You look great! Congrats!:flowerforyou:

I'm sorry I don't. I would imagine you could run all the ingredients throught the recipe tool and find out thought. I got it at WW's and the calories weren't listed. Just the points.

Pork Loin is acutally very lean. Where you get into trouble with pork are all the additives used to cure it. Lots of sodium, sugar etc. If you stay away from the processed kinds of pork--- sugar cured hams, bacon, sausage, etc, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the leaner unprocessed cuts. To those of you who think…

I am also a "sodaholic". One way to make ditching soda easier is to eat a lot of natural sugar for a couple of days. (learned this at Diet Center) Natural sugar comes from fruit. For a couple a days eat as much fresh fruit as you want and ditch the soda. You may get a headache from the withdrawal. Drink flavored water, etc…

You sound to me like you are doing a fantastic job! Kudos to you!!!! One reason that you might be at a standstill is that you are probably gaining some muscle from all the hours in the gym. So think about this for a minute. If this week you gained 2 lbs of muscle and lost 2 lbs of fat. The scale will say you didn't lose…

I am going to try these!

Will have to try the "Truck Stop" recipe. That sounds like a good alternative to full fat B & G. I don't want to "diet" once I drop the weight. So I need tools to maintain and not put it all back on like I have in the past. Thanks for the recipe. All the other ideas look great as well. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I hadn't thought about using buttermilk.... That might be pretty good! Will have to give that a try!

You should have warned me that I would need a box of kleenexes! Very moving!

Looks like I'm a "fire dog", Does this mean I'm a Dalmation? :laugh:

I hope I have this problem one day! :) My friend has lost about 100 lbs in the last year, and she has gotten similar comments. I even thought she started to much older because of the extreme weight loss. She and I discuss this and we both decided that it is because she has been heavy all her life. She just looks so…

Gee there isn't a final straw, I have an entire straw bale! Having to use a seat belt extender, using the elevator at work because my knees are so worn out, grandchildren that I can't be active with, my hips are starting to bother me, high blood pressure, the roll of fat around my middle at my daughter's wedding, not being…

Next time you go to that gym, take along a beautifully wrapped gift box containing some Midol and a anger management therapist business card. :)

Hey! I would like to hook up with some support friends as well. I have a 100+ to lose too!

I just know I do a lot better if I don't keep the junk food around. If it is there and I am having a weak moment, I will tend to lose my resolve. I can't keep things like chips, chocolate or ice cream around. Soda is a bad one for me as well. What I do is try to stock up on healty snacks so that if I want to munch, I've…

In the past, I found that if I completely cut out all refined sugar, and ate foods hight in fiber( raw vegetables, whole grains ) it really helped. It will stabilize your blood sugar and get rid of those cravings.

I have similar issues. My cholesterol is high, take meds for high blood pressure, my knees are shot, and now my hips are starting to bother me as well. I have just started as well and I am determined to get healthier by this time next year. It can be done, my friend has lost almost 100 lbs since this time last year. She…
