@mrs. bird: hahaha thanks! You should see it in the jeans that actually fit!! all these pilates is paying off lol

thanks everyone!! eek soo excited :):)

@Thehistoryofus: Woohoo! good job. It feels so great, right? I need to do more weights too. I've been obsessed with cardio

@MrsBrewer: I do pilates every Saturday morning, so usually only once a week. If I can make it to another class during the week, I will. But generally that's the day I can make it. I go to classes at the YMCA - but there is a good pilates video on netflix I will do occasionally if I'm stuck at home.

I also do zumba class once a week - it is a crazy good/fun workout. Lots of jumping, running, spinning, kicking etc.

The biggest weight loss came from changing my diet. I've been eating healthy since I got pregnant, but then I cut out all refined sugar (no kidding!) and all grains. I went completely gluten free and didn't even eat rice. I did allow myself to have quinoa though. I have LOVED going gluten-free, the best decision I've ever made. Now I bake with almond flour, if I use a sweetener it's raw honey. I eat quinoa spaghetti noodles - so I haven't given up my favorite foods, just substituted ingredients.

The week I gave up sugar/grains, I lost 10 lbs in ONE WEEK. When i indulged myself one week because I'd been so good, I gained 4 lbs in two days! Haha so I'm back to gluten free

@sandy: Whole Foods sells them. But we have a local store, Cub Foods that sells them in their natural foods section - so maybe you can check out the natural foods section in your local store??

@jholler25: aww thanks!! means so much coming from you, you workout diva!! I kinda wish we lived by each other so you could motivate me :):)

@Boogs: see my post above in response to mrsbrewer
