I recently lost about 7 pounds after quitting the birth control pill. I am ALWAYS a bit heavier on it!
I eat raw vegan cereal with strawberries DRY for breakfast with my acidophalus drink and cod liver oil. During the week, I eat mostly raw vegan with some fish, rice etc. on weekends. I work out at the gym between 3 and 4 times a week and hike 6 days a week with my dogs. I LOVE hiking...I avoid exercise that I hate ...that is how I keep it up.
I am really starting to look very tight and firm. I now weigh 128lbs on a good day and am almost 5 foot 6.
I would love to be 120 but am realizing that to do this, you have to really cut out ALL salt and most treats which I am not prepared to do!
I think that one CAN keep youthful, fit and healthy if it's part of your life, like you mention. The hiking is the secret weapon for me as the dogs need it and I see it also as a spiritual experience.
I also just KNEW that quitting the pill would shed me of a few unwanted pounds too and indeed, that is what happened! I just turned 39 and I'll be damned if I let anything stop me from staying fit and firm!
And my 11 year old dog thanks me for it too with her trim waist after all those hikes and nothing but raw meat and veggies!
