Hello, I eat 3 meals a day, and a couple snacks throughout the day. My day starts early, my first break at lunch is usually around 9:30, lunch around 1pm, then a late dinner around 7:30,and a snack. If I'm off work I tend to snack more, but I let my appetite be my guide. If I'm not hungry I'll skip a meal....but only if…

I think it was during week 2 for me. I felt exhausted, lightheaded and had bad cramps in my calves. I started drinking chicken broth, pickle juice and purchased some magnesium and potassium supplements.

Mmmmm sounds delicious!!

That sounds like a good plan! I think eliminating the pseudo foods will definitely make a difference.mthe only pseudo food I've tried so far was zero pasta, it looks like pasta, but doesn't taste like it. So I decided to leave it alone, it doesn't do anything for me, except remind me of how much it doesn't tast like the…

We give out T-shirts with the flu vaccine at my job, last year I got a 3xl, that I thought ran small. Yesterday I was able to get a large, and it fit perfect!!

@GaleHawkins .... Love it!

I tried a really good roasted Brocolli recipe from Pinterest, and it was really easy to make. I cut the florets off of 2 bunches of Brocolli, cut up for garlic cloves, 4 tbls of olive oil, salt, pepper and mix all together and add to a baking dish. Turn oven on 350 and bake until Brocolli has a roasted appearance. When you…

My sleep pattern has changed also. I have no problem falling asleep, but can't stay asleep. I wake up all through the night, and have to force myself back to sleep, and sometimes that doesn't work so I end up watching tv until I have to go to work (5am sometimes). I googled it and also read about the changes in insulin…

@MimiOfTheLusciousLawn ....what an amazing transformation!! Congrats on your success!!

@Lillith32 ... It was pretty good, that was my 1st time making it, next time I'll try adding some different seasonings.

I think it makes it a little crispier....

I'm able to wrap a bath towel around myself now, not a beach towel...a bath towel!

@smuller73 ....congrats!!! That's a great feeling to try on clothes, and have them be too big, instead of too small!!!

@auntstephie321 ..... I love fried chicken too, you don't have to give it up. You can fry your chicken naked, like Buffalo a Wild Wings. I season my chicken with garlic powder, seasoning salt, pepper and parsley, crack an egg over the chicken and mix it all together, meanwhile the oil is getting hot in a pan big enough to…

Hello, I've lost a total of 102lbs so far. I started a low cal diet in November 2014 and changed to low carb mid February. I love the low carb lifestyle because I never feel deprived. I stay under 20 grams of carbs a day, and work out 4 times a week. One piece of advice I can give you is to have low carb foods/ snacks…

My before and during pic for Transfomation Tuesday...

No longer hide from the camera, or hated to see how I look in pics.

I went through the same thing. I was so happy when I lost 89, I couldn't wait to get to my goal, but my weight loss came to a stand still. I was stuck for 7 weeks! I would gain 5, lose 5, but never pass the 89 lb mark. I didn't give up, but kept trying different things to break my stahl. It seemed like nothing I tried…

Detroit, Michigan!

Down 102 from first photo, not really a big change in face....
