For me, and I only had a little to lose- it was more about residual fluid retention and general wobblyness- I had to be conscious about what I ate because I realised I'd been eating poorly out of feeling overwhelmed and fatigued. Instead of a salad sandwich or salad with protein I wasn't eating lunch at all (still a bit of an issue now) and was hungrily grazing on biscuits, snack type foods in odd moments but throughout the day because I was hungry but exhausted. And I started walking everywhere too. If it was walkable, even if a long walk, I chose to walk with the pram. To the supermarket, to DD's child health check ups and immunisation appointments, even just a lap of the park. I should add that weight loss has never been a big issue fur me, but like all of us I'd had a baby so things were not as they once were!
