• UPDATE

  The hardest thing for me is my husband. I want to steer away from carbs (pasta, bread, etc) and he loves that stuff. I love pasta, but I am going to try eating lots of fruit and veggies. My "diet" plan is:

  1)Drink ONLY water or tea. (Coffee in the morning - one cup only)

  2)Snack on fruit/veggies.

  3)Eat a full bowl of fiber cereal in the morning.

  4)If I get hungry at night, before bed, I will eat an apple or yogurt.

  Here are some things you can try:

  - Put yogurt in the freezer. Then you have "frozen yogurt" and you eat it slower. AND it tastes so good.

  - Breakfast: Spread some Peanut butter on a tortilla and roll a banana in it. It tastes pretty good.

  - If you like lunch meat and would rather eat a sandwich at least twice a week, get lean meats and use ketchup to substitute for mayo.

   

  Anyone else got any tips, recipes, and health info? feel free to post ;]

• I think that is a wonderful idea. I need the motivation and working with a group such as this so us girls can track our losses is a great start. I need to weigh myself, something I hate to do but I am about 178 and at least want to get down to 155. This last 20 pounds have been such a challege. Let us know what day you want to try to weigh in.

• Lets try to weigh in next Friday girls. (We can put lbs lost, or current weight and your new weight) If we lose at least 1 to 2 lbs. we will be on a good start.

• be careful what fruits you are snacking on some are better than a=others the tart ones are always better. If you go to GNC they have a section of energy boosting vitamins just for women i take a packett of those everyday and they really do help and before you go to bed drink green tea a goodsnack is almonds

• Hi my name is Nicole and I am trying to lose the baby weight too. I have 14 lbs to go to get to where I was pre-pregnancy but I wanted to lose weight even then so 20lbs would be great! I'm 5'11" and currently weigh 189.

  I am cutting out most carbs and exercising on my hour lunch break.

  For Breakfast I have a protein drink that is very high in protein and low in sugar. Then for a snack I have a hard boiled egg or string cheese.

  For Lunch I usually make a salad with grilled chicken or make a sandwich with the new 100 calorie whole wheat bread things that just came out, mustard only and turkey and a slice of cheese and lettuce.

  For Dinner I love fish and a Vege, but I switch it up, can't have fish every night. I have chicken and pork and occationally red meat. But I always have just the meat and vege's. No Carbs. I make my husband rice or potatos to go along with dinner but I don't eat it, sometimes I sneak a bite so I don't feel completely deprived.

  I have been doing this for 3 weeks so far and have lost 6 lbs but I wasn't exercising everyday so now I'm trying to step it up.

• Yes, a good snack is almonds. I almost forgot about those. I like to get the mix with dark choc., cranberries, almonds, and raisins. Thanks for the tip. I love green tea. I take a multivitamin, I want to start taking omega-3 as well.
