Hello! I'm 5'9" and I can relate to what you're saying... As of today, I have lost 18 lbs. I can, finally, see a difference and my clothes, that were previously snug, are now fitting noticeably more loosely on me. However, I have yet to go down a size (i.e., pants). I fully expect that I'll need to hit a 25 lb. loss before…

I weigh myself every morning because it keeps me more accountable on a daily basis. I measure myself about once a month. Welcome to MFP and I wish you success!

You're looking great... Congrats!

Sounds wonderful! I am looking forward to trying your other recipes, as well. Thanks :flowerforyou:

Hi, Alissa! My name is Christina... Feel free to add me :smile: I will be turning 40 in October and have 55 lbs. to lose (to reach my goal weight). Let's motivate each other while we both countdown to 40!

Hello! I am down 15 lbs. from January 1st, but still have 55 lbs. to go. I log every day (good or bad :) and have an open diary (to friends). Feel free to send a friend request and we can encourage each other on this journey!

I love it as a substitute for sour cream... To me, it has that same acidic taste and, when used as a condiment, is very similar.

Hello & welcome! Please feel free to add me... always eager to make new friends :smile:

What remarkable progress... very inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story & pics. You look SENSATIONAL and I wish you continued success!

I log my food and I don't deprive myself when I have cravings, but I do try to keep them within my calorie limits. It's a struggle at times, but my main motivation right now is that Summer is just around the corner... My desire to look better is way stronger than any craving. I understand how you're feeling though and I…

Hi, Laura! I'm 39. Feel free to send a friend request, if you like :smile:

I made 'The Biggest Loser' Enchilada Chicken the other night and loved it... Only 162 cal. per serving, too! http://www.nbc.com/the-biggest-loser/exclusives/nutrition/chef_devin/recipes.shtml (It's the last recipe at the bottom of the page.)

I'm drinking Monkey-Picked Oolong right now LOL! Your description is spot-on though... can't say I'd buy this one, again. My favorite is Maharaja Chai Oolong.

Me, too! A little goes a long way... LOVE it!

I'll be 40 this fall!

Hi, Lea! I'm Christina :) Welcome to MFP. (Friend request sent.)

I don't log vitamins/supplements or spices used while cooking. Regarding exercise, I don't log anything that isn't a dedicated (for lack of a better word) workout (i.e., I won't log walking the dog or carrying laundry up & down stairs :)

Congratulations, you look sensational!

I switched to Blue Cheese Crumbles (1/4 cup = 80 calories)... The Blue Cheese flavor is still in the salad, but ends up being fewer calories (for me) because I would probably over-dress a salad with the dressing.

Incredible perserverance! You're gorgeous :D

I've only posted one pic, but will post others soon. I'm tall, too - just under 5'9". (I sent you a friend request :)
