Sodium is my biggest issue as well. At home not as big as when on the road calling on customers. I usually stop at subway and get a sandwich with around 300- 330 calories and thought I was doing great. Problem was when I started MFP and started tracking sodium I couldn't believe my "healthy" sandwich had about 1000 mg of…

I measure everything, doing that is the reason I am losing weight. I never really realized how much I was eating. I do wing it on the coffee creamer in the morning though - livin' on the edge!

Wife and I had a nice romantic valentine's dinner that was pretty good. Filet Mignon w/ grilled portabella's, Baked potato with fat free sour cream and green onions, Side salad. only 403 calories. Nice red wine is only about 120 calories per 5oz glass, we each had two. Could have added baked asparagus,but weren't that…

My wife and I called it getting "Sammed", Good for you!

Great progress! Keep on going you will just get better!

I played soccer in high school ran 4:58 miles and all that, but never would have made a marathon even then. Frankly, looks like a typical media stunt. Running to the point where you need medical attention makes as much sense as not eating to lose weight to the point you are taken to a hospital.

I love this sight because I can eat anything I want. We can all enjoy Girl scout cookies, not eat the whole box in one sitting (guilty in high school, but I could get away with it then). If I decide I want to have a few, I research the calories and make sure I exercise the negate the added calories. I do this with all…

Fantastic progress! Keep it up, you'll be at your goal weight before you know it.

Thanks for sharing! I will share with my friends as well!

WOW!

LOL

Absolutely YES! Not having one is most of the reason I'm on this site losing weight. I both measure and weigh everything as I am not always accurate with my "guestimates". I love to cook so I'm used to measuring ingredients accurately and even though I cook regularly I still measure to insure consistent quality in my menu…

Excellent progress - keep at it! My wife and I are doing this together, that sure makes it easier and way more fun. You guys look great!

Fantastic progress! Good luck getting to where you want to be!

Ignore his text. Most of all, remember that YOU control how things people do affect you. You can't control what others do, but you can control how you react to their actions. Only you can make yourself feel bad, so just let it roll off. Have a great Birthday!

You look ten years younger! Keep up the good work.

Kids can be brutally honest can't they? I have the same trouble with exercising, something always seems to come up. The only way I can workout is first thing in the morning. I need to get it done and out of the way or else I usually can successfully procrastinate about it and put it off because of "other important things".

Looks awesome Kerri, will be trying it for sure. Thanks for posting!

I like my oatmeal with cinnamon and half a banana.

I like to put Banana on my oatmeal with a little cinnamon.

Try Baking with a little olive oil, with crushed pecans and dried cranberry. You should be able to google it. I found it inline and modified to make it healthy, but it's a really nice combination.

Absolutely, especially in your eyes and face.

Welcome to MFP. I new as well (8 days). Would love to help out a fellow Ohioan!

Feel free to add me if you'd like. I am a few years older but same thing happened to me. Every few years need to get new pants, than had to do XL shirts, then suddenly realized I am 40 to 50 pounds overweight and borderline obese. I is certainly harder to lose the weight then it was when I was younger.

The difference is there, keep up the hard work! It just keeps getting better from here.

Sounds like a wonderful change for you. Hang in there and keep that positive attitude!

Great progress, you should be very proud! Keep doing what your doing and you'll get where you want to be.

Don't be embarrassed, you kicked butt! Keep it going you look great and much healthier.

Big time improvement, keep up the good work!
