If it is a major restaurant franchise with a website, odds are you can see menus and calorie counts online and plan ahead. Perhaps your family can support your success and let you choose the restaurant?

You look fab! Happy birthday!

I started on January 7th too and I also am down 30 pounds! Same timeline same results! Go us!!

5'6" here and 30 pounds down, 41 to go for me. You look fab! Doesn't it feel so freeing to not have to lug all that extra weight around? Great job! Keep it up!

You look great- congrats on breaking out of the post baby rut...I am on my way of breaking free too! Same eye on the prize, size 9/10 as goal. We'll get there!

Fresh fruit and vegetables. Copious amounts. Chicken breast, turkey, lean ground beef, pork loin - I try to rotate as I am feeding the whole gang. Arnold's Multigrain Thins, flavored almonds (toasted coconut and blazin buffalo are my current go tos), taco seasoning (have taco salad for dinner almost every week), Skinny Cow…

When you are slim and looking hot, be sure to return the 'favor' to her some day when her butt is looking wide. Good for you not letting others bring you down. You know who you are inside - the power and strength. That is what gets you to your goals in life.

Height: 5'6.5" Age/Gender: 46/Female Highest weight: 220 pounds Lowest weight: 126 pounds (and dropped menses so I know that weight is too low for me.) Current weight: 189.5 pounds Current body fat: 39% (I think) Goal weight: 147, just like my name says I am 30 pounds down on MFP and 40 pounds to goal. Quite excited this…

Has anyone used Zumba Wii?

Finally got it! You have to add brackets [ ] on either side of the jpg with lower case img in front and /img in back. And you look terrific!

You can totally see a difference! Great job!!

Still a work in progress but a BIG shout out to all the 5'6/5'7 ladies that have been making this thread a success. You are inspiring gals like me!

I hope I don't get banned for panties either! I didn't realize it was a bannable offense. There was too much junk in the trunk and the size 10 jeans wouldn't go up any farther. A big sorry to any MFP monitor that is reading this.

LOVE the photo of you and your daughter in your old pants. My children make me want to be a better person too. Don't you know you are her hero?! Great job keeping it off!

WTG! Great to see a success story with a 5'7" girl!

So happy for you! Great job!

2 mini Hershey bunnies, 12 jellybeans. 138 calories worked into today's overall count.

Wow...great job! Your results on your stomach give me hope with my post baby belly! Very inspirational, thanks for posting!

I couldn't find my updated posts in this thread, so I just updated from the first. 6 pounds down in March! I am ready to rock April as there are lots of milestones nearby.:) Good job everyone!

Guilty as charged. I too am a stress eater. I read recently that stress is when you try to resist what is. (Insert long pause to let this last sentence really sink in.) There will always be illness (sorry to hear of your sister's battle) and jerkwads in the business place. What we choose to eat will not change that. I am…

I have family coming into town for Easter, will be hosting Easter dinner, will have kids home on Spring Break, plan to go to a couple of amusement parks, and plan to have an Easter Bunny cake, chocolate and jelly beans in the house. Today I figured out an eating plan to get through the next hectic 10 days. I would have…

You look fab Becky! Keep up the great work!!

My husband got me a nice watch that I had fitted to my wrist at the time by having a link removed. I was 162 at the time. It is too tight for me right now at 193....so beware ladies of this wive's tale.. You gain weight everywhere, wrists and fingers included. Don't conclude that you are a large frame if your wrist is more…

I am 5'6.5" and look and feel best when in the high 140s. If I get down to the high 120s, my period drops so I know that is too light for my medium/large fame.

Wonderful post and congrats on reaching Onederland! Your son is adorable and your husband must be so proud. Thank you for posting your story, you are such an inspiration!

You don't have the ability to change yesterday, only today. I try to live in the moment and make the best choices I can for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And the all important snacks. And as far as exercise goes, especially in the beginning, walking is all it takes. That is all I am doing right now and it is working. Hang…
