I am a little over 5'. My goal is somewhere in the 120s. 120 would be great, but I won't know until I get closer to my goal. I started this weightloss journey at 215 lbs. My first goal was to get to 135. once I get there I will decide how much more I want to lose. My ultimate goal is to just be a healthy and active mom…

I would say eat more. 13lbs in one month is amazing. But generally weight loss (especially if you did a complete lifestyle overhaul) will slow after the initial loss period and will become more of a steady 1-2 lbs a week or less. I have found that even my increasing my calories for a week or so (you may gain a poundish)…

I make baked oatmeal for that very reason. I fill it with yummy goodies like almonds, diced apples and pears, currants, flax meal...etc. google some recipes. You can bake it in jumbo muffin tins for perfect portions and then freeze extras.

If you do the shopping just quit buying the stuff you don't want in the house. Buy all gluten free pastas, forget about bread, etc. luckily I do the shopping and the cooking. My husband is gluten free, I am mostly gluten free and we limit our kids. It is a tough hait to change. My FIL has celiacs and my husband likely does…

I would try coconut palm sugar in place of sugar, honey or agave in place of syrup, choose your nuts wisely and maybe mix them up a bit, instead of butter use coconut oil. The best I can tell you, when making sweet treats there aren't many ways to reduce calories, but there are plenty of ways to make your calories count.…

I'm in. I like a good challenge.

Thanks, y'all!
