Flat out had pizza crusts but their regular wraps work too. Part skim mozzarella, turkey pepperoni, and bacon bits!

You've done awesome. Are there other things you can look to besides the scale to see you are still making progress? Measurements shrinking, clothes fitting better, more energy for those kids?

Do you eat eggs and dairy? Both of those can have lots of protein. What about beans?

You can add me too. My primary goal is 50 pounds, but after that maybe another 30. I log every day and friends can read my diary.

I cook nearly every day! I should really take more photos of it and find a place to post them so I have a place to remember what I made and liked the best.

You know, if I need to improve my mood, it is more about the process of self care or going to the farmers market, cooking, eating quietly or with people I care about, and trying something creative and fun that make the difference.... I will feel just as good after shopping for and making a fancy ahi tuna noodle salad just…

All frozen, but can be done in 3 minutes at home for your preference to grab and go... Kashi frozen waffles (put some nut butter and bananas between them for a sandwich) frozen steel cut oatmeal bowls frozen Jimmy Dean D-light bowls Amy's breakfast burritos You can also throw together nut butter and fruit tortilla wraps on…

You can at least make the effort to invite them and see. Maybe like you there are one or two who just figure they have to do those things alone or not at all because the group won't go along. Make it about the fun of the activity, not "losing weight" and you may find there are some friends who want to join a softball team,…

I am stealing this idea!

Green salad with turkey pepperoni and olives. Half of a ham and cheese on sourdough.

If you need snacks with low carbs and sugars to change your ratio, be very aware with those bars, dairy, shakes, etc. They may be high in protein, but many are also high in the stuff you don't want. an antipasto - cold cuts, salami, pepperoni, olives, pickles, roasted peppers hard boiled eggs celery with…

I like the idea of prepping in advance. make the rice, pasta, grain portion in bulk, then prechop your veggies and fruits. Add canned beans, eggs, and/or cheese in any combination with seasonings and you could have a variety of cold salads, frittatas, stir fry, veggie chili, and sautees. But if you don't cook a lot that…

I break up my lunch into lunch #1 and lunch #2 every work day and it helps me keep from becoming overly hungry. I generally bring a small serving of leftovers or soup or a sandwich for the first round and a salad for the second. Today lunch 1 is half a ham sandwich, celery, and carrots. Lunch 2 is a salad of mixed greens,…

I like a chocolate covered frozen banana. I make mine with just 1/2 the banana each so they are small.

They make light juices now from V8 and ocean spray that have 5-50 calories per 8 oz. I think they have artificial sweeteners.

Maybe try getting a veggie that is either smaller or you can eat multiple different ways so you aren't bored... A zucchini, little head of broccoli, or a bell pepper can be eaten raw and dipped, sautéed, grilled and covered in salsa, tossed in with pasta and a sauce, or added to a stir fry and they don't go bad the second…

Bars don't feel like breakfast to me or fill me up. When I'm crunched for time there are frozen steel cut oatmeal bowls, Jimmy Dean D-light bowls, and Amy's breakfast burritos that all get the job done in a couple of minutes for the same or fewer calories that a bar has.

Salmon filets Pork loin chops Bagged salad bell peppers steel cut oats eggs almond milk Shake n Bake - no, not kidding!

Two kashi blueberry waffles, one egg, coffee with unsweetened almond milk

I'll be making my own snacks! Baked ranch chicken tenders with buffalo sauce to dip, oven fries, carrots, and celery.

Sugar free jello. Fiber One 90 calorie brownies and lemon bars.

I use frozen breakfasts, specifically the Jimmy Dean Delights bowls, Amy's breakfast burritos, and various oatmeal/fruit bowls.

Me too, me too. Been tracking for a month and coming along well. Friends can see my diary.

Hi! I think you will find you aren't alone eating emotionally. I always say that if I can't talk about my feelings, I want to yell about them. If I can't yell about them I will eat them! So for me talking is the only way to keep myself from that kind of eating. I've lost just a few pounds. Looking to lose 50. Friend me if…

I'm just getting started with My Fitness Pal as well. I've lost a few pounds so far. I'm 247 now and need to get to 190. I'm looking for all the help and support I can get as well!

If you enjoy beans, try black beans. Black bean soup, homemade black bean burgers, salad with peppers, the beans, and corn.... Meat can be reasonably priced especially if you re only going to use a little. Chicken drumsticks (remove the skin), cube steaks, and ground turkey are all lean and very low cost in my area. If you…
