The editors of Clean Eating magazine have put out a book called the Best of Clean Eating -- I have it on my Xmas list!

On Sundays, I'll make a frittata using whatever I have in the fridge and slice it up so that I have a slice for breakfast during the week. Saute any veggies you have on hand in an oven-safe pan, I usually have mushrooms, zucchini, onion and sometimes I'll add spinach or broccoli or cubed sweet potatoes if I have to get rid…

Hey there! I just joined Booty Camp (www.bootycampfitness.com) which is a Women-only boot camp. There are about 16 women of all shapes and sizes and fitness levels and it's fantastic. The classes are an hour-long twice a week, plus you have to commit to working out at least one other day a week on your own or with a buddy…

HI! I'm looking to lose around 40 pounds post-baby and joined a couple of months ago and recently renewed my committee to weight loss and exercise. I was trying to exercise on my own, but I found it helpful to sign up for a bootcamp in order to get into the habit of doing something, plus I find I workout harder in a class…

WEIGHT THIS WEEK: 169.5 :( only lost half a pound AIM FOR NEXT NEXT WEEK: 168 FULL WEEK W/O CHOCOLATE? Yes, except last night I did have a Reese's Mini Peanut Butter cup. Why did I fail? I'm not sure. Peanut butter cups are my favourite and when my husband passed me one, I just ate it without thinking. I stopped at one…

Hey Challengers -- I'm excited about the weigh-in as well. I hope that I'm down. I made the mistake of trying on a pair of pre-pregnancy pants and it didn't go well. Looking forward to the challenge on Wednesday!

Hi there, I'm exclusively breastfeeding as well. My little girl is 9 weeks old today. My doctor suggested that I add an additional 300-500 calories daily while breastfeeding. I did have a mastitis infection when she was just over 3 weeks old and the resulting fever caused my milk supply to drop. Since I've gotten it back…

I hear you on the "I'll do anything" refrain. When I was younger I told myself that eating very few calories was the way to lose the weight. Unfortunately, after losing a few pounds initially, all that happened was that I totally screwed up my metabolism. You definitely have to eat more to lose more. Just looking at your…

Hi All, I'm new to this site and am breastfeeding and pumping. My daughter is 6 weeks old and I'm just started to exercise again this week. I gained about 27 pounds during the pregnancy and had about 10 or 15 pounds that I didn't need before I got pregnant. I've lost some of the baby weight but it certainly isn't "falling…

Hey ChubbiWhubbi, Thanks and I'd love the link. I had a little girl as well and I know how you feel b/c at 4 weeks I was ready to start doing something, but I ended up delivering by c-section and even though I felt fine, I knew I had to take it easy for another couple of weeks. I'm just glad my doctor didn't make me wait 8…

Hi, I'm a first time mom as well and got my 6-week clearance from the doctor yesterday. I'm breastfeeding and pumping and I'm supposed to eat around 1900 calories a day -- but the site says I won't lose weight with that calorie count. Is there a link for breastfeeding moms or FAQs as to how to customize your goals for…
