Hi Mandi!
To answer your question, I basically just counted my calories and worked out atleast 6 days a week. I try to keep my calories at around 1200 to 1400 a day, rotating each day to keep up my metabolism so I do not hit any plateaus. I personally tried to go low carb for about 2 weeks, but it caused my blood sugar to drop dramtically. So, I went to see a nutritionist and she recommended that I start low in calories (no less than 1200, ever) and no higher than 1600. So far it has worked wonders for me. I still eat my goodies but only one recommended serving (gotta measure it!) Just like a diabetic, they are still allowed to eat it, but they just cannot have as much and within moderation. Hey, it is sorta funny we were both diagnosed four years ago, and we both have about 40 more pounds to lose! I too want a baby, but I want to be the healthiest me that I can be first and foremost. Heck, we deserve it! But, whatever you decide to do, I wish you all the luck, and I am here if you ever need to vent.
Debbie
