Hi Webb,
I am new too 3 fatchicks too. I wanted let you know you are not alone.
I am on the purple plan i just started june 3 and down 8.5 lbs right now .. i am sooo very excited.
i think i have to credit that to LAWL.. i am the kind of person that has to be accountable.. if i tell someone i will do something...I will do it.. i told them i will lose 50+ lbs and I WILL.
like you i have children.. twin boys 3 1/2 to be exact. I know what you mean you start eating the wrong way .. they can eat the higher fat foods because they run around all day and what i mean by "higher fat" is chicken nuggets , mac and cheese... now i know eventually i will be able to eat a portion of that again but not right now.
I have asked my husband until i get going on the plan ... if he wouldn't mind helping prepare the boys meals so i can work on preparing our meals. he has agreed... but i have been doing them both.. habit i guess tee hee.
I will say you have to get creative... and like alot of different fruits and veggies. there is a great recipe i got off the "Reynold Wrap" website for their Hot bags... they are chicken fajitas and they are WONDERFUL... everything in the recipe is on the plan and tasty too. also i like the canned tiny shrimp i put that on my salad for my protein.
well i am babbling... but i wanted to let you know i know how you feel with kids ...i got way off track ... but i am on my way back to my track ... so we will just run paralell from here on out... they will eat their foods and i will have mine... i have to or i will never be ME again. :-)
your not alone!!!
