I have to second most of this post, because my thoughts were much the same. The only difference is that when your partner has a problem with insecurity (as yours may or may not), even though that is his problem to fix, it is still your problem with which to be aware and consider. As a sometime-poster/frequent-lurker, I…

One of the yummiest juice drinks I've ever had was a combination of beet, carrot, ginger, lemon and apple. I had it at the beginning of this summer (at an adorable little restaurant in Cape May), about a week or two after I began changing the way I eat and joined MFP. I didn't order it for any kind of "detox" reason or…

Fantastic!

I read through some of the Success Stories, or I try on some clothes that I kept as goals—it's so exciting when they fit!

Thank you for sharing! Congrats on the success so far!

While reading this, my first thought was that it comes across professional and sensible. However, I also thought that this reply is made by someone who is making his living by treating those who are suffering with obesity, and perhaps that is why I also had a sense that all of his counter-points seem (to me) to suggest an…

Well said!

Best wishes to you!

@Merkavar Ooooh, drat, I don't think I can find that here in the US...I'm going to have to see if I can find an equivalent. Thank you!

Are you making the Moroccan lentils "from scratch," or is this a pre-packaged mix type of thing? (And if so, if you don't mind, what is it? This sounds so good!)

My hubby stops at a special shop to buy fresh produce for me every week. He is not a fan of most veggies & fruit, so I know he does this just for me. He has been encouraging me ever since I began making changes, and he has been trying to make some changes, too. And he gets almost as excited about my little victories as I…

@tiffkittyw In addition to ellerist's helpful explanation, if your digital scale has varying units of measure (usually just a button that you can push to cycle through), then I'd recommend measuring in grams rather than ounces, particularly with foods such as nuts and seeds (but everything, really.) It is far more…

October 2015? Get back in the Delorean, Doc! Seriously, though--congrats, looking great!

Hi Shylady! I'm still kickin' around here, haha! Had a much slower week, I didn't get enough exercise at all, but still had a loss of 1.6 lbs, so that's okay. Weigh-in this morning was 149.6, gotta get back on track with activity this week, for sure! Have a great week! ♥

Wow! Congrats to all of you with fantastic first weeks! My week was decent, I'm down 1.4 lbs from last week. :) First time I'm below 150 in a decade. And back into size 8 jeans! I'm about midway through to my ultimate goal, now, and I find my patience waning a bit, but that is why I love challenges like this, it helps a…

I love this! Adding in little increments usually does feel like it adds up surprisingly fast, imo. This approach has been working great for me, too. I find that the more active I become over time, the more I really want to be active, and then it feels like a necessity and desire, instead of a chore.

My favorite one is "Amy's Organic Sonoma Veggie Burger." I've noticed a few chain restaurants that sell a veggie burger use the "Boca" brand. I need to unlazy and try making my own, there are so many recipes.

I'm spending a lot less, but I don't buy most produce at the grocery store. Instead, I visit shops that exclusively sell produce, where prices are substantially lower and quantities higher. I've had to learn how to not over-buy, and better ways to store stuff. It took me a couple of weeks to get a handle on that. Overall,…

Okay, that is just awesome.

My usual salad is just sliced carrots, chopped tomatoes, sliced & peeled cucumbers, chopped bell pepper, a few black pitted olives, a few torn up romaine leaves, a bunch of fresh parsley, salt, pepper and a splash or two of apple cider vinegar. Then I shake that all up and let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours. So…

Hello, fellow Halloweenies! (Does that sound wrong? :s ) It's September, yay!!! Still determined to hit my Halloween goal. :)

Well. This is the cutest thing I've read all day. (Actually, the Rubik's cube part is pretty cute, too!) I have this happen all the time, too. For me it is probably a lot easier to handle, I just bundle in a little-old-lady shawl if I'm at home. But when I'm anywhere else, I just move around a few minutes/stretch/do…

Really fantastic, congrats! And thank you for the inspiration. :)

Whale obviously, I'm not so great at squidding around.

I always notice that, too! But weirdly, after they're roasted, I usually like them cold. :s

Congrats to everyone, I love reading so many successes! I'm still a work-in-progress: SW: 185 CW: 151 GW #1: 130 (My pre-pregnancy weight) GW #2: 115 (What I remember as my "best" weight)

Thank you so much, shylady! ♥ This week surprised me, I think exercising had a bigger impact than I guessed it might, which is nice! This morning I came in at 151.0, hoping to hit below 150 within the next two weeks. :) Hope you're doing well!

Please count me in! Current Weight: 151.0 Halloween Goal Weight: 135 Age: 45 Height: 5'4" I love Halloween, this is a fun idea, to make it a goal!

My Grandfather gave me some of his homegrown tomatoes...omg they are huge and a delicious, satisfying snack with nothing but some salt & pepper. Regular grocery store tomatoes just don't even come close!
