I'm doing the Turkeyday 5K in the morning, and then my plan is to load up on turkey meat and TRY to make all of the side (carby) dishes minimal.

So beautifully said. So inspiring. Congratulations on your success inside and out!

Rarely. It's definitely a personal thing. If you graphed my weight loss over a period of time, it would consistently go down, but it would be an up and down-down process. My weight fluctuates so much, that if I weigh my self daily, or even weekly-I get so discouraged. Everyone is different, but this is what works for me. I…

salmon burger and homemade cream of carrot soup...yum yum

That is so exciting!! Beautiful color on you. Great work!

Wine, cheese, frozen ahi tuna fajita mix, breakfast muffins, homemade tortillas, humus, dolmades.....I could go on and on:)

Great post!

You are such a wonderful inspiration!!! Very happy for you and what a great gift on Mother's Day!!

You're my new favorite mfp person;)

I just completed day 16 this morning. I took measurements and weight as well. Congratulations on your success. These type of posts get me so excited for day 30 and to check my results. Fingers crossed mine will be as good as yours!

I'm pretty sure that's how I ended up on this site trying to lose over 100lbs.

Wonderful, sweet story! I love it! Good for you both.

Wonderful diagnoses....perhaps you should have your doctor check you out!!

Butter. I've always used real butter. I KNOW it's healthier then margarine. I'm not a big butter eater, but when I do add some-it's the real deal.

About...wow!, I guess nearly 10 years ago, I had lost just shy of 100lbs. The doctor I worked for one day asked if I had lost weight...at that point I had lost 80lbs. I laughed and said...yeah, 80lbs. In my defense though, I'm a dental hygienist and it's hard to tell in scrubs. But, it is disheartening when you've worked…

You look amazing-great job!!

I'm a dental hygienist and your situation is what we call "emergency appointments"...we see them ASAP. I agree with the other posters....get in somewhere else, to get out of pain. The last thing you want is to wake up with your cheek swelled up like a chipmunk, and feeling worse than you already do.

This actually is one of my fondest memories. My son, who's now 16, was about 6 at the time, and we were lying on my bed chit chatting. He said, "Lacey is skinny." (Lacey is his cousin, around the same age, and very tiny) To which I replied, "yes she is." He continued..."you're not skinny." I responded, "no, mommy's not…

Thanks for the recipe. I usually just toss them into the freezer, skin and all and use them later for banana bread or smoothies.

What an idiot!! People can be so stinkin' rude. I'm impressed at how you handled yourself, you should be very proud. I bet you looked awesome in those jeans. Wish I wore a 16:) I was at Walmart this week buying socks and underpants for son...wonder if she would have shown me to the women's intimates. LOL!!

Well done! I can really see a difference in your face.

I've been down this same ol' road many times before as well. I too have over 100lbs to lose. Feel free to add me:)

Wednesdays are "Starbucks Wednesday" for my son and I when he's in school. So tomorrow we'll start "Starbucks Wednesday" and I will have a 16oz soy latte and a reduced fat turkey breakfast sandwich. Soooooo excited:)

Welcome. I was on here awhile as well before I began adding friends. I've found that it really does help. Hope your journey continues to go well and feel free to add me:)

I did MFP w/o friends, now this time with friends. I think it is a big help. I enjoy writing on my friends posts, as much as I enjoy reading what they have written. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

I didn't realize that people ate the skin on a kiwi. I guess I'll have to give it a try. I mean I do eat the fuzzy skin of a peach. Or you could just eat the middle and leave him a pile of your kiwi skins since he likes them so much. Kind of like eating fried chicken or a cupcake when I was a kid. I'd just eat the crispy…

Holy Crap!!! Seriously?!!?!!...you look awesome. Thank you for sharing your story, I loved reading it.

Great stomach!
