Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Time on diet, increased exercise, no snacking
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I did occasionally eat meat and towards the ends was eating breakfast some days and had to quit exercise for a month or two
Things worth mentioning:
I'm just glad I gave this a try to even slightly tip the odds in my favor. I have also never lost weight so effectively and will probably use the same diet to lose weight post partum!
