My family and I are going to Hawaii a year from now and I have about 50 pounds to lose as I want this to be my main motivation as I've tried dieting for the longest time and failed. Currently I'm 5'7 and 200lbs, 29 yrs old. I carry all my weight in my thighs and lower stomach area (front and back) I was told 150 is good for my height. Is that true?? My main problem is I work 9-5, I'm a single Mom so I go with convenience, it's so hard to cook for 2 and stay healthy but reasonable for my daughter and I. I need recipes too. (websites are helpful if you know any good ones for small meals) I've already changed from sodas and juices to only water (Yeah me!! lol) I can't seem to find time to work out either as my daughter is in athletic programs that occupy my evenings. Please help with any suggestions, recommendations, etc. :) Thanks!!

I've lost 50 pounds in this last year. Mainly, I switched from soda to water, increased my water every day to about four 16 oz bottles per day, and cut almost all carbs and sugars from my diet. I'm also a single mom, and I know it's hard to change your own diet when you're responsible for another, but it won't hurt her to cut down on sugar and carbs, either. Cook meat and vegetables for dinner, and eat eggs and bacon for breakfast. It's not that hard, you can even cook omelettes the night before, and just warm them up the next morning.
I was told to walk 30 minutes a day, four times a week. I didn't do that much, but I did start walking a little as often as I could. If you're at a soccer game, walk around the field. Park as far away from the gym as you can and walk in. Make a few minutes for yourself in the evenings, and walk around the neighborhood! You can do it!
50 pounds is a very reasonable goal for a year - just keep your thoughts on your goal, and remember that the chocolate cake will still taste as good a year from now - probably even better! And picture yourself on the beach in Hawaii - in a little bitty bikini!! Have fun!
