^^^^This too!!!

^^^^This. And trust me. As the mom to 4 sons, I know EXACTLY how much a boy can eat which is a TON! However, if you quit supplying the snacks, they'll have no choice but to eat what is fixed. As for buying a locking cabinet, save your money. Put YOUR snacks in the closet and DARE them to touch it. If they do, there should…

I'm soooo sorry!

My SO, which happens to be my husband, supports me in so many ways. He: never complains about what I fix for dinner and when the kids complain, he informs them that everyone will eat what I eat or wait til the next meal. exercises with me when he can. Since he works 12-hour shifts 5 nights a week, that can be tough.…

With 4 very active sons and a very active hubby, during ball season we are out of the house at supper time probably 5-6 nights a week. However, we never eat fast food. I utilize my crock pot most of those nights or fix my meals earlier in the day so that all I have to do when I get home is pop dinner in the oven. Dinner is…

BUMP! I love goat cheese and am gonna have to sooo try some of these ideas.

Same here. Lots of protein in the morning is a good thing!

I am 5 ft 4.5 in. with a small frame (wrist size not quite 6 inches). I weigh 149. Depending on the brand I wear a size 10/12 in pants and dresses and a size large in tops. I'm very busty or I'd probably wear a medium in my tops. I also have an hourglass figure. Your shape will make a difference as well.

My husband and I had just gotten ready to attend my oldest son's college graduation. We were getting ready to walk out the door to attend the ceremony and one of my younger sons took the picture.

Congratulations on your weight loss success! BOTH of you look fantastic! It's great that you have each other for support. My husband and I have been losing weight together as well and it makes all the difference in the world to have a support system.

Unsweetenend almond milk and ice cubes. I also put my protein powder in a green smoothie. Mix with 3 cups spinach, 1/2 cup of berries, and some almond butter. It may not sound too appetizing, but it is very good.

imadingyitis. She suffers from a terrible case of "I'm a dingy" itis.

46 here and in the best shape I've been in years.

Before I say anything, I want you to know that a 52-pound loss is great and nothing to thumb your nose at so it's obvious you're doing something right. Right???? Secondly, I took a look at your food diary. In my very humble opinion, I think you're eating way to many processed foods that are high in carbs and sugars. If you…

So glad others feel like I do. Children ARE a blessing. I have four (all boys), but if I had to do it over, I'd want at least six.

I buy free-range, organic eggs and eat the whole thing. The yolk is absolutely the best part. If you are buying free-range organic, the yolk is also the healthiest part. You are throwing away the good stuff if you are only eating the whites. Also, the yolks need to be runny for you to get the best benefit. My husband's…

I'm 46 and would love to have you as a friend. Just send me a request if you'd like.

I'm on Day 7, Level 2 for the second time around. It DOES get easier even though you think you're gonna die at the start of it. One thing I'll add. On the first go-round, I stuck with Anita and the second go-round, I'm able to do what Natalie is doing so you WILL see improvements. Congratulations on making the decision to…

Congratulations! We are the same height and started out about the same weight, but I'm stuck with trying to get those last 20 pounds off. Your pictures give me a point of reference as to what I can look forward to. You are a beautiful young lady.

Congratulations!!! Your transformation is amazing. Thank you for sharing. It encourages me.

Oreo Cookies. Unfortunately, I don't know how to eat just 2 or 3. I have to eat the whole bag! It's one of those foods that I'm better off eating none of because I don't have the will power to eat them in moderation.

Bump for later. Sounds yummy!

I put mine in a smoothie (like what was already suggested to you) and I also stir fry mine in either olive or avocado oil with some minced garlic cloves and a little pepper. Kale has a strong flavor to it when you eat it raw so if you're not used to it, it may be hard to eat it that way at first, but you will get used to…

Great job everyone! I'd share my before and after but can't figure out how to post pics. And yes, I've read all the advice everyone has given about posting pics but I still can't figure it out. When I do, I'll share.

Congratulations! You are absolutely beautiful. I read your profile page and I have 4 sons too, BTW.

I'm 46 and have lost 56 pounds. I've been at it since December 2010 but started MFP in September 2011 (I didn't find out about MFP until then). I have hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, and metabolic stress so it takes me a lot longer to lose the weight than most. I log my food every day, drink half my body weight in ounces per…

I've got a 5K on my bucket list of things to accomplish. I'll have to try this.

I use it to bookmark it to my profile page so I can go back and read it later. It may be that I don't have time to read it at the present or it's information I want to refer to down the road.

Wow! What an awesome job and inspiring story! Thanks for sharing!

BUMP. Thanks for the tip!
