  • Oh man do I know what you mean!! I find that what helps me stay on track (and these days I'm a SAHM - so there's always STUFF around!) is to prepare food in the morning. Like when preparing breakfast, many times I'll cut up a bunch of vegies so there's a bunch lying on the counter during the day. And I'll peel and cut up a…

  • Can you break up your meal and eat part of it as a late afternoon snack? EG if you're gonna have a soup or a rice pilaf maybe bring it in a thermos / Tupperware and microwave it at work at around 5pm. Like this you're not starving by the time you sit down to dinner, and also you're eating less of a heavy meal late at night.

  • I bought a container of whole, roasted with salt (sorry, can't eat them any other way;) almonds, and before putting it away I separated it into baggies by 1oz portions.

  • I'm a bit confused. This is my newie-ness showing, I guess, but why is it bad if the milk comes from fat stores? Doesn't that help you lose wweight and be healthier? My baby is 6mo and still EBF. I'd like to keep on that as long as she'll let me;) Any advice welcome!

  • Hi, all! I'm 33, SAHM to 6 kids aged 13 years to 6 months. I've started to get serious about cooking and eating healthy, but that means I spend tons more time in the kitchen. Haven't yet figured out how to make time for a regular workout. But I'm trying! I started at 208 and want to get down to 150. I'm here for the…

  • I just joined, and I *toally* get you! I suppose I have only myself to blame, cuz I'm the one who does the cooking, but what am I supposed to do, stop baking challah? And who wants broccoli for a side when there's kugel and farfel available? Then there's the cake.... At least I don't like chulent!
