So I started attending meetings of a popular weight-loss program in the fall, to finally lose that last bit of post-baby weight (does it matter that my “babies” are school-age now?). I’m sticking to the program and it’s working. But quite interestingly, our family budget is shaping up along with me!

Why? Turns out that a lot of the strategies for successful weight loss can also be applied to your finances. But maybe you already knew that.
