I haven't been very faithful with following EFS. I don't know why but it just seems harder for me to do than the regular FS. I've cheated several times and decided to kind of go back to the regular FS. Although, I'm not following that 100% either. I just get to the point where I'm sick of always worrying about what I'm eating or how much exercise I've done or NOT done or what I look like. I read a magazine article one time where this woman said, "I'd rather be 5 or 10 lbs heavier and enjoy my food than constantly worry about what I'm eating and miss out on all the really good food". I know I go back and forth with that. I agree with it and then a couple days later I want to lose the weight. lol Plus, my husband and I are going to start trying to have another baby next month.
As far as working out.... well, I haven't worked out at all but I've been doing A LOT of work around the house. I painted our master bedroom on Friday, Saturday AND Sunday. The reason it took so long is b/c I painted a light color over a dark blue color. So, it took 2 coats of paint. Then, on Monday evening I helped my husband paint the garage (including the ceiling) which took us 2 or 3 hours to do. Yesterday, I cleaned out our guest bedroom and the closet. I did A LOT of heavy lifting. I even rearranged the furniture by myself. So, I'm pretty sure I haven't had to worry about actually going to the gym or doing a video b/c all of that work has made me sweat. Today, I'll be cleaning the whole house again (my work day). Plus, I have to go to the grocery store. I'm not too worried though. I did lose another lb and only have 4 more to go to reach my goal. :)

4 more...that is awesome!!! I know exactly how you feel about wanting the foods you want....my hubby had some tater tots last night and I couldn't help myself, I had to have one....it is so hard, but the way I look at it is if you are following the portion control side of it you will be just great! You are doing a great job and have nothing to worry about...being happy is what matters!!!!

You do what you gotta do and whatever works for you, always following a regime gets stressful. I have just been eating healthy and most of the things are foods on the diet but I am not eating them in order. As long as you are making good choices and exercising I think we will all be ok. You are so close you should be proud of yourself.

Oh my goodness, I had just that conversation with my husband a couple of days ago! I told him I know I have the ability to get down to a crazy lean self but I really lack the desire to restrict myself that much and then maintain it. I hardly think I would be laying on my death bed with 6 pack abs saying "It was worth eating chicken and egg whites my whole life instead of enjoying life!" My goal is to get comfortable in my own skin and be okay with a little extra cushion. I love good food and it isn't worth it to me to give it up:)
Congrats on the loss so far and being so cloe to your goal, and the baby news:)
