For breakfast, cut a medium apple into thin slices. Add 1/2 C cottage cheese, and 1/2-1 t cinnamon. Stir and enjoy!

Great job!

Different kinds of BAKED oatmeal - rhubarb, apple, blueberry, mixed berries: Bake once a week, eat 4-6 days depending on size of piece. Warm in microwave for 1.5-2 minutes, top with dollop of Greek yogurt....and you're full until lunch.

1/2 C cottage cheese 1/2 tomato, diced 1/3 of whole green pepper, diced 1/3 of whole cucumber, seeded and diced seasoned pepper seasoned salt basil So tasty, especially when tomatoes are at their best!

Wow look at you with those pounds dropping off! I can see loss everywhere...look at the difference in how your shorts fit. You've lost lots in your tummy and tush! You should be so proud of yourself; don't worry if people don't notice or say anything. YOU know you're losing and becoming a new person.

You've always been a beautiful woman, always. Now you just glow. : )

You should be so proud of yourself!

Bump (too many good recipes to pass up!)

bump...Lots of healthy and not so healthy recipes on Pinterest. I always could the comments for additional tips on nutritional and taste comments before pinning.

These pics are all GREAT motivation, especially after the holidays and at the beginning of 2013. Congratulations to every one of you who posted photos (and those who haven't but are still on goal0! I wish MFP would have a once a month "Post your success pictures" tab! Wouldn't that be great?!

Haven't we all known all our lives that crumbs or broken pieces of ANY carbs have NO calories? Sheesh.

I watched several early seasons of Biggest Loser, and I noticed several things: At first I was inspired and awed by the contestants' dedication. Then I felt bad because there was no way I could lose 6 or 10 or 15 pounds in a week (c'mon). And finally, I wanted to eat and eat while watching (lol). I stopped watching.

Many many "attagirls" to you!

You give new meaning to strength of spirit. You're an inspiration for battling through all your maladies and for coming out on the other side a brand new you! Congratulations!

I found during chemo that I had great trouble concentrating on anything: I couldn't remember dates, had trouble reading and remembering the plots in books from one sitting to the next. I definitely would not sign up for any courses in anything either; some days it's an effort to just get up and get dressed to go someplace.…

I wish I could buy clothes at the same stores you all do. I've always been mystified by the size people say they wear. For example, Kirstie Allie in a size 6...in what universe does she live?

I'm doing this bump thing (but no grind....) ; )

My daughter, now 34, has been running competitively (and personally) since she was 10 years old. One New Year's she made a resolution to run 45 minutes every day for a year, and she went OVER a year with her streak. When I told her I was going to start a walking program, she encouraged me to do it first thing in the…

Common sense is key in advice about weight loss. Do your homework; read widely from reliable sources; make good choices about any advice and about food. Enough said.

What a life change...you're a new man!

I think we always believe we look younger than others our age. "I don't really look THAT old, do I?" I have white and I'm working on aging gracefully...accepting wrinkles, sags, parts that didn't work as well as they once did,...all worth it to have grandchildren. They bring smiles to your face and joy to your heart.…
