  • I am aiming for 130. I have about 50lbs to lose and I am just starting. If I keep bringing my lunch then I should be ok. It's eating out that's killing me!

  • Just be proud of your accomplishments and the changes you make in your own life.

I ended up with the Grilled Chicken BLT - 380 caloies. It tasted pretty good and I felt ok eating it since it was grilled and did not…
