I think "Southern Hospitality" is more of a stranger-type thing, rather than once you actually get to know the person. On the surface, among strangers, I've found that in the South people are nicer than people in the North; you're more likely to have a person hold the door open for you in the South, or smile when passing,…

Meal prep is definitely a life saver! And your roasted snap peas sound so yummy!

Thanks for your input ladies! I have a lot of other allergies too, including a mild nut allergy and slight lactose intolerance, and I can't really eat red meat. Somehow, I've survived. lol

Bump! I'm digging these recipes!

My boyfriend is terrible about eating vegetables when I make them! I've heard about a lot of people that use a food processor to cut up veggies into small pieces and then just mixing them into whatever you're making for dinner!

TACO BELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Crunchwrap Supreme with beans instead of beef and a Frutista Freeze. omnomnomnom

Sounds awesome!

I'd recommend calculating your BMR and eating somewhere around there. Mine's around 1700 and my goal is 1550 each day. If you don't know what it is, Google it, or check out the group here on MFP called "Eat More to Weigh Less" and they'll explain it very well.

This is awesome!! Many thanks! :)

It's kind of expensive, but if you try SO Delicious Coconut Milk ice cream, you'll be hooked! It's absolutely delicious! For me though, I usually eat a lot of ice cream with my family, but if it fits into my calorie allowance for the day, why not? It's possible to lose weight by eating only McDonald's every day, you would…

My motivation is proving to myself and my family that I CAN do this, the healthy way. My entire family is OBESE, my younger brother is MORBIDLY OBESE and none of them have any desire to change. In the past, they've tried fad diets and lost lots of weight, but then resumed their normal lifestyles and gained it all back. I'm…

OMG. That is such an Epic Meal Time copy and I love it! It's like food porn.. lmao

Thank you to everyone who's shared recipes with me!! They sound wonderful and I can't wait to try them! I've read up about what can and cannot go into a crock pot, and I was sort of referring to pre-cooked ground meat into the crock pot, but thanks for looking out. :)

It's easy to log, but by not really deviating much, I know that I get bored and I'm more likely to "binge" and just eat foods that I usually don't eat. Definitely check out Pinterest!! It will definitely broaden the spectrum and even for picky eaters!

The wraps don't look like they'd be too bad for you, especially that vegetarian one. You could also order any of the salads really and just ask for the dressing on the side, that way you can control that; one of the best things about salads is that it's very easy to see what you're eating and even though you're eating out,…

Apparently toning and using strength building exercises will help with the excess skin aspect of weight loss. Also, if the weight is shed very quickly, it could result in a little "flab." I agree though, it's wonderful to take a step back and appreciate the things that you've accomplished, not simply always thinking about…

CRUNCHY PEANUT BUTTER. omg. so delicious. all the time. yes.

No cheat days, just moderation! I eat ice cream frequently throughout the week, as long as it fits into the goals I've set for myself. This is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE, not a diet, and if I can't have ice cream every once in a while in the hot Florida weather, then everything is hopeless.

My bright red Beetle has been affectionately named Rosie by a few friends. My theory is that it resembles rosy cheeks, but I've never been told exactly why. haha

My go-to cup has a straw too! It's so easy to just take a sip here, take a sip there and before you know it, the cup is empty and time to refill!

As for where I am right now, my boobs haven't seemed to get any smaller, even though I was almost certain they would! As it stands right now, they seem as if they're almost bigger than when I started! Congrats on your NSV though, I know that too much boob is definitely NOT a good thing!
-
If you're interested, you can try the Couch 2 5K program! I do it on the treadmill just to make myself able to run further, but I know some people who don't follow it exactly, but use it as somewhat of a motivator. Although, it does make you run and idk if you're interested in running as well or if you'd like to continue…

Your weight might go lower once it gets used to the calorie increase, but that'll take a few weeks to "re-adjust" before you see any difference. If you're happy with what you see, then stay at where you are! Strength training will change what you see a little bit too, and could make your weight go up a little bit, but not…

Hi, I'm Zoe and I'm a bread-aholic. I'm loving these suggestions! I'm going to give the bell pepper idea a shot!

It's finally reaching a weight with 1-- in the front!

The temp. thing definitely makes sense! Body fat acts like an insulator making you warmer, an example being almost any animal that lives in a cold climate (they're usually surrounded by a nice layer of fat to keep the cold out).
-
That is awesome!! I've had problems running due to my rather serious asthma and since the middle of May when I started to try to run, I can complete a mile walking/running in 13:30 which is probably one of my fastest miles ever. Definitely exciting for you to be able to run a 10 minute mile without stopping!!

Everything on your profile screams that you need to see a doctor. A million people could tell you that you're thin, but you're almost definitely not seeing it if you currently weigh less than 70 pounds and want to get down to 50 pounds. What I'm saying is that you need to see a doctor. I'm not sure if you will because you…
