edited November 28 in Getting Started
Just getting started in the new year. Not the heaviest of my life but not the lightest. My goals are to lose 10 lbs in 6 week or by the end of February then another 10 lbs in the 2nd 6 weeks or by April 15th - tax day. I need to get back to 5 days a week early morning workbouts. Looking for a simple diet plan to follow. I am a busy working Mom and need something simple and we'll spelled out for me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Maggie. I am trying to wean myself off sugar. Not much for cakes pie and the like but I love me some chocolate. Yikes. How are you doing?

    Purchase the 21-Day fix portion cups. They really work and easy to follow.

    You might try www.eatthismuch.com, too. You type in your calorie limit, and it gives back recipes for 3 meals a day, with a shopping list. Couldn't be simpler. Or HelloHealthy.com, which sends you groceries and a set of recipes.

    i don't follow any specific plan. i am working on intuitive/mindful eating, which means simply paying attention to my body's signals and not eating or drinking when i am satisfied. I am as active as my body will let me. i don't deny myself any foods or drinks, i just stop consuming them when my body says it's had enough. it is working for me so far, more in i feel better than i am losing weight.

    my diet is everything I ate before just smaller more appropriate portions. Just weigh your food on a food scale. No need to go away from my sugar or buy cups for portions when you can just get a scale and weigh your food.
