My first question would be, are you on prednisone? That can make weight loss nearly impossible.
Next, get yourself a crock pot and a crock pot cook book. My fav is "The Vegetarian Slow Cooker." When you have a little energy, chop some veggies and put them in plastic bags. Later, when you can must a little more energy, put the stuff in the pot. Make large quantities and freeze to eat later.
I have SLE, live alone and work. I eat a lot of home made soups that I make in quantity and then freeze and a lot of salads and stir fries.
Omelettes with Eggbeaters are very healthy. Add some veggies and fat free cheese, maybe top it with salsa. Fast and healthy!

I would recommend you ask the doctor about side effects of the medications just to make sure it is not causing you to gain weight.Steroids if you are on them i am sure you need them but they can have as side effects weight gain.But word of caution dont get off of those medication with out doctor knowing if could be daugerous.If that does not apply i would try atkins diet or E-DIET.COM where you can go on line a chart your progress.i also dont like to cook a long time because of my work schedule.so in the morning wheat cereal with skin milk is good.for lunch salad i would put lean hamburger in the microwave with white cheese,add lettuce salad dressing and you are done.same thing for dinner soup are easy also for snack nuts are good.that is so easy.make sure you take a good multivitamin.Also i heard garlic is good for cholesterol so you can add that to your salad.also cinnamon is suppose to be good for lower sugar,try for breakfast 1 slice of wheat or diet bread lightly butter add splenda with cinnamin and turkey sausage also easy.berries are also low in sugar.Keep up the exercise regardless of what weight loss sometimes take a while.but look at dieting as a challenge to yourself make it interesting.dance,dance,dance that will make you fill good while diet you dont want to fill restricted but with anything in life self control is needed.Hope this help i trying to lose weight and it can be hard.but i do good when i make menu i enjoy.I like atkins so much because you can eat more and dont have to count calories just carbs.

well something i areally like is cabbage with tomatoe sauce and you can put in hamberger (10 percent less fat) and put in lots of s pices even little hot stuff spcies. its great and easy to eat. i love potaoe tacos(egg and potatoe). you can eat simeple things if you like hamberger but not sure if you do or if you like cabbage. its the amount. i did eat brocoli, colif flower and noodles with soy sauce and lost tons of weight and at alot of it. you just have to be careful. the lupus makes you very tired. try have a very good vitamin to help that. cooking with spcies is great. there are some that are mixed with hot but a little bit does good. bu y basil, garlic(put on all meat) and there is onion powder start using stuff like thta on meats instread of salt. i am not sure what you like tis hard to tell what i can tell you to eat. take care.

i know how you feel about being tired cooking and cleaning up, i have 5 major diseases right now….including diabetes and leukaemia.
best thing anyone told me about was a book by peter j d’adamo "diabetes fight it with the blood type diet" made a huge difference, i lost 50lbs…in four months, and felt great. so ask your doc what your blood type is, then go for it! tells you what to eat and what to cut out, really works well.
i often cook extra and freeze it so i can heat it up for a meal later on…and a crock pot is fab, cooks for about four hours and very nutritious, throw everything in in the morning, ready later on! dont eat commercial frozen dinners, full of addatives and real nasty stuff like preservatives etc..
