Hi all! My name is Nancy and I have struggled with my weight all my life. I haver over 100lbs to lose and I hope that this go at it I will stick to my guns.

I would say my biggest pit fall is dieting on a budget. I am a mother of 3 and so I prepare all the families meals. Unfortunatley, my income has gone down significantly this year do this down turn in the economy, so i don't have extra cash to buy alot of the diet foods i need. This makes my struggle alot harder. What i do is try an make sensible meals for my family and I portion control.


I welcome an suggestions.

Best wishes
Nancy =)

    Welcome nancy!

    I have 11 month and 3 weeks till i am 40 and aiming for the same as you, fit by 40.

    I have two kids and cook for a family too. My tips are veggies and lots of em, use a local butcher and avoid processed expensive foods at all cost. Your pasta dish is far better than shop bought. I have also found cooking half as much as i used to works as well. We used to eat two plates of food and throw out food the kids wasted. Cutting back really works for the budget and the belly.
    I am half way to my target 46lbs lost already.

    Hi my name is Sandra and I will be 40 this year. I used to be very thin, well lets call it skinny, groing up and since I had my kids I have been watching my weight I need to loose at least 20 lbs. My weight has platoed and I cant stand it I feel lost and discouraged not to be able to loose weight something I thought I did not ever had to worry about. I am not expecting myself to look in the mirror and look as if I was 20 years old I just want to loose 20 lbs and people dont seem to understand how hard it is for me to loose weight. I have gained over 60 pound since I had my kids and I wanted to gain weight but it got out of control!!! Any advice Please!!!!
