Congratulations! Keep up the hard work. That transformation is awesome! I'm so glad you posted this! I thought I was the only one with those weird, poochy places under their boobs. I can't wait for those to go away! Good to know I'm not the only one! Haha. Again, great job! :flowerforyou:

Thanks for this. I really needed it today. I've never had a stall this long, and I feel it is hormone related, but it really has me down. I know it will work itself out soon, but it can be discouraging. This was a nice picker-upper. :flowerforyou:

Montreal Steak seasoning Texas Pete hot sauce Mrs. Dash (in assorted flavors) crushed red pepper flakes cinnamon Does onion count? Probably not? I don't think I care. I can't live without an onion. I put it in everything. EVERYTHING.

From the store: Uncle Ben's Rice Bowls in Sweet and Sour Chicken. We ate lots of those in my house as a kid. They made the best frozen Sweet and Sour Chicken. From the restaurant: Applebee's Dynamite Shrimp. It's probably good that they are gone, since I am now an adult with my own spending money and could buy as much as…

I've seen recipes for roasted okra. It's supposed to get crunchy and tasty. Not sure though, fried okra is just so darn good, it's hard to stray away! Hope you find a good recipe. Good luck.

So, what size clothes are you wearing now? And what size did you start out in? Such an inspiration! :flowerforyou:

I have just glanced through your diary for about the last ten days worth of meals. First off, you should be congratulated for the days that you have stayed under your goal. 1400ish calories is a pretty tight constraint and you are doing fairly well with it!! Way to go. Next, I notice that you are logging plenty of "quick…

Went to a thrift store with a friend of mine. Found a couple of cute tops that I didn't think would fit (or at least wouldn't fit the way they were supposed to) but decided to try on both of them anyway. They both fit perfectly! I was able to get a cute Christopher Banks plaid shirt and a strapless Victoria Secret "bra…

Bumping to read after some people respond that know more than I do! Very interesting!

I bought this at Walmart. It just cuts the vegetable you use into pieces that look like spaghetti. It worked surprisingly well for an "as seen on TV" product, I thought. Yes, there is some waste from the center of the vegetable, but not a lot. I used it on a zucchini and made some spaghetti and mixed the two together, so…

Diet related: "Is that allowed in your diet?" "Are you still losing weight?" Says the person next to me when I decide to eat something delicious (i.e. s'mores or chicken fajita nachos) that I have carefully worked into my day. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change and I refuse to cut out the things that I love (I tried…

I own a NutriBullet and I have never had any serious problems blending anything, ice included. The only issue I ever have is if I don't add enough liquid, and that is only because I would rather struggle a little to get it blended and have a super thick smoothie than add the appropriate amount of liquid and have one that…

I have logged in everyday on the app for the last 165 days and have logged faithfully. I have successfully lost 41.5 pounds in a sustainable way. I believe the app (and the website) absolutely works. Be honest to it and it will be honest with you. Good luck!

Bump for deliciousness!

Fantastic job! I, too, have breast cancer that runs in my family. My grandmother tested negative for the gene, but we know it must be genetic as my great grandmother, my grandmother, and my great-aunt have all had cancer. We have recently heard there is a new gene test out, so we are hopeful that this will give us some…

I love making stuffed peppers and pour a large amount of tomato sauce over them when baking, and ladle it on top when I serve them. They're also a meal in themselves, and doesn't require sides if you don't want them. I put brown rice, onion, bell pepper, ground beef, and a small bit of tomato sauce in mine. I then add the…

You could eat a piece of fruit and a protein shake. I have recently found the Special K protein shakes, which I really enjoy (thick, creamy, and tasty) and I have been enjoying them with fresh summer produce. It's been keeping me full all morning!

I'll be a senior in the fall!

I'm from Metropolis.

Honestly, I have no idea. I just like to be aware of my abilities so that I know when I do something I have never been able to do before. The surprise is quite awesome.

In for deliciousness! Yum yum!:love:

How tall are you?! You and I may be weight loss twins! I started at 270.5 and am working toward 170, ultimately. Maybe less. I'm 5'5. Our body shapes look similar. So inspiring. Thank you for posting this picture! I have thought about doing the same with my wedding dress when I lose all my weight, as I just found out about…

It sounds to me like one of two things. 1) You have an eating disorder of some sort (although, I am in no way qualified to diagnose such a thing). 2) You have the completely wrong idea of what you need to be doing to achieve your goal. If you have an eating disorder, please seek professional help. There is nothing those of…

I would probably just keep it set to sedentary and then add what you do at the barn as a workout, so you can add those calories back. That way you don't cheat yourself. That's what I do since I am a college student. Sometimes I get a workout in and some days I don't. I didn't want that pre-calculated for me, I wanted to be…

I had a similar issue yesterday, but at dinner time. I didn't eat nearly enough for breakfast or lunch, so by dinner I was starved and was craving pizza like none other. I gave in and went hog wild. I probably went 300-400 over on my calories (can't find something to compare for that half a slice of dessert pizza I ate…

I would definitely look into the side effects of the depo shot before starting it, and not only for weight loss reasons. While there are many women that use that form of birth control and are content with it, I have heard many horrible stories, including infertility and emergency hysterectomies. These stories are from…

Okay, so here is my opinion. Yes, they are getting a bit of sugar. Are they getting a lot of other sugars throughout the day? If this is their main source of sugar, I don't know that it is a huge issue. Of course, you could use half the fruit, as I'm not sure you could really taste banana, apple, strawberry, AND peach.…

1. My face and skin are no longer greasy. Goodbye uncontrollable acne. 2. I actually see improvement when I look into the mirror, not disappointment. 3. I am starting to gain self confidence, something that I have never possessed in my entire life. Can't wait to see what the rest of my journey holds!

Bump to save. The spiced variety sounds extra yummy!
