I Could Not Lose The Weight After Changing Of So Many Diet.
I had my 2nd child in Feb of 2010. I couldn t lose the weight. In august I was 155 and I quick smoking, stopped drinking soda, eating sweets and cut out fast food entirely. It is now December and I am down to 125. Is that normal for making so many changed in my diet ? Before this weight loss I was smoking a pack a day, drinking 2-3 large soda s from mcdonalds, a couple other soda s thruoghout the day and eating alot of fast food. Now I m drinking lots of water, eating fruits. Baking meals at home with low fat meats, or turkey. Plus Im not skipping meals I m eating at least 3 meals a day and sometimes will have a snack or 2 throughout the day. Just wanted to make sure that this is normal for this kind of change.
