+1 you live in the woods? Take hikes ffs.

OP let me guess you’re imagining I live in rock creek park haha no, I mean the bushes fallen trees ticks everywhere no trails wild animals kind of a forest. We do go hiking but I work, a lot.

How about clearing and blazing your own trail through your woods? A late summer/ fall project. By the time you've sawed, shovelled, hauled, bordered, etc, you'll be down 20 lbs and have amazing muscle tone.

OP not sure when kids are up at 6 and go to sleep at 8 - I clean cook prep after they sleep and then work more and then …just sleep. I can’t go outside bc of wild animals like bears and the dark woods. I don’t have the money or space for a big workout item like treadmill (small 2 bedroom home). I don’t know any other exercise but walking running biking and not sure my yoga mat and some YouTube will make a difference…? I guess I should say I can’t just go to a gym or “take a walk” at lunch.

Um...your little house is literally right in the middle of the woods surrounded by bears? Are you Laura Ingalls Wilder?

OP I don’t know who that is but we moved to a plus acre property in upstate New York / CT so yes, bears are an almost nightly occurrence, no sidewalks, surrounded by forests (I meant what I said, our Ring camera catches them passing or trying to eat our trash…wild turkeys and bobcats too…and it’s pitch black when it gets dark).

Do you drive your child to kindergarten? Park and put your toddler in a stroller and go for a walk while your older child is at school. Also check out Little House on the Prairie books, everyone should know who Laura Ingalls is.

dp. Those books were mostly great, excepting the racism and Pa's impulsivity and narcissism.

I would focus on buying some clothes that fit you well in your new body.

Sure, you can crash diet to try to look better for an interview, but that's not maintainable. And it's bad for your health.

Lots of sautéed veggies and big salad as your first course for each meal. Follow it with protein with lots of herbs and spices.

1/2 hour before your lunch and dinner, mix 1/4 tsp of INULIN (not Insulin. Inulin is a tasteless, odorless fiber that is a prebiotic) in a glass of water and drink it.

Yoga is fine. I would say that you should walk 3000 steps immediately after each meal in your own house.

Drink a lot of lemon water throughout the day. It curbs appetite.

3000 steps is pretty hard to get indoors unless you have a treadmill. That's a LOT of circles in most people's small houses, most people don't have the patience for that.

Yeah 3000 steps is over a mile. A mile for me is about 2500 steps. Go outside and walk 3000, sure, but walking a mile IN your house is more tedious and difficult than it might seem.

1) Make sure your trash is secured, there is no outside food available (animal food, bird feeders).
2) Make noise when you go outside. Black bears do NOT want to tangle with you, and if you are making noise, they will go the other way.
3) I'd be more worried about getting hit by a car with no sidewalks than attacked by a bear.

Go to the library, start with Little House in the Big Woods, and read the series to your kid.

Less than 30? I'm a relatively low-carb eater but under 30g is extremely difficult to do, not to mention unnecessary. Fruit and veggies alone have carbs - just one apple is 25-30 grams. Also with being that low-carb you invite other issues like constipation. Don't do it OP.

Then read Louise Erdrich’s The Birchbark House for the Native American answer.

- get a jump rope
- get some dumb bells
- get a yoga mat
- run around your house
- go up and down stairs
- stop eating heavy loaded carbs
- drink water
- make protein shakes (they'll make you feel full)

How fast did you gain the weight? I would definitely see a doctor if it was faster than you’d expect out of your eating.
