  • Double check the Thyroid, mine was always on the "low normal" until I found a Dr who decided "low normal" was an average indicator and based on symptoms, it meant I was low. Thyroid supplements changed my whole life. Are you getting enough sleep? Lots of conditions sap energy and women tend to get put in the "it is in your…

  • This would be hard for me since I get up at 5 to get out the door by 6 to be at work on time and I shower the night before. But, I do plan my clothes the night before, my husband usually makes my lunch and leaves it in the fridge, so I only have to dress, accessorize and makeup, pack the lunch, kiss the cats (hubby is…

  • Good Luck! I brown bag my lunch every day. Saves about $50 a week, and I control portion and content. You have goals, and, you have a plan to get there.

  • Good Luck. I'm finding that just keeping track is helping me a lot! I didn't realize how many empty calories I consumed until I started tracking them! Now my husband and I are tracking everything, looking at ways to make recipes more interesting, walking together...We haven't been at it long, but both of us have dropped a…

  • Sometimes I'm amazed at how few calories I eat, but you have an extra concern as you are nursing, you need to ensure that you are getting enough protien and fats, and I don't see that, for the baby. Perhaps there are tips on nursing Mom websites? Good luck!
