CONGRATS!!! Today was that day for me as well! As of this morning I'm 299.7, but it counts! It's a fantastic feeling :)

Easter breakfast is the meal I wait all year for!! This feeds about 25 people to the point no one can move after, with some left over. Take: 1 large ham, roast, cool and cut into bitesized cubes 2 medium pork roasts, season with salt and pepper, roast, cool, cut into bitesized pieces 4-5 rings of coarse kielbasa, sliced…

I always add finely diced fresh mushrooms to my turkey burgers. You can't see or taste them, but they really help to keep the burger from drying out!

That sounds like my families big meals, minus the turnips, and add a second gravy that has lots of garlic and wild mushrooms, and add a calico bean recipe that has a pound of bacon in it...The meat balls have to be sweet and sour! OH! And if it's REALLY a special occasion there are potato and cheese perogies AND sauerkraut…

mmmmm.... bourbon chicken!!!

It depends on the day! If I have the calories I usually get the kids pack, so a really small popcorn, some kind of chocolate and a drink and save the chocolate for an emergency. If I don't have the calories (usually cause we're going out for supper after) I smuggle in "quiet" veggies, like pepper strips, cherry tomatoes…

Strawberry protein powder, frozen mixed berries from Costco, 1/2 cup of oj, 2 frozen spinach chunks and a bit of water to help with the blending!

I take a can of chickpeas (rinsed), add diced cucumber, red onion, grape tomatoes, feta, chopped black olives and the Kraft feta with basil and oregano dressing! I'll eat it like that, or put it on a bed of baby spinach! ps- It's even better day 2 when the dressing has soaked its way into the chickpeas!

^ Actually, sadly, very true!!! And it's not at all to put you down OP! My mom has always tried to "encourage" me to get healthier. I now believe that I didn't hear the ACTUAL words she was saying, just the very worst of the worst, and letting it fester in my head it got EVEN worse! I knew I was over weight! I knew that it…

Salami and grape jelly sandwiches on rye bread!

I have a black sundress, with yellow and white flowers on it... The last time I remember wearing it I was 20, but loved it so much that it's stayed hanging in my closet over the last 15 years, including 5 moves... With compression wear I can wiggle into it, but it looks kinda like a sausage casing, not like something I'd…

Hey! I've lost about 45 lbs so far, 35 of those since I came back to MFP, with a total goal of about 170....I log daily, have an open diary, and believe that I WILL be successful this time! I'm happy to have more active friends! Feel free to send me a friend request (Just put something in the message, as I don't accept…

Yay! That's a great NSV!

Real Christian thing to say! :( OP, Ignore that please.... Do things to take care of yourself!

Leftover quiche! I'd made it for breakfast yesterday, and there was some left, so it was a quick, easy and yummy breakfast! And a coffee from Tim Hortons! IT is Rrrroll up the Rim time, after all! Edited to add my coffee!

I have over 100 lbs to go, and am on MFP every day! Please send a friend request if you'd like!

I entered my starting weight in a BMI calculator (51.9), then redid it with my current weight (46.2). My BMI has dropped 5.7 points in a month and a half! :)

Hey! I just turned 35, and I'm planning to lose 170 total.... Aiming to 100 this year! I'm down 25 so far, and would love to have more active friends! Send me a request!

I started doing a mock version of what a "stressful" day's menu would look like, and stopped when I hit about 7000. And that was without adding everything..... I think the sickest thing I used to eat on an almost daily basis was a soup bowl full of chocolate peanut butter ice cream with at least a half a cup of melted…

:smile: Thanks!

^ Totally this! You look fantastic!

Another friend of his "hits on me" all the time, but does it right in front of him, and it's more funny then creepy. He'll tell my guy that one of these days I'll get sick of him then he's gonna make his move, or other things along those lines. It's not as threatening to us because it's out there for both of us to see....…

Me! But it's Friday afternoon, and really who works on the cusp of the weekend? Frankly I think I'm doing the world a favor. By actively NOT working, just think about how many errors I'm likely preventing.....

It really p*sses me off, cause he's super sweet and would do just about anything for anyone. People tend to try and take advantage. Kinda think that I'm gonna help him get a backbone! I read him the whole series of texts just so he know what was going on... figured if it was laid out there maybe he'd realize just how wrong…

Not so much.... My guy kinda warned me that a few of his friends are dogs.... For the record, my guy compliments me a whole lot, but he's blind, so his buddy figures it doesn't really count cause he can't actually see me...

I know ur happy and I dont wanna ruin wat u got, but ur pretty and i think someone needs to tell ya. ;) < From the supposed "best friend" of the guy I'm seeing.

Pepsi... I know it's technically a beverage, not a food, but it's my devil.... I can't keep it in the house. I need to stay away from it, because one sip leads to another, then another, then there's an empty 2 L sitting on my counter...

Oh my goodness! I've never heard of anyone else doing this! I"m more of a salami and grape jelly fan, but it's so close!! It started off as a pregnancy craving, but stayed with me, and my daughter is almost 6!

I add a little bit of the lemon lime crystal light to my hot green tea.... It took a bit of experimenting to find the right amount for me, but a single serving crystal light is enough for 4 big mugs of green tea usually!

Being a single parent can be super hard at times, but IMHO it has been worth every single minute! I can't imgaine my life any other way.
