How I Lost 50 Pounds Postpartum
I've Lost 50 Pounds in 5 Months After Having a Baby — Here's How I Did It

We all know that time is precious. I quickly learned that this feeling increases tenfold — if not a hundred fold — when you become a parent and are now responsible for caring for a tiny human around the clock. During those early days, it was so easy to reach for whatever food was available in the cabinet or freezer. Thankfully, I had prepped a lot of healthy freezer meals during my nine months of pregnancy, but after those ran out, last-minute pizza orders became a little too common.
For me, I've found that prepping as many meals as possible during the weekend really helps me to stay mindful of my food choices. Even if I don't have time to meal prep, I make a point to at least plan a menu for the week and determine when I'll have time to run to the grocery store. When I have a plan in place, I'm much less likely to stray from it by ordering out or boiling whatever box of pasta we have in the cabinet.
