Healthy food -healthy girl!

I recently lost 40 pounds thanks to Weight Watchers and a new found love of healthy eating habits! I am hoping to offer support to those on a weight loss journey as well as compare notes and share discoveries with those who are at maintenance.

I'd be interested to see your food and fitness trackers shared, and some blogs with what has worked for you as well. I don't mean to be too defensive, but it's hard to put myself out there to be advised by those that aren't as open about their tools and techniques. I'm not judging, just genuinely interested because I can't tell which plan(s?) you follow to maintain just by looking at which teams you belong to. I know you referenced Weight Watchers in your summary - do you still track points? Did you upgrade to the new plan where fruits/veggies are "free"? I see you're on the vegan team, so if you are vegan I imagine it would be tough to hit your points minimum since fruit/veg are free.

Because I've been struggling to lose this weight since July. I jumped 3 lbs up in September with no binges in that month. I was eating and exercising the same, but I added store bought bread to my diet. I gained 3 lbs in that same month, and that was the only thing I had changed in my diet. Before that, I was making my own whole wheat home-made bread.

Before I removed gluten from my diet, I was gaining weight and exercising 30-60 minutes a day on the same amount of calories. I have a damaged metabolism due to a lifetime of morbid obesity and yo-yo dieting. If I go over 1,100 calories a day.... I rapidly gain weight. I didn't want to jump on the "gluten-free diet" bandwagon, but removing the sources of it from my diet is helping me shed water weight and reducing the uncomfortable bloated feeling. I haven't changed my calorie or carb intake, just removed the 2 gluten-sources in my diet. But I've replaced them with similar options that contain around the same calories.
