Started at 26, now a size 12.

Hi there! I have yo-yo dieted all of my life since I was in my 20's, even lost and gained the same 100 pounds once. I believe the one thing that has made me successful this time is that I have dropped the "all-or-nothing" attitude. if I have a bad day, I just brush it off and start over the next day. I will have "cheat"…

174 2 years....close to goal so now its slow going

1. Ground Beef 2. Chopped Tomatoes 3. Onions 4. Peppers 5. Greek Yogurt 6. Frozen Berries 7. Steak 8. Broccoli 9. Dark Chocolate 10. Nuts

Love Kombucha :) Would drink it everyday if it wasn't so expensive. I like to drink it when I want a fizzy type drink. I use it as my "soda".

Banana Pancakes 1 Banana 2 Beaten eggs cinnamon (optional) Smash the banana, add cinnamon , then add beaten eggs. Mix well. Fry like you would regular pancakes, but do in small batches. You can also add 2 Tablespoons of almond butter for more protein if you want. With fruit and bacon this is a pretty filling meal.

I'm not at my goal weight yet (27 pounds to go), but I've been doing Primal since March 2011, and started my weight-loss plan in August 2010.

You're going to love this store! I've been there three times since it opened. The only problems are that the parking is tight and its very crowded.

73% Dark Chocolate with Almonds Stone Ground Dark Chocolate New Mexico Coffee Free-Range Chicken Uncured Bacon Applegate Farms Organic Hot Dogs Potato Chips made with Olive Oil Diner Mac and Cheese Bananas Kerrygold Butter for cheap Coconut Oil Coconut Milk They have a good selection and prices on: Cheese Almond Butter Nuts

I started out @ 329. I have 23 pounds to go to have a "normal" BMI. It can be done and I love to eat :)

Kerrygold butter, at a price cheaper than the grocery store. Good cheese selection at a good price. Spices. 73% dark chocolate with almonds. Diner Mac and Cheese for my boyfriend.

Ditto the Fage Total. 2% Fage is OK in a pinch (there is only one store that carries Fage Total in my area).

I like it right off the spoon :) I also use it to make almond banana pancakes: 2 eggs Banana 2 T Almond Butter Cinnamon (optional) Beat eggs. Mash banana. Add eggs and banana to almond butter, mix well. Fry in pan like you would pancakes. Yum!

Feel free to add me. Been doing Primal for over a year, tried to give up dairy but I like it too much....:smile:

Full-fat Fage Greek yogurt. In general full-fat Greek yogurt of any kind is hard to find, there are only two stores in my area that carry it.

I drink my coffee black, on rare occasions with cream or half and half. I drink my tea plain.

77 since March of 2011.

water, green tea, and black coffee everyday. Kombucha once or twice a week. Rarely I will have coconut water.

My boyfriend is awesome. I gained over 100 pounds since I met him and he never made me feel awful about it. Even when I was at my heaviest he would tell me everyday "I love you". Now that I am thinner than when I met him, he tells me all the time how he is so proud of me. He brags to his co-workers about my weight loss :)

I'm donating blood in June, I will be bringing almonds or dark chocolate.

IMO your total cholesterol and LDL numbers are good. I take fish oil and my HDL went from 35 to 50. Again IMO, to lower your triglycerides, try reducing your carb intake. My last blood results in January showed my triglycerides at 37. Hope this helps :)

42 5'2" 165lbs Size 14 (which I haven't been that small since the mid-90's....lol)

1-2 rarely three, no snacks

I like Trader Joe's 73% w/almonds (they also have w/o almonds). Its organic and awesome also! For the most part I try to eat 80% and above (less sugar). Supermarket brands I recommend are Green and Blacks and Lindt

73% dark chocolate w/almonds Kerrygold butter @ $2.99 vs $5.00 at supermarket Coconut Milk w/no additives (just wish it was full-fat) Cheese!! Decent Greek yogurt Mac and Cheese for the BF Himalayan salt Uncured bacon Free-range chicken @ reasonable prices Grass-fed hamburger patties (when I cannot get to the farmer's…

I eat mostly 2 meals a day. On occasion I will eat 1 or 3. Never more than that, I try not to snack, but it works for me.

I love dark chocolate!! I like different brands (70% cocoa and above), but my fave is Trader Joe's 73% w/almonds. Theo brand makes dark chocolates w/ coconut, cherries, almonds, or mint. Another good brand is Fearless. Lindt or Green and Blacks are good supermarket brands. Let me stop now I want chocolate...lol

I follow Primal, my diary is open so feel free to look.

No...but last year before eating primal I had those veggie hot dogs......yuck!!!! :)

I recently broke a month long plateau by doing a 24-hour fast (breakfast to breakfast).
