in Introduce Yourself
Female 38 years old trying to get back to the weight I was a couple years ago... I need to loose 30 lbs fast and keep it off... Any help or encouragement will be gladly appreciated. Any meals to feed four people to help keep my calorie count at 1200 cal a day. I would love to read and try. My husband is also trying to loose weight as well. We have a gym membership to anytime fitness now. I have been going for two weeks now. I can't wait to see some physical results...

    just curious ... why do you need to lose 30 pounds fast? Sometimes healthy weight loss to keep it off takes some time and patience.

    Welcome aboard. But losing weight "fast" isnt usually either possible, healthy, or sustainable.

    I have found some really tasty family-friendly (i.e.-men, kid-friendly) recipes on skinnytaste.com.

    One that I've made 3 weeks in a row, ever since I found it, is Sicilian Rice Ball Casserole. Servings are really generous (1/8th of a 9x13 Pyrex, so roughly a serving is 4.5" by 3,25", and about 3" high, and its ricey and meaty and cheesy.

    I doctor it a bit w/ my homemade marinara, more turkey meat, and sausage, but Its kind of addictive and filling and I've lost 10 lbs in 3 wks eating it 4 nights a week with a salad. And I'm stuffed afterwards:bigsmile: Good luck!
