Hi Sammy! Ive been on the app about 12 days so far and its been awesome for me so far! Add me if you like and I will help encourage you

thanks everyone! Looking forward to this and encouraging others along the way!

Hello everyone- Im new to MFP about 10 days now. 3 weeks ago I weighed 350 lbs, joined the YMCA, completely overhauled my kitchen and pantry with nothing but whole, organic food. Today I weigh 343 and my wish for 12 weeks would be at least 25 more lbs. My goal weight at the end of my journey will be 158.

roasted cauliflower is awesome with a bit of Malt Vinegar and if you have a dehydrator you can make cauliflower "popcorn"

ooo I love my George foreman for grilled veggies like thick zuccini slices, onion, portabella mushrooms and of course grilled cheese made with a spinach wrap instead of bread- with mozarella and tomato YUM!!!

Hi!! Im new here too and only 2 weeks in and have over 100lbs to lose- I was 350 when I started this app and now 344- joined the YMCA and am having a blast in the pool most of all! The very first week was the hardest but now since switching to a Clean Foods lifestyle I dont have any cravings and my appetite is wayyy…

that is awesome!!! I cant wait till I get under 300- I think I will buy myself some new jewelry or better yet have my Hubbs buy me some LOL

wonderful story!! Someone posted above about fat people being unhappy- but in my case I am pretty happy- when I started this app 2 weeks ago I was 350 lbs and today Im 344- I have a long way to go but the only thing that ever made me unhappy was when I started to get out of breath doing certain things- The lightbulb…

wow Gash- thats a brilliant idea for a wrap- did you dehydrate the tomato into a leather?

chicken breast, a small baked potato with homeade sour cream and homeade butter and a leafy salad with carrots and celery and organic Italian dressing

You can even make a chicken chili with white beans and jalepeno peppers Or make a stew with a whole chicken, celery, parsnips, radishes, mushrooms- add sage, turmeric, onion powder and chicken broth and 1 1/2 C of this is only 368 cal

our go to recipe is always a homeade crockpot chili or stew with no potatoes. We have a large family size crockpot and add 1/2 lb ground chuck 1 16oz package red kidney beans (soaked overnight) 1 16 oz can organic crushed tomatoes (no sugar) 1 16 oz can tomato sauce (no sugar) 2 cloves garlic 1/2 onion and 1/2 green pepper…

thank you everyone

hello everyone! Its wonderful to see everyone on their way to health like me and hear all of the stories! Thank you for taking the time to encourage and share! I am excited about being a part of this community.

Hi KiHei Not even my husband knows!! I joined the YMCA about 2 weeks ago and have been going nearly every day. The huge pool there is my favorite and is easy on the joints!

Thank you! Yes it is mental as well as physical- I truly believe that

Very cool- I would love to share on Instagram too.

Thank you everyone
