    The research on cholesterol is contradictory. Some say that added cholesterol from food can elevate cholesterol levels and some say otherwise. If you really want to enjoy your eggs and not get as much cholesterol, just eat the whites as the cholesterol is all in the yolk. Or you can do like I do and keep it to no more than 4 yolks a week. (Thats from the head cardiologist where I did my internship in cardiac rehab.) As for avocado, the majority of the fat in it is monounsaturated fats, which are the healthy fats that reduce heart disease risk. So, eat up. ;-)

    Eggs without yolks are for meringue.

    Everyone will be different and brands also runs differently for sizing. I went from a size 14 jean to a current size 4, with a 58ish pound loss. I'm also pear sized, so most of my 'cushion' is on my lower half :p

    Started in October 2012, hit my original goal weight in April of 2013, with a 43lb loss at that point/wearing size 6s. Since then I've lost another 15ish pounds and wear a size 4 jean comfortably. I can fit in size 2s though if I wanted to, but as a 36 yr old mom of 3 kids, I'm really not into the skin-tight jean look lol. I do wear size 2 shorts and skirts though :)

    What are deviled eggs?

    in my world they are boiled eggs cut in half with the yolk taken out mixed with mayo/mustard salt/pepper and maybe some chopped onions and then put back into the boiled egg white...pretty tasty as a snack or to take to a party.

    Mmmm, love deviled eggs. In my world the yolk is mixed with the mayo and mustard then some dill pickle relish and just a tiny splash of apple cider vinegar and you sprinkle paprika on top after putting the yolk mix back in the whites.
