Yay! That's awsome.

Hahaha this is a great thread, "Help identify the mystery meat". It's kind of exciting actually. Oh, and it sounds like you got your answer already but my vote is for pork too :)

Good for you! I noticed your smile in your last few photos are much more "smiley". You look so much happier! Congrats on your weight loss and keep working hard, you're doing something right :)

P.S. Thank you for the stretching ideas! I have had the importance of stretching drilled into my head since middle school but I'm still one of those people who forgets sometimes.

This group is a great idea....can I join even if I'm a bit late and doing a different program (RunningMate 5K101)? :P I won't be running today but I plan to start tomorrow. I have started C25K a few times but never finished. The most recent time I had to stop due to complications from a colonoscopy. I'm doing better but I…

Hi! I'll be your twin. I'm 24 SW: 257 ( I have been up to 283 before though but it's been several years). CW:242 GW: 198 (under 200! yes!) UGW: 170 to 180 I haven't decided yet. Feel free to add me!

oops..I messed up. How do you delete a post?

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, its really hard to loose a parent. Good for you for getting back on the wagon and taking charge of your weight loss again after such a trumatic time. Have you tried drinking a cup of tea or some water with lemon juice in it? Those both help me when I'm craving food at the end of the day…

The people above me posted really good ideas and are things I eat myself but since someone already mentioned those.... GF Breakfast bowl (some people might find this weird I don't know, but this is a breakfast staple for my boyfriend and I): basic composition- starch (quinoa/rice) protein (marinated tofu/cooked ground…

If you are just starting out I would make sure to get my rest days. If you're feeling pumped and have the energy/ aren't too sore that's great but don't burn your self out trying to do too many exercise programs at once. Its totally up to you but listen to what your body tells you, it would be a shame to start all that…

Haha that's a great NSV. Keep up the hard work!

Woo Hoo! Look at you! You look great, good job :)

Bump! I know someone already mentioned fatfreevegan.com but I just want to say that I have used her recipes many times and love them! She includes nutritional information for most of her recipes so it makes things easy. http://www.theglutenfreevegan.com is a good site too. Shes from Canada so it might be a good site for…

You look great! Good job. Also, I just wanted to say I love your style :) You and your hubby look very cute together.

Interior Alaska, USA!

You look great and it's good to hear that even with your ups and downs you have stuck with it. Great job!

I'm around 240 right now I think ( I don't own a scale) and I wear a size 16 pants and XL tops. The pants are getting kind of loose on me though (yea!)

Wow! you look great! That's a great transformation in a short amount of time. Keep up the good work :)

What an amazing story. Its a bit odd to feel proud of a stranger but I am so proud of everything that you have overcome. You are beautiful inside and out :)

Yes! This is perfect. I need to branch out more :)

Wow! You look great before, you look so happy in your first photo and after, well you just look awsome. Keep up the good work!

I don't know if this quite counts as a smoothie, but I just bought protein powder (chocolate) for the first time ever and I blend two scoops of that with one banana, 1 cup soy milk, 6 ice cubes and 2 tablespoons PB2. It tastes like a chocolate peanut butter milk shake so its really good for when I'm craving something sweet…

Hi Howie! WOW, you look great. I'm not against gastric bypass surgery, you obviously had a lot of weight to loose and it seems like it was the best decision for YOU. That's the important thing. Good luck on the rest of your journey!

Thanks! I've been meaning to make hummus but I had no idea what the nutritional facts for it are. Glad to know its got some good carbs. Great ideas everyone, thanks!

Mmmmmm...love quinoa. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Do you have any recipes or a favorite way to eat it?

Thanks for the ideas! I don't have any gluten free cereal right now unfortunately, but next time we go into town I'll buy some just in case. jeanienherndo- I know what you mean. I'm over on sugar everyday too. If I eat an apple and a banana in the same day I'm over, its crazy! I manually changed my settings so my protein…

Hummm...I just found their web site the other day and have been checking it out. It's pretty sweet. I'd like to know what others think as well.

Are you kidding? That's a GREAT NSV! Good job and keep up the good work :)
