I'd really like to lose 15-20lb. I'm 9 mo pp and I'm so over the frump! I just can't seem to get on track. I've had success in the past counting calories or doing weight watchers but I can't seem to get in the habit again. It seems like such a chore! What id really like is somethkng super easy like nutrisystem or a meal delivery service but it's not in the budget right now. Once I did a whole 30 and felt awesome but I dont have time for all the preparation right now. I'm still breastfeeding so I'm hungry! Any ideas for me?

Start small-cut the processed foods and prep something healthy a few days a week. Drink water instead of other stuff if you don't already
I've had the most success when I counted macros, lifted weights, and did cardio but it's certainly a lot of work

Easiest changes are to stop drinking your calories and to just get out and walk several times a week.
Start small. I find that if I do a huge change upfront, it's less likely to stick. For me, I like to get into an exercise groove first and then slowly improve my diet.

Weight watchers is the only thing that's worked for me. Even when I try to eat clean, I end up eating too much and gain weight :-/. No experience with the meal services, but it might be worth a shot. Agree with others that starting small with good changes, but keeping consistent seems to be the long term key (at least for me!)

@gotkimchi: For the past couple months, I have simply written down everything I eat in a small notebook. I have probably lost 10 lbs this way. I found I was less likely to eat food I didn't need if I had to write it down. I also write down the calories but I don't limit them (that makes me want to eat more.) Some days, I eat 1,400 and some days, I eat 2,000...but I am cutting down on mindless snacking this way. I also record how food makes me feel or if I shouldn't have eaten so much of something. Really small commitment and it has worked for me!

@simplyfelicity: that sounds interesting I will try this!

@gotkimchi: I bought something like these to record in. Fits perfectly in a pocket or purse.
