Losing weight or maintaining your present weight sometimes seems like a huge challenge. It doesn’t have to be. Many people who are able to maintain their weight basically follow six healthy habits.

1) Eat lots of fiber.

You can get fiber in your life by eating fruits, berries, beans, and many vegetables. Check food labels and do a little research to learn what foods are high in fiber.

Fiber gives you a feeling of being full and it helps regulate you.

After the Baby: Where Did Your Get Up Go?

No sooner have you birthed your new little bundle, but there’s someone hollering in your ear to get off your duff and walk, walk, walk. Those are the same people who proffered advice during your pregnancy about eating right, not eating too much, and the need to continue exercising until the day you check yourself into the hospital. As far as I can tell, those people have never had morning sickness around the clock for four–yes, four–months! When the only things that would push the nausea back down to a bare-able queasiness for a little while were heaps of mashed potatoes (the dehydrated version work the best, by the way) and the saltiest saltines you could wrap your chubby, little, toxemic fingers around. Nor have they felt the back pressure and overall discomfort that comes at about 6.5 months.
