When I eat with my family I'll do the following: I'll ask how things were made so I can estimate as best as I can I still weigh and measure as much as possible (I don't carry a scale around but at this point I have a good idea) plus everyone has measuring cups handy. OR I'll add extra exercise that day so I can enjoy…

I started last July and have lost 62 pounds. That's living realistically and flowing with the ups and downs of life. Thanks to MFP and all the friends I've made here.....the support is AMAZING!!! Good luck....you can do it!!!

WOW what a feat! Congratulations....SO happy for you!!!

Ditto, NEVER logged any of that! I'd never get anything done if I logged all the spices I use :happy:

You look AMAZING and WAY younger.....great job!!!

When you check "fatbook" MFP before facebook :bigsmile:

"Feeling healthy and feeling good about yourself is not a luxury - it's an absolute necessity." :bigsmile:

tzatziki sauce. they sell it at costco and it's SO yummy on a wrap or salad with chicken, turkey burgers or whatever kind of meat you like. It's low in fat, calories and BIG on taste. Take it from this mayo addict!

Same here!

Hebrew National makes a killer low fat hot dog, that and light hot dog buns and you're in! I'd also do grilled chicken, maybe marinate some shrimp or seafood if you like that and make yourself some prechopped salads and put them in portion sized Ziploc bags....add a lil dressing right in the bag and shake. Good luck!!!

I started at 317 with my highest being who knows what ( I stopped weighing myself for a short time when I was really miserable) feel free to add me if you;d like :) Keep up the good work!

that would be the best of both worlds for me....sign me up!!!

What a transformation.....AMAZING job sister!!!

And take away man cards :wink:

I have an amazing group of friends and definitely have a crush on a few of them :love: . Their dedication, support and personalities are intoxicating and couldn't continue this journey without any of them. A lot of us flirt shamelessly but it's all it good fun! Wouldn't change it for the world!!!

My thoughts EXACTLY Zoe :bigsmile:

I do vanilla sleepytime tea or the extra wellness sleepytime tea (has valerian root in it) by Celestial Seasons. They're so calming and relaxing before bed :yawn:

Amazing G! So happy and proud of the hard work and dedication you put while enjoying your life realistically....KUDOS to you brother!

OMG That is amazing....congrats!!! Your hard work is SO paying off....you're an inspiration!

I stayed the same but after losing 10lbs the first 3 weeks, I'm okay with that. Working harder this week, fer shur :bigsmile:

WOW, what a difference! Congratulations to and your family for such an inspiring story....keep up the amazing work!

Do they have the skin on? If so: preheat the oven at 275 I put the thighs in a baking pan and cover them with tin foil slow cook them for 90 mins uncover and drain the fat cover the thighs in bbq sauce and turn the oven up to 375 and cook another 30 mins to crisp up. the meat falls right off the bone and my family goes…

I'm went from 260 to 258 so I'm down 2 lbs....10 in total since we started :bigsmile: Thanks again for all the energy you are putting into this whole challenge K....you're the best!!!

Looking super sexy there girlie.....totally rcokin' it! CONGRATS and keep up the amazing work!

I love doing that.....it like food forensics! I also like clicking on the forum post and seeing what my mfp friends write on them!

Food, sex and some kind of recreational activity ie. sports, wood working, movies, music....whatever works. other than that, it is us women that are the complicated creatures. Men=Simplicity! :bigsmile:

Me too but went into the day knowing it. I haven't had too many of them but you so have the right attitude! Right back up on that horse today and forget yesterday ever happened.....EXCEPT the part where the Jets beat the Patriots :bigsmile: that I'll never forget! Plus I will punish myself with additional exercise today :)

Beer and wings....I just do them in more moderation now. I love mayo but downgraded to light. Half & half in my coffee is a MUST!

Thank you so much for sharing this information.....very interesting!

I do it all the time and it's not lame at all! I also weigh and measure all my stuff and after seeing my results they are all so supportive! I'm doing the 30 DS as well so sometimes I'll throw in another 20-30 mins of cardio so I can afford the little extras :bigsmile: Good luck and keep up the great commitment!
