Egg Bake!!!!! Take a muffin pan and put a slice of canadian bacon in each hole. Pour in a mixture made of eggs/egg whites, sauteed peppers...whatever strikes our fancy...and bake Or do it like a crust free quiche. thrown some sausage crumbles into a cake pan. Add egg mixture and veggies, hash browns...whatever makes you…

That is awesome! I can't wait to make it that far!

If it calls itself a "cleanse" it is a scam. Your body cleanses itself. You can help it along by drinking plenty of water and eating healthy food (not crap) but otherwise just let it do it's thing. Also, be careful of what "supplements" you consume because many of those actually do more harm than good....some are harmless…

You look great!

That is so NICE of you!!!! I don't think I've ever inspired anyone before! lol You inspire me also. You are so dedicated and determined!

Awesome!!

In to post recipes later AND to get some great ideas

I have a few times in the past......loooooong ago when I was single. It almost always worked out well! There was this one jacked up time when he said he'd love to go out, let me take him out to dinner and drinks....and then the whole time we were both super awkward and had nothing in common...and that was the end of that.…

Oh, I have no shame about my snickers ice cream bars or my Little Debbie snack cakes! :love: I just keep them within my limits. My diary is open, I try my best to be supportive, I log every day and I am honest about what I eat. Friend request sent!

Awesome! Don't get discouraged if it slows down after a bit, just keep doing what you are doing! You will get there.

I would be totally happy with a truth in labeling mandate. I will make my choices and take responsibility for them....but please give me honest info to work with, eh?

When I was 297 I snored a lot. Now, at 230 I only snore when my allergies are acting up. Hope that helps!

It depends on how much weight you have to lose. If you have a lot to lose, like myself, two lbs per week is totally realistic. If you are closer to goal, then probably not.

My face, hands and feet have always been the first areas where I see a difference. First my cheek bones start to pop out, then my ring gets loose and the tendons in my feet become visible when I wiggle my toes. The tummy and hips are shrinking too but they are large enough that the change isn't that obvious just yet.

That is awesome! Running an entire 5k is one of my goals for this year. Right now I run about a mile before I need a walking break. You must be so proud of your accomplishment!

I totally get acne when I work out. I have super sensitive skin, plus I have PCOS which makes me somewhat prone to acne...and I'm 30 fricking 6. What has really helped me is to wash my face with something SUPER gentle after working out...like a neutragena face bar or something else that is really mild, preferably unscented…

This!!! Thank you for saying it for me. My mind was about to explode and all sorts of ugly things were going to come out.
-
Yay For YOU!!!!

That there are so many "experts" saying such contradictory things, confusing the heck out of me. I've decided to ignore them all for the sake of my own sanity and just keep things simple.. eat less, move more.

Here in the south (united states) we drink tea all the time. It's usually ice cold and loaded with enough sugar to make your teeth hurt...but we LOVE it.:laugh: I seriously adore tea though. I love my southern sun brewed ice tea like old aunt Trudy used to make...but I also love hot tea. My favorites are peppermint and…

I am envious of your office. I thought I'd made it in life when I got the corner cubicle with access to TWO windows. :) Congrats on the office and the good feelings.

My diary is open! I've lost a lot of weight but still have a looong way to go and I log everything every day ( I lost some of my weight pre-mfp. Have gone from 297 to 231 and stillllll dropping.)

Your family doesn't need to know if you get counseling, although it may be the trigger for them admitting that they might need some too. The loss of a little one impacts everyone in the family...they may just need your validation that it's ok to get some help also. So often, particularly with this kind of loss, people have…

I am cheap. I will only spend more on an item (assuming the quality is equivalent) if it helps keep my neighbors employed. I don't give a damn what the brand name is or how popular it is. I did care about those things when I was a kid....but then I grew up. ***One exception*I do STILL really want a pair of Doc Marten's but…

My weight fluctuates by 3 lbs on an almost daily basis! Seriously! :) Not only is muscle more dense than fat, you also have to consider water weight. Water weight is especially relevant for women as our hormones cause us to retain significant amounts of water through various points in our cycle. Water weighs a lot! At…

What this person said....totally.

I weigh every morning, but I don't take it too seriously as there is a lot of fluctuation in what the scale will show. I just find it interesting to see things like gaining two lbs of water weight after a salty popcorn munch the night before. From what I've seen, it's fine to weigh every day or just once per month,…

Ever since I was a teenager I've wanted Doc Marten Boots. They are expensive though so I never buy them (I'm frugal like that). However, once I reach my 100lb weight loss mark....which is now only 35lbs away...I WILL HAVE THOSE DAMN BOOTS! lol :devil:

You look 15 or 20 years younger in the second photo!

I'm new to all this and don't actually get to start lifting for two more weeks (my gym won't open till then, using the interim to do research and learn). My goal is simple, but a very big challenge for me. I want to do one pull-up...and I don't care if it's the ugliest pull-up in the history of pull-ups. I have never been…
