1200-1400 works for me. I don't feel hungry because I eat the RIGHT calories. a sample menu might be: breakfast: 4 oz chicken fried in half a teaspoon duck fat, scrambled eggbeaters and a large serving of shredded brussels sprouts. That's under 300 calories. I might have a small bowl of cereal later in the day, or a skinny…

you look beautiful :)

You've done great to lose that much :) About surgery, I know what you're going through, I had a dental procedure yesterday but i was put under general anesthesia for it for health reasons. I was really nervous... but it went fine :) Next thing I knew I woke up in recovery. Looking forward to pics of you up and about :)

You look fantastic - you have a healthy glow about you :) PS - I have those gray Uggs :>

Great job! I remember how happy i was when I hit Onderland :)

As a former binger (with very rare relapses), I can tell you that it does get better, and you CAN be happy and content without relying on food for those feelings. And the longer you go without binging, the less you'll think about it :)

I am roughly 40 lbs from goal, but I've lost more than 100 lbs, so I feel like I'm pretty much almost there. Best parts of losing weight: - increased confidence. I stand up for myself, ask for what I need, say no when I want to say no. I just feel more confident in general, and if asked to do something scary, my attitude…

You look fantastic - great job!

Oh, and I can hop over puddles now :)

Yeah, feeling my bones is cool. Feeling sexy and feminine is cool too - I hadn't felt that way for a while, it's nice to have it back.

Thanks, I added you :)

I have one "free day" a week, usually Sunday. I don't call it a cheat day because I'm not doing anything wrong. It has never slowed my weight loss, either. For me, it's been absolutely crucial, for a few reasons. First of all, if I'm craving something, I know it's no more than six days away. It's really hard to justify…

You look fantastic - love the outfit too :)

You look awesome - keep it up :)

haha, thanks. Yeah, that's basically it - I reduced my portions, ate healthier, and exercised. I've had people ask me how I did it, and when I tell them that, sometimes they look vaguely disappointed. Like they're thinking - wait, I have to WORK for it? It's not that new cow uterus enzyme? Keep at it LifeJacket - 43 lbs is…

You're beautiful :)

no, cause there's no pics :(

I like the tat idea.. Lots of sxe sounds good too. :)

You're doing great - keep it up :)

I'm not sure actually. I'm 36 lbs away. I have a bottle of Cristal in the fridge I could pop (and no, I'm not rich, lol, it was bought for an occasion but not used, and now it just sits in the fridge til there's an occasion of worth). Maybe some clothes shopping. I'm not sure when I'm going to hit it - I'm losing weight…

I just wanted to update, because I just hit 101 lbs lost :) 36 more to go to goal (125). So psyched :)

I'm at 95 lost, has taken me 15 mos so far. 42 lbs to go, stepping it up & hope to be at goal by this coming summer :)

I wonder if i could use Trader Joes light guac to make this... Would cut the cals a bit.

Fit into 13s nyself last week, it felt amazing. Congrats!

I want to redo my drivers license-its awful. It expires in 1 year, but i dont want to wait.

For someone who used to wear size 24 pants & XXL shirts, it's pretty fricking cool :)

It worked for me to a point - walking is all I was doing til about four months ago, and I've been doing this for 15 months. But four months ago I decided to do Jillian Michaels' Six Week Six Pack abs dvd, and it's done wonders. I'm still losing weight from watching what I eat and walking, but I'm getting definition and a…

Been working for me for 15 months :) mon-sat I'm at 1200-1300 cals (i know, i know, can we not start? Im not starving or deprived & it works for me). Then sunday is free day. Yesterday (sun) i had dim sum for breakfast, a latte, a big chipotle bowl for dinner, & a piece of cheesecake for dessert. Thats typical of sunday. I…

Didn't "earn" Halloween? That makes me sad.

I have a full size Reeses waiting for me for after dinner. Not sneaking it, just eating it :)
