Re: Need a buddy!!Help me!! I am a very over weight mom.. Help with my diet and routi

Good.. some suggestions..

Avoid bread and cheese for breakfast the rest of the things you mentioned are fine.

Take light snacks in the evening marie biscuits are fine.. try to avoid cream biscuits, jam.. for sugar you can reduce it to half spoon for coffee/tea.

Have early dinner and around 11 if you feel hungry eat fruits.. no other food.

For exercise, increase all you said to 20 min each.. dont sleep in the afternoon with your kid, just lie down make her sleep and out of the bed..after 2 hrs of eating you can do some more exercises this time like light yoga and abs maybe.. by this definitely you will reduce gradually..

Make small realistic changes and stick to it. Weight loss will happen over a period of time. First change your habits and stick to a healthy eating and workout pattern.

You might be falling asleep in the afternoon because you are not sleeping in the night at correct time. Your hubby's job timings are different but you should not spoil your health. Love yourself first. Health should be top most priority with a kid around. You have a small baby to be taken care of and you should aim for your health first. Rice might be a must at your home but you cook something different for yourself. I switched from rice to cracked wheat initially when I found it hard to cook seperately for myself. This will show some change in your weight definitely. Also introduce oats for dinner. There are many recipes in chitvish column as well as youtube.

Also after lunch @ 1pm you are not eating anything in between till 6.30pm but having wrong foods at that time. Try to eat some light snack like murmura or handful of nuts with light tea. Your dinner time @ 11pm is also not good. Change that.

Change one habit at a time and stick to it for 2-3 weeks and then see the difference.

15mins of mild exercise is not enought for your body. You should sweat. The workout pattern should be warmup, pickup and resting with stretching at the end. Think of investing in an elliptical if possible.

Come back to forum everyday till you see the difference. You will find many buddies here. Do not waste your money on costly weight loss programs. Dedication is very important in this long journey which you will find from friends here.

27mom, stop buying these fried stuff. I have stopped buying sugary stuff, fried chips etc. I still have candies at home, but I asked my husband to keep them in a place where I can't reach. When my kids need it, they climb up and get it. Out of sight, it will be out of mind. I always feel like eating something sweet after lunch, so I eat grapes now. Try joining one of the threads here and read them every day.nyou will get motivated. Good luck!
