  • I do a ton of soups. Making one or two huge batches usually keeps me set for 2 weeks (freeze 2nd week's). If you get bored with same things make smaller or multiple batches. So easy to pack because all you do is pull it out of the fridge.

  • I haven't read all of these posts, so forgive me if I am repeating what someone else has said. I see a nutritionist weekly, and she has told me over and over that nuts are good even though they are high in calories. She cites a study where there was 2 groups of people in the study.

  • You can do it! I have 80 lbs to lose in the same time. If you are sore maybe start with yoga? There are a few beginner yoga DVDs I have liked.
