Great job! It's the little victories that all add up!!! :flowerforyou:

I would also say Subway...I always go for the Veggie sub..not too bad calorie wise... Anywhere else, I'd stick with a salad, or a grilled chicken sandwich.... Just pull up the restaurant first and check the calories BEFORE you get there...that way you already know what to get.

Best of luck to you!!! It CAN be done!!! :flowerforyou:

Thanks!! :happy:

Since day 1 I have been set at 1200 calories, I exercise almost every day for at least 30 minutes ( usually on the elliptical - or outside walking/running). I eat back my exercise calories daily, and really haven't had a "cheat" day....I eat what I want, just in moderation so that it fits into my calories for that day... I…

Yes, that's the plan right now....still puts me in the "overweight" category on the BMI scale....but I'll see when I get there how it feels....

Check Target/Walmart right now, they had bags of 250 count of them for halloween - so they are likely on clearance now!!! :happy:

Have you tried the mini versions? Only 15 calories a piece!! :wink: Actually I just found some Philly Swirl popcicles that are only 14 calories a piece! They are standard "single popcicle" size, but have a fruity/creamy taste that is pretty good for only 14 calories! Don't even get me started on my Skinny Cow…

Congrats on your tremendous progress on all levels!!!! Be very proud of all you have accomplished so far! :flowerforyou:

:laugh: :laugh: #4:laugh::laugh: I do this all the time!!! I just imagine that some sweaty dirty guy just stuck his hand in the candy bowl or something!! Works for me!!! I walk right on by!! :happy:

W-O-W! What a great story and what a great success story!! You are truly inspirational!!

I would never last either! I'm also a vegetarian (20+ years) and there's no way I could give up beans, nuts or cheese!!!! I'd starve!!:laugh:

Yeah!! That totally gets on my nerves!!! :drinker:

That's great! Gotta love the little things!:flowerforyou:

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I couldn't do it without you all!!! :flowerforyou:

Aw, thank you! :smile:

Congrats to you!!!! I just broke the 170's (finally)..so I still have a ways to go....but great job and thanks for the motiviation!! :flowerforyou:

Congrats! Way to go!!

Heck no!!! As long as you have the calories go ahead and enjoy it!!! I know I do!!!:happy:

That is truly great news! Way to change your life!! :flowerforyou:

Congrats!! :flowerforyou:

That's awesome!!! :happy: (BTW - NSV stands for Non Scale Victory) :wink:

Great progress! Keep up the healthly lifestyle for your little girl!! :happy:

Great job! I can't wait until I break through the 170's...and I'm soooooo close!!!!!:smile:

Had a coworker not recognize me on the way in to work today!!! Woohoo!!! :laugh: Also had multiple comments from friends and coworkers that I am looking skinny!! What???? ME????? Skinny????? :happy:

bump for later!

That's one-derful!! :laugh: Congrats!!!

I love olive oil, but yes, it is high in calories...try getting a "Misto" you can pick one up at most housewares stores (Bed bath and Beyond) etc., it allows you to use your own olive oil, and mist it on rather than pour it out which can help you to use much less and still coat your pan/food. :smile:

Totally with you there!!!! :laugh: I keep looking for shirts that will show them off!!!! :wink:

I have thought about changing mine as well...but haven't yet....maybe when I'm at goal weight I will....I listed my starting weight when I started MFP, although I lost 12 pounds before that ...so I too "mentally" add that in when I think or tell people how much I have lost....I have my "since January" number and my "total"…
