Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
I started the LE loosely after the new year. I completely cut out snacking throughout the day. The thought of no snacking was actually harder than not snacking at all. When April approached I went strictly vegetarian. My first meal was at noon sometimes later. (I liked to let myself feel hungry) I'd eat dinner around 5pm. There were days I would squeeze a third meal in just depending on how I was feeling. I drank at 3-4 cups of coffee throughout the morning to curb my appetite. Here and there I also drank anything diet or Coke Zero. Every night I drank a few nice size glasses a red wine to end my day.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
24 weeks
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
Yes
Did DH change his diet with you?
Yes
Comments regarding DH's diet-
DH did eat way more healthier leading up to our attempt. 3 months leading up to our attempt DH was away for work. He was attending a course for promotion advancement. It included physical fitness training where he was doing more cardio than he normally does. He normally does cardio workouts 3-4 times a week but these work outs were longer and more intense. They were also 4-5 times a week. His diet consisted of more vegetables during the week. He would eat a light breakfast, or none at all. Lunch and dinner were smaller portions than he would normally eat. He would also have 2-3 servings more of vegetables than he normally eats.

WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
I didn't want to obsess over numbers on the scale...
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
I'm still breast feeding D3, and this time around, my body would not let go of those last few pounds I would normally drop post-partum. I do remember around O realizing I lost a good 10-12 pounds. For exercise I walked most days with my kiddos.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I feel great about the diet. It was completely different from the way I ate before. I also feel great about my attempt.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Even though I did notice the weight loss around O. I feel I relaxed a teeny tiny bit on the diet, but not enough to beat myself up about it. I wish I could have done more exercise on my part. I went for walks with my kiddos and I can only hope it was enough.
Things worth mentioning:
At the end of all this I can only let go, and let God :)
