This sounds very similar to what I do. I prefer beef. Like you, I do not eat processed foods. I have a garden and like to make my own stone ground corn tortillas, and my own enchilada sauce from my mole peppers... Wish I could find a way to make my own Cream of Mushroom soup ... :)

Halo? Statchoo?

I am sooooo totally impressed. Keep up the good work and THANK YOU for sharing your success story!

Awesome story! I smoked 30 years, too. My story kinda mimicks yours, right down the line. Good job, and congrats on your accomplishments!

I quit smoking several months ago, and gained about 12 pounds. But now I'm down 30 pounds. Don't let weight gain discourage you. Your only concern should be to break the hold nicotine has on you. Later, you can come back and tackle the pounds you put on. As someone who has been through it, I wanted to give you my story so…

Mine says 136 to 185. Are you freaking kidding me? I am 6 feet one inch tall, male. 136?? I'm shooting to end up between 180 and 185. Started out at 230, down to 200 now.

Juliette Binoche. Hands down. (Among other things... ;)

Don't live in the past. What happened, happened. Today is the first day of the rest of your life! Just do it! You know you can! And we're all here to help you! :)

Hi Anna! Welcome!!! I love this place, and have used it effectively for a month. I hope it works well for you. It is doing the trick for me (even though the user interface is lame, compared to Facebook and other platforms.) But the people are great. :)

Exactly! Oops. I meant to quote. The gal who said all women are pretty and dads should reinforce that with their daughters every day.

Singer Inara George. With me. :)

"A bizarre attack with a light saber in Portland has put one man in jail tonight." - Just heard this on KIRO TV (Seattle). It actually made me look up and watch the news for a moment, LOL!

No, Angela. MFP did not change your life. YOU changed your life. MFP was very helpful. Give credit where credit is due ... you did a most amazing thing! Congratulations!!

You are a very brave and most awesome woman. You have my deepest respect and my very sincere congratulations. You are amazing!!!

Bacon porn! My mouth is watering... :)

I have existing real life friends on here but have never met in real life anyone that I've crossed paths with on this platform.

Need a 'Like' button!

I'm too shy to pic them but I generally approve them when they request. Maybe I'm still shell-shocked from Facebook and am afraid that MFP friends will find a way to send me Farmville requests, LOL!

Fred Meyer. Totally unsexy.

My wife and I don't go to the gym as we have all the exercise equipment at home. At work one day, I bragged: "My wife has her own gym." (Meaning me, of course ... Jim)... Mike, a coworker, quipped: "No wonder she's so out of shape!" LOL! Quick humor. Actually, she's fit as a fiddle and a great motivator for me to get into…

LMAO ansonrinesmit... GOOD ONE. :)

"The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and "Damage" (tied with "Dolores Claiborne" - Jennifer Jason Leigh is HOT in that movie ... dark, sullen ... ohmy...)

I'm in. Avoiding all holiday treats!

OMG you are gorgeous. What in inspiration! I read through your post and will remember it when I need a quick "pick me up" in my program. Congratulations to you! What an amazing story you have to tell.

Awesome! Very inspirational!

Me too! On Thanksgiving, I preprogrammed what I would eat onto MFP with my Android. Then, when I sat down at the table, I ate only that. Due to a health syndrome I have, my doctor told me to keep a diary of everything I eat. I was having a hard time doing that, until I found MFP! :)
