Weight Loss Challenge with a prize......Nov sign up
#111
I'm in! I want to start a healthy diet before my husband (hopefully) lets me join weight watchers in January.
Anyone have/had issues with cooking for a thin spouse and a growing toddler while trying to lose weight? This is my battle! I need them to gain weight and me to lose, all while making good food they will eat.
Also I love baking and am trying to make all of my baking recipes more healthy.
P.S. My most expensive medical bill is to Dr.Pepper. I cannot get rid of this guy!!! I've tried even the diet kinda blach!

It isn't that ( If I really know would I have to lose 40 more pounds?) Anyway if you are making mashed potatoes before you mash them with butter and milk take your portion (MEASURE IT) out of the pot and just lightly salt them. If you eat family style and and have veggies in bowls on the table don't put butter on them let who wants butter put it on their veggies. That is how I started. I lost 24 lb so far. As for desserts make plain stuff like baked apples and then add to theirs with ice cream or whipped cream. You can bake and eat it too you just have to learn how to do it.

Halloween candy is usually a huge problem too. This year I had the kids count theirs so I wouldn't be able to sneak it :)

How old are the kids????? Do they like milk shakes. I am sure you don't know about me or DD but last year she went down to 80 lbs from 120. This was inside of 3 months. She needed her 3rd surgery to repair her head/face and fractured skull. Her head injury and meds she was taking made her so sick she couldn't eat. I had to have her gain weight for her to also heal. The doc had her on insure and she would gag. At the beginning her life was on the line I HAD to listen to the doc but when she was so frail I took matters into my own hands. Within a week she gained 5 lbs and started feeling well enough so that she was able to have her next surgery. This is what I did.
3 times a day I made her a shake this is the recipe.....she likes strawberry. I got powdered milk and for each 8 oz of refrigeratored milk I added what would be 2 servings of powdered milk minus the water. She was getting 3 servings for every 1 serving. I would use strawberry syrup and put it all in the blender. At 3 servings per day the calories from that along was 1200 or more depending on how much strawberry syrup was added. If your kids have to gain weight try that. It saved my DD from having to have a feeding tube put in her. Now her weight is back to normal and she recovers better after surgery then she did before and she also heals better. Thank God because she is looking at at least 2-3 more surgeries in the next year.
