  • I saw that someone else recently shared the idea of the "Paper Towel Effect" essentially that when you are bigger it takes longer to see the loss, but as you lose weight every lb has a great impact... I started at 290 and am down nearly 35lbs and am just now feeling that I can notice a slight change - more in how clothes…

  • Wow, this thread is seriously inspiring. I've been at my lowest adult weight about 3 years ago and pre-kids at 203. Reached 290 after 2 pregnancies in two years and am about 3 months into being very committed to getting back to a healthy weight. So far, have lost nearly 25lbs - counting calories only and will continue to…

  • Spaghetti Squash is a great option to substitute for pasta. Roast the squash in the over (sliced in half, open side down on a baking sheet) and cook at about 375 for 45 minutes - depending on size of squash.

  • I quit at the same time as starting MFP. I think that helped because gaining weight was always a concern with quitting smoking. As of this week it has been 2 months smoke free. Knowing the start date for diet/quitting smoking I started to cut back on smoking a few days ahead of time and then went cold turkey. First few…

  • Just tried a product called Better'N Peanut Butter (still contains peanuts but also I assume a good amount of soy)... it is 100 calories per 2 TBSP (and I only used 1 on my sandwich today). So good! Maybe because I haven't had peanut butter in more than a month... worth checking out, I found it at Target and it is in the…

  • I like to do an english muffin (Thomas 100 Calorie) with the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray (0 Calories) and some sugar free jelly (usually around 25 calories). Also a good weekend treat is the english muffin with egg beaters (30 Calories) and a slice of low fat canadian bacon (50 calories) and laughing cow cheese…
