Lots of
I actually wish that was the case. 45lbs is based off of medical advice. My own (perfectionist) personal goal, would to be 75lbs lighter than what I am (I'm not a small girl...).

For once, I will be more than happy to not be a perfectionist!

I also have to get my A1C to 5.7 or below. I don't even want to know what it is currently at with the way my diet has been the last 3 months.

And all these health goals has to be natural (i.e. no pills, fad diets, etc.) Actually, the only diet I'm allowed to follow is the South Beach Diet. Otherwise, it's simply eating healthy. I have to be able to maintain my health while pregnant.

And honestly, what's required of me is not that difficult. I'm alloted 45g of carbs for each of my 3 meals and 15g for each of my 3 snacks. And for exercise, I only have to walk for 10mins after every meal (20mins would be optimal). Btw, in case anyone is curious, there's about 15g in one slice of whole wheat bread or 1/3 cup of rice.

It's very doable. I just have to get past this anxiety and depression so I stop emotionally eating.
