Kicking junk food is as hard if not harder then other "things" I've had to kick in days past. You have to really want to make the changes and put a tremendous amount of effort into it. But... You can do it, good luck and if you "slip" don't beat yourself up over it just get right back on course... Best of success to you!

I can't believe some of the things I'm reading here, I can't imagine how people think they can say some of these things...

Good for you, send those jerks packing... You lost a ton of weight and anyone that doesn't applaud you for that should pound sand...

You would look gorgeous as a redhead too, why not consider that? But out of the choices they all look beautiful though I prefer the dark blond...

Please tell me someone didn't really say that to you?

People that are always in a rush People that are stressed out People that are wealthy and put down people that aren't People that are in positions of power (social or professional) and take pleasure in keeping other's down People that say things under their breath

All I did was workout and lead a very active lifestyle personally and professionally... Then! Hurt my shoulder Quit smoking Met my wife Quit bartending Went back to school Started a company based on working at a desk Became a Dad Started taking Celaxa You get the idea ;)

Wow a 5K that's impressive! Good for you!

I'd say try calorie cycling and mix-up your fitness routine. I just broke a plateau using those methods, took me about a week and a half... You are doing awesome BTW, good times!

Tossed the last of my fat pants this morning!

I eat a bag just about every day too and it seems to fit in nicely overall...

Educating yourself and picking the right "team" with the most to offer is so important. I am so fortunate that in Boston we have some of the most successful programs in the US (or world actually) and my surgical and before/after care team are just rock-stars in the field... They are there for me for everything, the before…

Thanks everyone, my plan now is to hit my goal (another 6lbs) and then my body composition. See if I can shift things around a little bit... Excuse the smart-*kitten* pose I was having some fun with my daughter taking the pics LOL...

So great, keep it going!

Went to dinner with the fam and had half of their Sweet & Spicy Chicken dinner form the lighter menu and it was goooood!

I love cereal for breakfast, my favs are: Mini-Wheats (all flavors) Cinnamon Life Honey Nut Chex

I'm a little over three months post-op and I am doing amazing. BUT... 1.The surgery was my last resort after trying unsuccessfully for years to get my eating and weight under control to know avail. 2. I spent almost two years in the gym 5-6 days a week BEFORE my surgery to make sure I could make the necessary changes in my…

I own a cool web design business I run from my comfy home office... I have no complaints it's a dream lifestyle I worked my *kitten* off to get established and we really are blessed...

My wife is totally hot, does that count?

I haven't drank for about 11 years at least and don't miss it. I drank all I needed for a lifetime up to that point...

You like great but to be honest you were beautiful even in the heavier picture so good for you X2!

I adhere to the no-deprivation mindset as well and find it actually makes it easier to NOT eat things that I am better off without. It's like well if I REALLY want this I can have it as long as it's within my daily calorie budget and most of the time I pass on it...

I like how everyone is so happy to have enjoyed the treats in moderation and it looks like most of us probably kept it within our calorie budget. I too had a killer workout today and walked the neighborhood with my wife and kids for over an hour for a little extra cardio...

I had my Wife and kids stash all the goods too, no reason to mindlessly reach into that bowl just because it's sitting there!

That Banana Laffy Taffy is awesome stuff!

ooops

Hey kids love goldfish, hell I do too! Good for you passing on the sweets too!

The only thing is when you don't take in enough calories your body eventually does hold on to all your weight so your weight loss will stall for sure. It's a ridiculous concept but sometimes eating a little more is better for weight loss then eating less...

LOL just started my own thread about this one: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/785008-ok-who-had-some-halloween-candy-lol

I have a similar mindset, if the calories are are available in my daily allotment and I want to eat something I do. However, more often then not I eat something that's better for me all around...
