What are you doing to lose weight?

I'm officially 100lbs heavier than I was before I had kids   I look and feel disgusting and need to do something, but I feel so lost.

I dont have a lot of time to work out with 3 kids and an SO, so I need a routine that is either broken up throughout the day or doesnt take forever. As for eating, I used to be on Weight Watchers and did well with it, but I was eating a lot of frozen, processed foods and Id like to avoid that this time.

Suggestions? Share your secrets!

Pumping, portion control, walking and playing Dance, Dance Revolution 1&2. As soon as I get the ok at my six week appointment, I'll be doing a lot more cardio and some weight lifting to get my arms back.

I just started walking 30 mins a day because I was almost completely inactive and I've lost 5 lbs so far. Also, I still eat the same things I used to I just eat a lot less of it.

perfect, thank you!

A lot of cardio. I love running. I run 4 miles every other day and eat a healthy well balanced diet or 1200 calorie diet set up by my nutritionist. Exercise is important. I lost 58lbs after DS was born, I also did p90x.

I eat 1200 calories a day, and do 30 min of cardio or swimming daily. I've lost over 30lbs and I'm back to a size 4 after 4 months.

Can you give me a sample day's menu? That is going to be my hardest thing I think...I have no idea what to eat haha

For breakfast I have 2 egg whites (smothered in hot sauce lol) and some kind of fruit (mostly melon). For morning snack I eat 100 calories of fat free cottage cheese with a raw veggie (cucumber and orange bell pepper are my favorites). For lunch I have steamed veggies (3/4 of my plate) with lemon and garlic salt (no butter) and a lean protein (baked tofu or a bocca patty with no bun) and brown rice. Afternoon snack is almost always soy beans, or hummus and veggies. For dinner it's about the same as lunch, but with a larger portion of protein, and I add a fat free dairy product to it. I eat no refined sugar, no white bread, I try to not eat bread at all really.

Check this out, I am so happy I came across this!

That definitely sounds like something I can do!

Eating Clean
Exercising 5-6 times a week with 30-45 minutes a day

Trying my hardest to stay away from the sweets (I have a SERIOUS sweet tooth)
