Congratulations! That's great! I'm sure your wife didn't think it was bad news. I would be happy to go exchange a pair that was too big!

There are lots of ways to get protein besides meat. beans soy products dairy (cheese, yogurt, milk, etc) energy bars Maybe you just need some different recipes to cook your meat, too. I get sick of foods because I make the same things all the time. Maybe you could try some new recipes and eat your meat in different ways?

I'm just having some sausages with a big salad!

That's super! What a great feeling!! :D

I'm doing it for my self confidence and so I can feel great about myself. Also, for my husband. But the main reason is for me.

You look fantastic!! :D

Wow that is so amazing!! :D

Wow, amazing! You look fantastic! I love the Subway photo tradition. That's super cute!

Wow you look fantastic!!! Keep up the awesome work!

You look amazing!!! :D Great work!

Wow you look absolutely AMAZING!!! What an inspiration!

It is frustrating when people are making excuses instead of deciding to take action, I know! My sister is the same way - constant excuses and she's so overweight she was just diagnosed with the start of diabetes. She's only 24. As frustrating as it is, it has to be THEIR decision. However, what you can do is inspire them…

I blog here sometimes but my main blog is at http://caity.nu

Hi from New Zealand! Welcome to MFP. You'll love it here especially if you get some really supportive friends!

I avoided fast food all last week so I'm on board for this week too, yay! :)

Welcome to MFP Jenn. Good luck to you! :)

HOLY CRAP. Whoa. That is absolutely disgusting that food can have that many calories.

I set mine at 2 pounds because I really want to lose weight and I think I still have a decent amount to lose. Sometimes I lose more and sometimes I lose less.

Those gifts are so adorable! I love them so much!! Wow you have a busy schedule! :P

I'm most successful when: 1. I get my walk in every day. 2. I am on a schedule. 3. I am cooking dinner. 4. I drink more than 10 cups of water every day. 5. I am in a good mood. 6. I am up early in the morning and go to bed early. 7. I can see steady weight loss or other type of progress like clothes fitting better. 8.…

Welcome to MFP! You're definitely in the right place. It's a great tool to help you and the people here are so supportive!! Good luck! :)

Yeah, I can understand where you're coming from too as far as trying to understand food. I'm working on this too. Good luck! MFP is a fantastic tool to help you and everyone here is so supportive! :)

Welcome! Good luck on your journey! MFP is a great tool to help you. :)

Absolutely not. Sometimes I drink more than 20 cups a day. Eight 8oz glasses is average for most people but other factors can change it like your climate, how much exercise you get, and lots of other things. I find this very useful to me. It's a water calculator based on a lot of these factors.…

I agree, why not take it a couple pounds at a time? You can always readjust your goal at any time. I honestly think that 140 seems too low considering your picture but you never know how you'll feel now when you get there.

This is great! Thanks for sharing!

Around 8 hours. Sometimes a bit more or less.

Haha, very clever. :bigsmile:

I want to be able to run for as long as I want to. I want to take photos of myself however I want and not have to try and pose to hide half of myself behind my friends. I want to feel confident when I walk down the street. I want to wear cute skirts and dresses and go shopping for clothes without feeling out of place in…

Oh that is so cool! It is such a good feeling when you notice little things like that. Well, they're really not little, they're huge things in the grand scheme of things! Great work! :D
