:heart: thanks for sharing, honey ...... been there & done a lot of all that ..... but we keep on truckin' !

let's not get crazy .....

Lower New York State ..... Hudson River Valley ...... it is gorgeous here !

Ate an entire container of Nutella with a spoon ....... So good going down ...... not so good coming up :sick:

" ...... So should I just go ahead and workout, and let him jump in when he can? Is that mean?" yes, go ahead & workout ...... otherwise it's just an excuse ..... no, it's not mean ....

1 cup of veggies with breakfast ..... sauteed peppers & onions with eggs, for instance 2 cups for lunch ...... a chopped veggie salad with lean roast beef or turkey breast 2 cups for dinner ..... roasted veggies with fish or chicken And raw veggies with hummus for snacks :drinker:

Eat vegetables ...... raw, steamed, sauteed, roasted ...... they'll fill you up ..... with little extra calories :flowerforyou:

Outstanding accomplishment :drinker:

ooooh-la-la ....... outstanding :drinker:

Dinner ...... pot roast, potatoes, carrots, gravy ...... full-sour pickle ..... bottle of water :drinker:

We've all been there ........ I moaned & groaned about my weight (or turned a blind eye to it) for decades ...... until I hit an all-time high and saw a horrendous photo of myself the same day ...... nearly fainted :sad: But I immediately started making smarter food choices & cut out the junkfood. Yes, it WAS difficult…

Doing the Happy Dance for you ...... also having a drink in your honor :drinker:

JUST DO IT :drinker:

^ ^ We need to eat .... to make good, healthy choices at each meal, each day. We need to figure out what works for us, to discover what is "good" and "healthy" ...... because what works for me might not work for you. It's going to be trial & error for awhile ...... which is pretty exciting, I think :drinker: You start with…

You make me smile, honey ..... .thanks !

nothing ....... am beyond stuffed on 2 huge bowls of homemade chicken noodle soup ...... and a full sour pickle ......

So funny ...... Strax is absolutely my favorite out of that group :heart:

Murder mystery series by Victoria Houston ...... "Dead Lake" ...... "Dead Jitterbug" ...... "Dead Madonna" ...... you get the idea ..... quite a bunch of characters ...... reminds me of the movie "Fargo" ...... and lots of references to fly-fishing, boating, hunting, drinking and so on :drinker: Great fun !

Saw changes right away, both in the mirror and in my clothing ...... never said anything to anyone ....... it took losing 25 pounds before anyone verbalized it ...... I was excited to see the weight coming off ...... excited to buy smaller-size clothing & donate the larger-size clothes ..... I went to the gym nearly every…

BTW, you can always friend me if you'd like ..... have an awesome day !

Hey, Rene ! Best of luck to you on your weight-loss journey ...... be prepared to do a little bit of work as well ...... there's really no way around it ...... when you first start changing your way of eating, you need to plan, plan, plan ! If you can, clean out the junk from your cupboards, fridge, freezer ...... if it's…

Yummo ! Keep on the good work :drinker:

Didn't read all the comments as I'm on my way to work ....... but go to GROUPS ..... join up on "South Beach for Life" ...... South Beach is an easy way of eating. I was on SB website for awhile until they had troubles with their website, then I came here. I lost 40 lbs & kept it off. Still eat "beachy" ..... it's…

Well, if you keep on doing the same thing over & over again, expecting a different outcome ...... you are only kidding yourself. Make some REAL changes ...... and stick to them ! Then get back to us :drinker:

user deactivated .....

For years my coworkers have gone to Chili's ...... I used to say "no, thanks" but I always felt badly ...... Nowadays I go, because there are a few items I feel comfortable eating ....... grilled sirloin, mango chicken, grilled chicken salad ..... Eat light the rest of the day ...... drink plenty of water to flush out…
