My goal now is 165/170 lbs, which still seems a heavy to me, but I care more about how I feel and look, than what the scale says. So, when I get there, I may go more. For now, I would love to be at 165/170, which is the weight I was when I met my hubby!

Great job! You should be super proud of yourself! Very handsome!

On my way home, I literally pass just about every single one of my favorite restaurants - Moe's, Panera, Mellow Mushroom and La Nop (Mexican Food). Everytime I pass them without stopping, I consider it a small victory. Also, ordering water when we go out to eat and eating something healthy. And when I am at work and there…

My "official" weigh in is Saturday. I also tend to weigh myself on Tuesday or Wednesday just to see if I am on the right track.

I work your normal M-F 8-5 schedule and have a 4 year old and a 7 month old at home. By time I pick up both kids (currently they both stay at different day cars), it's pushing 6/6:15pm. By time we do dinner, baths, homework and all that other stuff, it's nearing about 8 or so. During the week, my husband is not home, so I…

Thanks for all the suggestions!

The fruit pizza sounds good, I don't know how healthy it would be, but still sounds good and not as bad as other alternatives!

Considering almost of them are bringing "unhealthy" ones, I don't think anyone is going to be disappointed. If they don't want to eat it, they don't have to. I deserve a tasty dessert too, without using all of my daily calories!

congrats! these are my favorite posts. it's nice to see the change rather than just hear about it! really gives you motivation!

I am lucky that I have never been too big on holiday food. I always got made fun of as a kid, because my Thanksgiving plate had turkey, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce. We aren't doing a traditional Thanksgiving this year, because hubby will not be here. We are going to visit him, but won't be having a traditional…

Sure, I am in too. I am kicking myself for not taking before pictures from the side and front dressed. Not to be gross, but I took them in a bra and underwear and am not posting them here. I wouldn't do that to anymore! But I do have some pictures of me from Halloween (2 days after I started my diet) that I could use!

uh, that sounds amazing!

congrats! you look awesome!

Thanks again for all the input. Going to try Tilapia this weekend and then maybe try something else on the thread. :)

I could eat a lot of gold fish that you are talking about!

I think I will start with Tilapia, since you all mentioned it, thanks everyone!

In the past, whenever I messed up, I used that as an excuse to give up. For example, if I splurged at breakfast, I just figured the whole day should be a bust. This time around, I don't think that way. We all mess up, just start over! And don't be so hard on yourself!

With the exception of a surprise bottle of wine from the hubby, I have no drank any alcohol and don't plan on it. I told my hubby until I make it to my half way point, I am not having any alcohol, so no more surprises!

Jacksonville, FL here!

Cook Yourself Thin is a book I have been using. It doesn't really have a grocery list or meal plan, but it breaks it down into each meal, so I have been grabbing recipes from each section. There is also a WW book that is called "Take Out Tonight." It's one of my favorites, because it has healthy recipes by different food…

I was able to drink two glasses of wine last weekend, but I have the open calories. That is the only time I have drank. I don't think (at this point anyways) I will drink if I can't afford the calories.

I like posts like this! They are my favorite! Always nice to see the change and know it can be done! Congrats, you look great!

I'm 32 and also trying to lose weight! I have had an issue with my weight since my teens. This time I am determined for it to work! Good luck!

I get an hour lunch, so I generally eat first, which takes about 20 minutes or so, and then I walk. I work for a law office in a courthouse, so if the weather is bad, I just walk up and down the halls. If the weather is nice, I head outside. I try to get at least 20 minutes in, at least 3 times a week. I actually just got…

I am in too. Friend request sent. My goal was 10 lbs by Christmas. I started on 10/29 at 224 and am down to 219.8 as of 11/12, so I think I can totally do it! My goal was on the lower side due to recent foot surgery and being limited on what exercise I can do. :) Good luck!

If I am eating a later meal, I try make it a lighter meal, without a lot of carbs. Basically, I try not to sit down at 7pm and eat a big bowl of spaghetti, instead maybe some green beans and grilled chicken. I don't know if there is a "rule," but that has seemed to work for me in the past. I also have a hectic schedule and…

Awesome! You look great!

Hey, I just learned about the notification button, so I just found all of your responses. Sorry! Thanks for everyone's input. Will definitely try some of them!

I have put tomatoes, pineapple and a little ham (not all at the same time!)

I also do the snack size candy at work to avoid going to the snack machine or getting too crazy. If someone does bring something, I either politely decline and get the heck away from it or have a small helping. I feel ya on someone always bringing something into work. It happens here too! Stay strong!
