hi Debby-
welcome.

I can relate to the baby weight. I have 2 kids (now in their 20s) and lost all my weight after the first, and lost NO weight after the second. I weighed the same after having him as I did pregnant! I kept telling the md that something was wrong- and I was basically ignored. Knowing what I know now, I think I became insulin resistant during that pregnancy and that the way I ate- lots of carbs- was toxic. It took me until my DS was 15 to find this WOL- so you are way ahead of me!!
I lost all of my weight on CALP. I love not weighing or measuring my food- I am not detail oriented so this works for me. And I cook one dinner- with extra carbs for everyone else. It works for us.
Glad you are here!
