    Thanks everyone!

    Some things I learned that did it:

    You don't have to give up your favorite foods. You can eat WHATEVER YOU WANT TO as long as you are willing to invest time in the kitchen preparing it yourself from fresh ingredients, substituting where necessary. I see a lot of people saying they had to give up pasta. I eat pasta for dinner practically _every_ night, and not a small portion either. It's whole grain pasta though and I prepare the sauce myself using fresh vegetables. I eat cheeseburgers made from 93% lean beef for lunch _every_ day with whole grain buns and reduced fat cheese. You don't have to give up your favorite foods. The only thing you have to GIVE UP when it comes to foods is having someone else make or prepare it for you. Be willing to cook your own meals from scratch using fresh ingredients and the sky is the limit as far as your dietary options go.

    That is just a spectacular transformation! Very awesome and inspirational. Thanks also for posting your tips about food substitutions and I love that you have allowed yourself to eat your favorite foods as long as you make it yourself. That's a great tip! I have found that when I'm in the kitchen doing it myself, I seem to always want to default to the healthier option anyway...so much better when I do the calorie count after my home-cooked versions of things. When I was going out a lot and eating restaurant food, it was way high in fat AND salt and I would ALWAYS underestimate the calories in what I was throwing down my gullet even if I was picking what I thought to be the "healthier" options that some of these restaurants were making :D
