Sarah- It depends on what your goals were when you started BFL.

If it was to get in better shape and lose weight to get to a level your comfortable with, then definetly cut back.

If your goal was to get into super physical shape, such as a fitness model, then stick to it.

The BFL exercises are very intense, and the program does require some level of comitment. My vote would be instead of pushing yourself to the extream, continue with a moderate exercise plan. Continue to weight lift as you have time, and make sure to include activity into your daily life such as walking, stairs, and playing with kids.

Remember exercising is about much more then weight. There are many health benifits. Heart health is improved, circulation and mobility is increased, cardio health is overall better, and so on.

Stick to the pilates and maybe add yoga for strength, stanima, flexability, posture, and centering. Do light cardio such as a brisk walk, hiking and so on. Don't make exercising a hassle, instead keep it fun and something you look forward to.
