what I eat a little better. I eat "normally" in my opinion: cereal for breakfast, leftovers for lunch, meat, veggies and starch for dinner.. I also snack a lot during the day but I'm so hungry! I only eat when I'm hungry now, at least. I still have 20lbs of baby fat to go. I gained 46 when I was pregnant. Oooops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-305989 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 05:56:52 +0000 Sweet T 305989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I really need to be. I only gained 26lbs when I was pregnant and it came off pretty quickly. I even got down to a few pounds under my prepregnancy weight. However, I've just been kind of stuck at that weight and doing nothing about it. I need to get it together. Like, yesterday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-305932 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:48:55 +0000 Grace 305932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in the pre-diet stage, otherwise known as the thinking about it stage. I bought the GI diet and I want to see if eating low glycemic foods keeps me full longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-305161 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:58:01 +0000 erwoo 305161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should be but I'm not. I'm a stress eater and watching two boys full-time is stressful! LOL! I have an eliptical so I'll prob just try to cut the carbs and do that daily. We'll see... I love carbs! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-305144 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:47:33 +0000 regberadaisy 305144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't believe in diets because they're temporary and once you're done you go right back to square one. I believe in being healthier and changing your lifestyle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-305105 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:29:56 +0000 daniellemybelle 305105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should be, but I'm not. I am technically on Weight Watchers (pay every month) but haven't tracked points in ages. I am also trying to avoid grains, especially refined ones, because, well, Pinterest says so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-304610 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:26:45 +0000 babynumber1 304610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing weight watchers to lose the last bit of baby weight, and the 10 pounds I put on before baby. I was able to get into a pair of prepreg pants today, and zip them up. That has made my day :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-304600 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:23:01 +0000 fairefaire 304600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I am. I started my diet to work out some suspected food allergies, but I've also lost weight in the process (which I do need to do). My diet is technically "paleo" but I am not hardcore about it. I'm just doing my best to stick to organic, whole foods and avoiding grains/dairy/soy/added sugar whenever possible. The added sugar is the hardest part as it is in everything. EVERYTHING. Including regular table salt! Crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-304348 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 02:33:50 +0000 looch 304348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am also at Pre baby weight, but it is still more than I want to be and I am so flabby. I am watching what I eat and next week I am starting couch to 5 k. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-304332 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 02:09:25 +0000 Arden 304332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it considered a diet when your food choices are made for you? Because if so, I'm on one. To gain weight. And it sucks.</p> <p>My midwife told me yesterday that she wants to see me start putting on some weight and said my food diary was lacking, so she wants me to try to eat something small every 90 minutes. </p> <p>Before you get jealous, I vomit up most of it, so it's really not fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303743 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 20:01:21 +0000 chrispygal 303743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You betcha! I have another 20 pounds to go to get to pre-baby weight. I am eating tons of lean protein and veggies and have pretty much eliminated starches. It's been working well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303709 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 19:53:53 +0000 oliviaoblivia 303709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not dieting for the first time in years, but not going hog wild with the pregnancy eating. It's nice to trust my body for once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303696 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 19:50:26 +0000 SAHM0811 303696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not dieting, but tracking calories and exercise on My Fitness Pal. Just helps me be more mindful of what I'm eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303466 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:50:02 +0000 blackbird 303466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Primal is kind of like paleo but not as strict! </p> <p>I'm not dieting because I'm pregnant, but I am choosing healthy, conscious food choices and ensuring I stay in my caloric limits. I would rarely say I "diet". Sometimes i buckle down more than others, but I eat clean/healthy most of the time, anyways </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303418 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:39:47 +0000 Bookish 303418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I decided at the end of last year that if I wanted to get pregnant, I should shed some weight. So far, 25 pounds! I lose weight REALLY slowly, but that's mostly because I haven't cut anything out. All I've done is keep track of what I'm eating and go walking/lift light weights every day. :) </p> <p>I'm actually pretty happy with my progress, even though it'd be nice to have lost it faster! I think I can keep it off better this way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303378 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:28:51 +0000 DillonLion 303378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all since I am pregnant. I'm not being ridiculous, but I am enjoying be a little more indulgent than usual and making sure to enjoy it before I have to reign it in after the baby is born/I'm done breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303352 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:22:33 +0000 Mrs. Pen 303352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kokobee: it all depends... if you are consuming mostly fruits and veggies your caloric intake will be less... you have to be sure that it's the quality of the calories, not the calories themselves. I know someone who dieted on McD's and kept their caloric intake less than 1500 - but none of us would say that's healthy... even though their calories were low. If you are eating avocados, salmon, etc all things high in calories but RICH in nutrients- then it all evens out.</p> <p>I'm not on a diet... but I eat pretty healthy. I prefer lifestyle changes rather than dieting.</p> <p>BUT when I wean from BF'ing I want to do a juice cleanse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303350 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:22:13 +0000 chopsuey 303350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Eating like a cow </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303343 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:20:10 +0000 Andrea 303343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not now that I am pregnant but I need to figure out what I am going to do after this baby comes. I feel like I'll need to get on it just about right away or else the weight/flab is just going to stick around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303338 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:19:09 +0000 autumnlove 303338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not dieting but eating carefully since I have gestational diabetes! I don't want it to stick after my baby arrives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303330 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:16:44 +0000 BoogieBea 303330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but I need to eat at more consistent times. The times I eat are all over the place because of the kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303329 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:16:29 +0000 kokobee 303329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>been trying to count calories but have been failing horribly! 1200 is just not enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dieting-right-now#post-303310 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:10:59 +0000 Mrs. Bee 303310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I weigh the same as I did pre-Olive, but the weight has totally redistributed and I'm so lumpy. I have a spare tire. :(</p> <p>I'm not actively dieting right now, but I want to start before I wean. All those calories I've been burning while nursing are going to be gone!</p> <p>I'm going to sign up for a pilates class for the sole reason that it's a block away. Any further and I'm too lazy to go in the winter. I also hope to change my horrendous diet to something more paleo but not as hardcore.</p> <p>Are you actively dieting? What kind of diet? </p>
