so my obgyn dr told me i needed to lose weight at least 20 lbs then continues with next month...…

portion control is a big part of it... you should eat until you are full not stuffed, and try to hold to the recommended portion size... good luck

I believe in you! my SO got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and went from 250 to 205lbs in 2 months.... we did low carb and walked a mile (2 blocks roughly ) a day. I lost all my pregnancy weight doing it, and i had gained a little over 50lbs. I'm 4 months pp now.... even if your family doesn't eat healthy, you still have a choice in what you eat (:

@toooldforthis81, thanks.

@shaeewow3.29.15 really??? omg i need to do that then

@kattastrophe thank you so much!! gives me hope!!! i seriously though it was impossible... and yes here they eat lots of flour tortillas bread sodas ect. junk food. and they keep saying its ok a little wont hurt but i want to try and focus if the dr said it and it will be a risk in the long run i need to try.

my parents raised me eating a lot of processed foods like ramen noodles and TV dinners and soda. when I was like 16, I found out that I could get by with good food for cheap. the store was only a mile or two away and an apple, a banana, and a string cheese was under $1.... it really helped when I started drinking half a gallon of water daily too! (:

@kattastrophe, same here fast foods chips ect. so i need to step up

@ezaja, you can do anything you put your mind to! if you have to, you could give yourself one cheat day a week, like say every sunday, if you've done well, you can have a soda and some chips.... or something like that. makes it a bit easier for some people(:

@kattastrophe, oh ok. awsome. yea im trying to look for recipes right now
