Wife, Mama, Country Girl, Student...just trying to get by. I worked my ass off(literally) to lose all my baby weight after my third son was born and I did it...the problem is that after maintaining it for two years, I gained it all back and then some. Really, really kicking myself, and finally ready to get up and do something about it. Skinny jeans, here I come!!

Weird (American?) Food
Town's here just aren't built where things are in a reasonable walking distance.

Confused, low calorie, low carb??
I like to buy the Lean Cuisine, (or whatever brand), meals. I just stock up when there's coupons. It makes tracking the calories, ect. easier because they're all in the system here. Works well, as long as I don't snack on whatever I cook for the family. I eat family meals, when it's something healthy. When I'm at my goal weight and starting maintenance, I want to be able to eat normal meals, just modified. I don't want to be a yo-yo, I want to maintain it this time. I don't believe in diets, but instead think it's healthier to eat a well-balanced diet that meets your needs. Just keep tracking and be honest.

Obesity rates still rising in the US

I think a lot of it has to do with how the people were raised.

If the parents are eating junk... then the kids will eat junk too and the cycle continues.


I agree. My kids always get served everything I cook, whether they eat it or not. We do eat junk food, but my kids don't just sit around playing video games either, they play outside a lot. Novel concept, I know. The one thing I don't do is force my kids to "clean their plates", cause I know I still have problems stopping when I'm full since my parents lived by that. I have that, "there are starving children in Ethiopia" complex. Laughing I think sedentary lifestyles account for our obesity rates more than food choices. We just don't burn it off like we did 50 or 100 years ago, but the way we eat hasn't caught up.

Ummm...even if you have to eat cheap, crap food, that doesn't mean you have to gorge yourself on it. My husband hates the meat I'm buying lately, cause we're so broke. (I spend $80 the other day to feed my family of 5, 4 of whom are boys, for 2 weeks.) None of my kids have ever been anywhere near overweight, and my husband and I aren't that bad off, even though we don't eat all organic, good-for-you stuff. What we eat in carbs, we burn off working, especially my boys. I think it's ignorance and self-pity that keeps people in poverty fat. I don't mean it in a bad way. They may know have all the knowledge about calories and such, or have been taught healthy ways to prepare the cheap food. Also, eating makes you feel good when everything else is going wrong. It's something you can control. I grew up poor too, but my mom just didn't buy junk and she was an inventive cook, so we we're never bored with what she came up with. In America it's not a choice between starve or eat healthy, and to say otherwise is pure ignorance. We don't starve here...if you're that broke, you get on food stamps, you just don't always get to eat what you prefer.
