Hi everyone - I've been LC for a couple months now and have lost 25 lbs! Not a huge amount but a very noticeable difference on my small frame. Always looking for tips, restaurant recs, recipes, etc. Drop a line!

Thank you everyone for being so supportive! I'm frustrated because I'm stalling and have been at 130 for a couple weeks now... I'm not giving up though! 20 more lbs to go!

Here's my other "challenge" if you will: I work and go to school, both full time so my time is rather limited. I end up leaving around 7:45 am and get home around 10:30 pm. Also, I live in the city and don't have a car so grocery shopping is limited to what I can fit into my backpack or bike basket for the 2 mile journey to the store.

What this all means is that I try to be good about cooking and freezing on the weekends, but since I can't buy large quantities of food at at time I usually run out mid-week or so and end up buying lunch/dinner for the 2nd half of the week.

Help! Any suggestions?

See if there's a grocery store in your area that delivers. It's definitely worth the $15 or whatever they charge.
