I am a mom to a very busy 11 month old! I have completely fallen off the wagon with weight loss and I am ready to get back on track! I have little motivation and I could really use some friends to help keep me accountable! Also, any advice on preparing meals for the whole family?

    I have a three year old and still haven't lost the baby weight! But in terms of family meals I find ones with lots of components work well - so say you have sausage and mash, I'll have less mash, more veg than my husband, but son usually has lots of mash and gravy etc. cottage pies are always popular - again, more veg for me.

    Hey there, I'm in a similar position. My son is almost 16 months old and I've lost and regained about 5 pounds a few times since he was born. I need to lose about 100lb though, and with the new year, I'm reasserting myself as an active, vibrant woman, wife and mama. For family meals, I find it really helpful to make a big pot of something and freeze portions. It's great for when you've had a crazy and do not want to cook, or work out calories etc. It's already there, set to go and you don't need to measure anything out! A good one I use is making spaghetti bolognese from scratch with crushed tomatoes and grating a heap of vegetables into it, along with the lean beef. Also, I try to make sure I always have some eggs, and a form of meat in the freezer - makes it easier to get a nutritious meal together when you're busy or the day has gotten away from you.

    Freezing things is a great idea! And online shopping saves me from having many an unhealthy thing in the house. Also from dragging a 3 yo round the supermarket, lol!
