Sorry to hear this. What kind of foods do you like, can your husband cook too? For us, I make Sheppard’s pie with grated carrots, peas and corn. It keeps well and is filling. Lasagnas. Meatballs in large batches keep very well, just simmer in a sauce while the noodles cook and you can add all sorts of fresh veggies once…

As everyone has said, make sure you're logging correctly. Snacks can add up. Drink tons of water, like 3Ls a day if you can, this will help flush things out even if you have to go pee every 10 mins. It also makes you less hungry as some hunger pangs are actually thirst pangs. Being female,have you may also be retaining…

Truly amazing! I don't know how you do it with 3 young kids. I've only lost weight and kept it off if I exercise as well. 3 years ago, i was 10lbs heavier than I am now. I lost weight by going to the gym and eating well. Even after having a baby, i was still 20 lbs lighter than my heaviest. But since starting back at work,…

Thanks. I generally get a salad, so maybe it's the dressing. Again for me, regardless of eating out or in is portion control. At home, I've been weighing my food and if i'm still hungry i'll fill up on salad with just balsamic vinegar to keep within cals. Maybe I need a scale while out? Not a good option considering i'd…

Pls add me as well. Thx!

The problem with the snack after daycare is that she doesn’t eat dinner at all afterwards. Even if it’s just a little clementine. My daughter has a window and just refuses food after her window. She’s always been a bad eater. I’ve asked hubby to make her food before we get home and that has helped but sometimes he’s out…

Oh, reducing food waste is another way to save tons of money. That cheese about to go off? Make mac & cheese (and freeze)! have leftover cooked beans? make a burrito bowl or rice and beans or add to a minestrone, or freeze it! I freeze hardy vegetables that freeze well when I don't have time to cook with it like broccoli…

I'm in Canada too, and yes, food is expensive. I shop for 3 of us including a toddler who needs more expensive items and on 1.5 incomes right now as hubby's business is slow. Not to mention paying daycare which is astronomical, so i totally get the crunch. I know this seems counter intuitive to pay the $55 membership, but…

me too!

Thank you for this. That must have been so tough! It’s been a lot more manageable lately since work has slowed down and I’m hot working 12 hours a day. I’ve been prepping my lunch and breakfasts for work and made a few l easy meals for the week. Hoping to get walks In during my lunch to hit my 10k step target. I know it’s…

I need to lose 40lbs. I love all types of cuisine. My favs are Italian, Japanese and Thai though. I love cooking and really need to tone down the carbs. Lately I’ve been just subbing my pasta/noodles with zucchini noodles and my rice with greens. This is helping me keep somewhat within my 1200 calories. I also find it…

I’m just over 5’0 and weigh 164 lbs. I’m at my heaviest and trying to set a good example for my daughter. Please feel free to add me.

All great tips! Thank you. I know my answers are excuses so please forgive me. We eat out because I literally only have 2 hours a day with my child which includes dinner and bedtime. I try to make dinner but she’s already hungry when we get home after work. She will not eat after 5:45 and by the time we get home from…

Our Y is $70/month and about 5 miles away. I had a membership before when I was home with the baby, but it’s just a timing issue now. I do love the Y though.

I’m in Toronto, Canada and food is obnoxiously expensive. In fact we go to New York sometimes just to get cheap food and shop. The eating out is out of necessity sometimes. Although I know that’s an excuse for not prepping properly. I work until 4:30 by the time I pick my kid up at 5:30, she is starving and crying. So we…

Omg where? I’m in Canada. The memberships are like $70/month and childcare is $8 an hour at the gym!

Congrats! Just found out I'm 7 weeks long as well! So excited but worried because of my weight. I was just starting to get a hang of things in the exercise department when we found out. I'm short, so even at a size 8, I'm considered borderline obese. I'm 25 lbs from my goal weight as it is...So far, I've been eating ok.…

December means a lot of holiday parties. Not only does this mean lots of super indulgent comfort food, it also means less time to workout properly. Only 2 days in and I'm finding it hard NOT to gorge on Holiday treats -carrot sticks just don't cut it when there's butter tart bars and cheesecake. Had my first of many…

I'm in as well! Quick question for all those on 1200 calories, do you eat your workout calories? or stick to the 1200 pre-workout calories? I was told to eat my workout calories as well, but seem to be losing weight SUPER slowly -like 2 lbs a month!

I've been going through the same thing. I'd do great during the week with food and working out, but come the weekends with girls nights, dinner parties, weddings, family events etc, I gain everything I've lost back. What's helped me finally stay in check is more frequent weigh ins. I weigh myself first thing in the…

I agree with SideSteel. I could easily eat an entire family size bag of chips in front of the TV, but guess what? If they're not in the house, I don't have them! The issue with chips is starting the bag in the first place. I do look at them longingly when I pass the chip aisle, but I have definitely reduced my intake by…

Good luck Kristen! I'm in the same boat minus the baby (unless you count the hubby). ;) Let me know if you have tips on will power. My weakness is pizza and red wine.
