I went from being one of "those" kind of dancers to working in an office and quickly packed on the weight, since I wasn't moving as much anymore. I lost 40lbs in 6 months on the South Beach diet, then I got pregnant with my first son. I gained 60 lbs with him!!! So, I was still about 20 lbs away from pre-pregnancy weight when I got pregnant with this little guy here and unfortunately, because of the gestational diabetes... I had to go back on the what?
You guessed it, the South Beach Diet. (I had to watch my carbs and sugars) Sadly, I've only gained 7lbs this pregnancy, but the doctor says it's fine, he's getting all of my nutrients and he's growing healthy, I just had some excess weight from the previous pregnancy.
So... the lesson here? Cut out your carbs and sugars.
And I'll send you my 16 month old to chase after.
