I like them with Spike seasoning salt. Also Lawry's salt (I know Lawry's has sugar in it...but it's so good!).

Big difference in a short time! Did you do 30 days straight, or did you have some rest days?

This ^^^. I use parchment paper in a dark enamel (shallow) roasting pan--easy clean-up! I use olive oil, fresh cracked pepper, sea salt, wedges of onion and sometimes rosemary or another herb. Roasting caramelizes the veggies...yum.

Alcohol-wise, I would opt for beer in a bottle, so that you can track the calories accurately. Mixed drinks tend to be calorie bombs, and you can never be sure how much of each ingredient the bartender uses. What I find most dangerous about drinking is the more I have, the less I care about how much I eat...

I try to stay around 1400, even though MFP put me at 1200. Haven't gotten off my butt and started exercising yet, but plan to eat at least some of those extra calories when I do! I have lost 5.6# since 1/1/13. I'm 47 years old, between 5'5"/5'6", with about 30 more pounds to lose. Most days, staying around 1400 isn't a…

Dellmach, thanks for tallying our stats! What format do you prefer for our weekly numbers, to make it easiest for you to put in Excel? Maybe like this? Week #1 [date] +/- 0.0 Week #2 [date] +/- 0.0 Week #3 [date] +/- 0.0

I have a glass Weight Watchers scale (manufactured by Conair), Model WW35. It's probably 5+ years old. - Takes a CR2032 3V battery - Can set for kg or lb - Can store up to 10 user profiles (height, age, gender) - Measures body fat % - Very easy to use - (2) 8# dumbbells read as 15.9# (the slight inaccuracy could be the…

Love your encouraging and inspiring post. You look great...I would have guessed you lost a lot more than 40 lbs, from your head shots. Sounds like you've found a balanced and healthy way to be successful with weight loss (and eventually maintenance) in the long run. Congrats!

If you search for 'shoe wallet' online, you'll find lots of pockets that attach to your shoelaces with Velcro or a clip...usually big enough for an ID and keys. In addition to wrist and ankle bands, Road ID also has a shoe pouch with the engraved ID tag attached. I think it's important to have your emergency contact…

Good for you--that's great progress! I figured out that my home scale measures body fat % too...wish I'd known that for my "official" start on 1/1/13.

March, 2012: started on a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) plus putting my body in Ketosis. I was netting 800-900 calories per day. In the first two weeks, I was down 16 pounds. Pretty sure it was eight pounds of water weight and the other eight was my brain slowly leaking out of my ears. I was miserable all. the. time.…

Spinning is a fabulous workout. If you don't like it the first time, I recommend giving it a couple more tries. It can take a while to get used to the bike/seat/pedals, especially if you don't ride an "outside" bike. I hated my first class, but finally went back and was hooked. As with any exercise class, finding an…

Dramatic and motivating before and after pics! Thanks for keeping me inspired.

Thanks for posting your photos. Although I am 20 years older than you, I'm also 5'6" and currently at 171.1 (your "before" weight). My current goal is about 145--it's motivating to see how great you look around that weight. Good job!

Got it...now that I figured out I hadn't yet clicked the Join Group button! Thanks for being our group leader...you have a lot on your plate. Figuratively speaking, of course!

I'm on board. No more "I'll start over on Monday" or back-sliding for a day (or week, or month...) after slipping up. Gonna get right back on track. We can do this!
