Yes! We switched about a month ago, and I am loving bison cheeseburgers with swiss cheese on a little whole wheat slider bun... Drool...

My doctor did not tell me I was obese, but he told me in a very firm voice that I HAD to make some lifestyle changes. I remember being surprised and mildly offended, but over the next couple weeks I kept repeating that conversation in my head, and even though it was difficult to hear, I knew he was correct. Reflecting…

I feel this way. I don't have thyroid issues, but I have to be pretty strict with my eating and workouts or I won't lose. And it took a whole year and 40+ pounds for people to notice that I'd lost weight.

Sounds yum!

No... Christie?

I like to top them with a few tablespoons of homemade honey mustard (equal parts light mayo, mustard, Dijon mustard & honey) and a couple avocado slices. And I'm loving these other ideas!

Hello, fellow junk food junkie! I definitely indulge my cravings from time to time, some days I can't control myself -- I overeat on sweets, and I try to get back on track the next day. Some days I just eat one portion of something sweet and fit it into my day. Some days I stay on track with my eating and have a few jelly…

Awesome, just awesome!

I definitely will try #1 and the strawberry banana bread -- thanks for sharing!

This statistic scares me and as I am close to my goal weight, I often think about how I will maintain my new weight, once I get there. I hope that I've been on this journey long enough (20 months) that is has become habit. I hope that my husband continues on this journey with me, because he is so supportive of our new…

Bump... These are great ideas!

I'm loving these ideas!

Hummus 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained with juice reserved 1/3 cup roasted tahini 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/3 cup olive oil 2 cloves garlic 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon of cumin water Place ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth, adding reserved juice or water if…

That's almost exactly what happened to me -- I started at a size 20 and I had to lose about 30 pounds to get into a size 18. Now I'm a size 14.

I love this question! - I bring a big bowl of raw vegetables and some fruit to work everyday and snack on it throughout the morning: carrots, cucumber slices, bell pepper slices, celery, cauliflower, strawberries, a half an apple. I used to bring hummus to dip my veggies in, but I realized I didn't need it, I got used to…

I agree that Leslie Sansone videos are the way to go. I started my journey at 255 pounds, and I was horribly out of shape and in a lot of pain because of my unhealthy lifestyle and just having a baby. I did those videos at home for a few months before hiring a personal trainer, and I loved them! They gave me enough…

I really enjoyed reading your post and thinking about the question you posed. I originally felt that getting to Onederland meant getting under 200 pounds. But as I am 70 pounds into a 100 pound weight-loss goal, I love the idea of losing 100+ pounds as Onederland as well! I will reach Onederland twice! I do think it…

I want to be a fit mom!

I have a shake for breakfast around 9am and a small lunch at 11:30am, so I have a snack around 2:30 which is around 115 calories -- a medium carrot, a celery stalk and 1/3 cup of 2% cottage cheese with a few chopped strawberries and 1/3 cup chopped pineapple -- that keeps me satisfied until dinner at 5:30pm.

For my entire youth, I hated exercise and sports, and I couldn't understand why anyone would like it. Then I bought a bike about about 15 years ago, and I became obsessed with cycling. It is such a joyful feeling to be out in nature on a bike. It is not always easy, but I love to get out on my bike. I started jogging last…

I make a huge glass of ice water with sliced lemons and limes when I am trying not to snack!

I do cardio 4-5 times a week for 35-45 minutes and lift light weights twice a week -- my cardio is either jogging, elliptical trainer or workout DVDs. I workout at 3 or 4pm on weekdays, and just whenever I get to it on weekends. For my diet, I make two large meals on Sunday night and prep lots of fresh fruits and…

These are my two favorite fish recipes, and they are crazy easy and crazy delicious. I'll serve either of them with brown rice and streamed or roasted veggies. Honey Glazed Salmon: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/honey-glazed-salmon-10000000222922/ Mustard Roasted Fish (I use tilapia for the fish, sub onion for the…

To be a fit and healthy mom.

I like a little sweet after dinner, these have been satisfying for me but not binge-worthy: Sliced banana with a drizzle of honey and a few sprinkles of cinnamon Small handful of yogurt raisins A couple chocolate covered pretzels One cinnamon graham cracker Half of a plain graham cracker and four small squares of very dark…

Eating out. I can go into a restaurant with a plan, sit down, look at the menu, and plan goes out the window. Appetizer, entree, dessert, chocolate martini, I want it all!
