Definitely in the same boat here! Between lockdown, general life stress and moving in with my partner the lbs have just piled on. I'm 5'5'', currently 158lbs 😨 I've previously quite comfortably sat around the 144 lb mark with out a lot of effort so this is a bit of a shock and I'm heavier than I have ever been. My initial…

Im a big fan of the no cook lunch too, I think like others have said meal prep ahead is the best way, also means you have a ready prepped healthy meal and dont reach for an easier unhealthy alternative. My faves are: Baby tomato and pesto pasta Couscous/quinoa/bulgar wheat with veg and dressing Butter beans, cannellini…
