I am 5' 4". My profile pic is me at the beginning, 218 and about a year ago at 152. I have regained some of that weight but hope to reach 145 or less. Today, I would settle for that 152.

NSVs are the best!!! Congrats and sounds like you both had fun!

I am an addict. Sometimes I just want to eat, not because I am hungry, but because I know it will taste good or because I am bored.

I read this the other day, and I repeat it to myself when I want to turn to "mindless nibbling": "Discipline is deciding between what you want most and what you want right now." I've had the same issue in the past, it just takes discipline.

happens to me as well. shifting your feet around will help. I don't know what causes it, but the shifting helps

Garnier 3 minute undo is marvelous!! I use it once per week. It adds tons of shine and totally reverses dryness. My hair was so damaged when I first started that the first 2 weeks it took 2 x per week.

McDonalds and other restaurants did not make me fat. My poor choices made me fat and unhealthy. People should be accountable for their own actions and stop blaming every one else. Eat it or don't eat it! It's the individual's decision. I can eat McDonald's for lunch or choose to bring something from home. I choose to make…

Have a big salad to start, dressing on the side. Then opt for baked, roasted, or grilled meats, not fried. I personally avoid the starchy veggies and stick to the greener variety. The last time I went they had some baked "new orleans" fish that was delicious! Fruit for dessert!!!

I like to use a multi grain sandwich thin, lightly toasted.

thanks!! I have been using greek yogurt in place of mayo in lots of things, don't know why egg salad has not crossed my mind!!

I always have the 6" roasted chicken breast on wheat with lettuce, tomato, spinach, black olives, cucumber, and bell pepper.

I like the Yoplait Light and Fit 0 fat. I have been eating the strawberry. Stir it up, and stir it well, then stir it some more. I have not found 1 yet that I don't like, but the secret, I think, is to make sure you stir them well.

I must try this.............SOON!!!

I love it!!! I use plain non fat greek yogurt in all my recipes that call for mayo!!! Plus it adds additional protein. That stuff is amazing. I also love to to eat the yoplait light and fit no fat strawberry for only 80 calories and 12g of protein!!

Great news!!! Congrats and keep up the excellent work!

definately eggs, you can usually find some frozen veggies on a sale pretty cheap. Check the meat and seafood departments for mark downs (be sure to freeze these if you aren't going to use them right away). Pasta, rice, and dry beans are usually pretty cheap. My grocer often has chicken and tilapia BOGO. Bananas are usually…

If you have half, it would be half the calories, so then you could have twice as much

you look amazing........and younger!!!!!!! Congrats on your success!!!

I like to marinate them in a ziploc bag with fat free italian dressing all day and then put them on the grill when I get home. Amazing!!!

I eat eggs most days. Either hard boiled, scrambled, in an omelet, or I make "egg in a basket". I like to have any of these with a side of fruit whenever possible. If I am pushed for time like I was today, my go to is a slice of bread with a tablespoon of peanut butter smeared on it and folded in half. It's a quick fix,…

as others are stating, eat carbs and protein together

Way to be strong!! I only eat lunch out 2 or 3 times a month now. Brown bagging saves me calories, fats, and sodium. Not to mention money. I eat at my desk and spend my lunch hour working out.

That is awesome!! Congratulations!!

A Poo Poo platter?

I eat peanut butte EVERY DAY!! In moderation of course. Usually a tablespoon a day.

same here!!

You sound exactly like I did yesterday. I lose and gain, lose and gain lately. Out of curiosity this morning I pulled my favorite jeans out and tried them on. They fit again!!!!! While the scale is not going down as I would like, I must be doing something right. So to answer your question, yes, it's worth it. Let's both…

20 pounds in 2 weeks!!! Cut off one of your limbs.

It sounds to me like she has self image issues and is looking for someone to tell her that she is not overweight and that she is still beautiful. She says she is happy the way she is, but it sounds like she is trying to convince herself and others around that that is really true when it's not. All you can really do is…
