Wow! A lot of responses! I would agree not to get one until you both want one. I love big dogs but I would also suggest - since you both work full-time - to rescue an adult dog that you would not have to house train, etc. Sitting in a crate all day is not a life for a dog, and a more mature one...once you can trust…

Oops...I was responding to jzalisa 's comment!! :happy:

Ha! THAT puts it in perspective!

Yup...like so many others have said...the most important thing is being honest with yourself about logging EVERYTHING you eat. It's amazing the strength you feel when you know exactly how your body reacts with knowing what you are putting into it. Feel free to "friend" me if you want some encouragement.

I'm starting this eating plan today. I checked with my doctor who gave me one copied, handwritten paper with a list of foods to eliminate! This book gives much more support than that! :-) I'm intrigued by the science and am ready to give it a try. If anyone is also trying this or having success with it, please friend me! I…

Mac and Cheese...HOMEMADE and delicious! I had way too much. I've had a crazy desire for it lately. And no...I don't regret the Merlot I drink at all either! I just listen to the good things red wine does for you and ignore the bad!!

I'm game!! Lots of my "originals" have gone by the wayside and I need some serious kicking in the butt! Let's do this.

I LOVE cilantro in my salads too!! For me it just MAKES it...takes a plain-tasting salad and gives it such a good taste!

Well done! You look like a totally different guy!

Feel free to add me! I would like to watch your success. My exercise right now is basically swimming every other day and walking in the morning or evening. That about does me in...the thought of a hard DVD right now makes me want to buy my head!! Good luck with your plan!

Wow! You look WONDERFUL! Congratulations on your accomplishment. What a thing you have done! Woohoo!

Holy Cow! You look great! Stay strong for maintenance! Good luck!

Also check out Clean Eating magazine. I like it for recipes and ideas. They also have a website: cleaneating.com

If you try Quinoa, which I really recommend...it's just as easy as rice to make...just make sure you rinse it really well before you cook it. One cup of quinoa to two cups of liquid...just like rice. One thing though...before I was dieting I would put butter on it and the flavor was fine but now that I'm limiting the…

Stacy...I lived in Coon Rapids for 3 years...when my daughter was 1 to 4 years old...she's 35 now! lol We were on 85th Lane NW

Wow, mrskatielong1!! It looks like you responded and thanked everyone who gave you a suggestion!! That's amazing and I'm really impressed! Good luck with kicking your "addiction"!! :-)

Bump ;-)

Your idea to get off diet soda is a really good one. I gave it up "cold turkey" several months ago and the best advantage for me is that I don't crave sweets like I used to! What a benefit!! One thing I do make for myself is sun tea made out of Good Earth Original Sweet and Spicy Herbal Tea Blend. It does not have any…

Great work! It shows especially in your face. I have just begun and need to lose a lot like you did. Would love to "friend" you...maybe some of your hard work will rub off on me!

Oh...just realized there are some over 100 pounds to lose groups already set up in GROUPS. I guess I will join one of them!

I'm new and could use some buddies who need to lose a lot as well! Hey... We should start an over 100 pounds group...don't know how to do that but it could be inspiring!

OK guys...I'm new to this...what the heck does "bump" mean?
