Wow Jonathan, your story is amazing! You are proof that it CAN be done, and the "miracle" to doing it is changing your mindset. I too lost my father last year. He was an inspiration, having lost over 200# after age 50. You are also an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story!

Club on 9 grain wheat, 1/2 cheddar 1/2 pepper jack, evey veggie they have, extra on the green pepper, vinegar, no oil, salt and pepper. It's like a salad in a bun. Then again the Chipotle Chicken and cheese on flatbread with everything, Chipotle sauce on the side (I get it to put in on my hubby's stuff at home ~ he loves…

You guys have fun tonight!!! Wish I was closer to the Cities and my daughter *katsten on mfp* and I would join you. We are trying very diligently to eat healthier, wholesome foods and there just aren't alot of options we've found for eating out. We're a little north of Duluth on 'da Range, but if you ever do a Duluth Grill…

Wow what an awesome thread! So many great ideas. Roasting the veggies is such a great way to cook them and add a dash of healthy olive oil in the mix. I am very blessed that my 5 year old twin grandsons absolutely LOVE veggies and fruit. They chose grapes over a cookie the other night. We roast brussel sprouts (way…

I agree with lots of the above. The Greek yogurt (plain fat free) is a delicious substitute for sour cream. Great with frozen mixed berries and a hint of honey. I'm trying to broaden my veggie horizon. I dislike canned veggies and my Hubby really doesn't eat any veggies, so it is a challenge. What I have found out is that…

Pink grapefruit is my go to sweet (strange I know). My daughter swears by Weight Watchers Dark Chocolate Raspberry bars in the ice cream section. I tried them and they are nummy!! If you are into baking yourself, check out Devin Alexander's recipes (Healthy Decadence). Her double chocolate brownies are SUPER chocolatey and…

Chiobani Greek plain with frozen mixed berries and a touch of honey....huge bowl full for around 300 cals Bulk steel cut oats from our local health food store. Creamy, chewy and filling. Flat…

LP ~ What type (model?) of Capezio Jazz shoes did you buy? I'm looking on Discount Dance Supply website and there are quite a few different types. Did you find doing Zumba challenging the first few times? I have it for the WII, but somehow my Scandanavian genetics are not synchronizing with the Latin beat and hip action!!!…

Has anyone ever seen the commercial for Zicam (I think that's it). The lady is walking across a room (what looks to be a TV station) and she stops, does a partial squat (with her skirt on) and sneezes. EVERY time I see that commercial it makes me have to pee. If I sneezed like that it would be "insta puddle time". I hate…

OK, I feel like I copied JSheehy!! I made these tonight and they were AWESOME (I emphasize singing "awesome")! So moist and flavorful...and huge! Who would have thought a 1/4 pounder could turn out that big with all the goodies in it. I added a slice of reduced fat provolone cheese (yeah I know, double cheese). I also made…

Fantastic! What a confidence booster!

Definitely happier and with much more energy!! Eating better food, more often and not feeling hungry, even tho the calorie count of what I eat is so much lower than the garbage I used to eat. Yeah for roasted veggies!!! :laugh:

MMMM... just bought feta yesterday and garlic is always in my house. Sounds like supper tomorrow night. What did you have for sides, if anything?

Hey miss Jen ~ Diary is not bad. Getting in some high nutrition veggies. Good for you. What I can see is that you are too low on your protein. That will help keep you full longer. Also high on the carbs, which need to be used for energy, but just make sure they are high quality, high nutrition carbs. Check ingredient…

Sauted baby bella mushrooms have a great "meaty" texture and taste. Any leftover veggies~ especially roasted asparagus, broccoli and brussel sprouts. Roasting the veggies in a little olive oil gives them an entirely different taste. Yummy. Always some type of onion. For meat eaters, the Archer Farms chicken breakfast…

Just got off the phone with my 95 1/2 yo Gramma. Hope to see my almost 6 y/o twin grandsons in the next few days (they are just so busy with Kindergarten these days :laugh: !!). Yes, I am blessed!

Davy Jones from the Monkees. I was 5 and my parents took me to see the Monkees in concert. I still have 2 of their "albums". May he rest in peace.

Oh my goodness, you look FANTASTIC! What an inspiration for me. I could have written your story. Just turned 50, same 6th grade lineup, begging the teacher to let me be last to weigh in. I am at the start of my journey (again) but this time I am doing it with my beautiful daughter who is turning 30 in a few months. I see…

I live in Virginia and go to the Goodwill store every week. Both of my computer chairs and a majority of my books are from there . It's just a great store to check out with friendly staff. I am sure I see your sister in there all the time.
