Ok, my boyfriend and I are planning to get married soon. We have been going out for about 5 years and we have been living together for almost 2 years now. We love each other very much but we also have several practical considerations that makes it more financially beneficial for us to be married. He is from Honduras and has been living here for 15 years (he's not illegal - he has a work permit) and needs to have his status adjusted to get a green card. This is going to cost $4000 this year but in the long run it will mean that he can stay, work, pay taxes and become a citizen in 3 years. Then we can both work about 15 more years here and then get both get social security retirement benefits and live in a comfort in his house in Honduras where American dollars go much farther.

Here's where the challenge is going to be. We need to save up $4000 as fast as possible. I believe we can pay in chuncks, maybe a little at a time but we need to find a way to make cheap healthy meals while still losing weight. And maybe some other suggestions for saving up $3000 in the shortest period of time.

Also, this doesn't have anything to do with weight loss but if anyone knows the best/cheapest way for two people to get to Honduras give me a heads up.

Is no one interested in low calorie, cheap foods and how to save money eating? No one?

Pinky Green I am very interested, however i have not been sleeved yet so im just at the beginning of my journey so im not any help to you :{

Well, I'm approved for eating anything low calorie except nuts, seeds and popcorn. Anyone know any cheap low calorie recipes or meals - not necessarily specific to being sleeved? Anyone can think back onto any good cheap meals or recipes that they ate on Weight Watcher's or another diet?

Check out theworldaccordingtoeggface.com

I'm familiar a bit with that site and it is low calorie, but I didn't think it was particularly focused on low cost.

You just have to watch ad papers and buy cheap when it's on sale. Make big meals and freeze.

I agree!! Buy meat in bulk-cook it very plainly and then freeze. When you reheat you can doctor it up with spices or sauces.

Shrimp and scallops are my go to foods. I buy big bags at Costco
