My personal trainer insists and asks me every time how much protein I ate within the hour before I came in to work out. Then he also insists that I eat again within the hour after I finish working out to make sure plenty of protein to burn and not muscle for all the exercise done. My diary is open and you are welcome to…

What an awesome transformation you have undergone with your weight loss. I can only imagine your self-confidence and the way you present yourself when you walk into a room full of people is absolutely no where at the same level anymore. You can shop for cute clothes anyplace you want and not have to go to "fat" women"…

You are looking so much better my friend. WTG!!! I don't totally agree with your friend that goaded you into posting pics though. We are each individuals with different feelings. People post pics on here because they want to share and get comments, so why shouldn't we look at them when they wanted to post them. Just my two…

Love MFP also, just wish I had found it sooner in my life. But, no use crying over spilled milk. I found the site I think in May of this year, and I will be on it as long as I can sit at a computer or it is still available!!!!!

Wow, terrific!!!! And I am proud of my measly 22 inches lost total overall. Can't imagine how happy I will be when I can equal yours! WTG!!!!

Believe it friend. You are looking great! WTG and kudos for improving your health.

Oh my what a difference a year made in your size. Keep up the good work!

Terrific post and congratulations on all that you have accomplished in only 365 days! Awesome! There is no food in the universe that could give you the joy you must be feeling with each of these accomplishments. I mean they are not small ones, but gigantic ones in my book!!! WTG

I have been making roasted brocolli for about 2 years, but not added the lemon zest or juice. Will give this one a try. Thanks

Add me to the list of ones who will be making this recipe very soon. Can't wait!

I am so happy for you and what a wonderful NSV you had! Keep up the good work my friend!

Wow! What a transformation! WTG!!! You do look really great, and I love the black dress. Congratulations.

Absolutely awesome work! I so love the last pic you posted - priceless!!!

Today I will stay on track because I have goals to be reached and the only way I can achieve them is to eat healthy and journal every bite. Thanks for starting this thread, very inspiring.

What pride you should take in all the hard work you have put in to accomplish your weight loss and total transformation. You are not alone in not being able to see the huge difference that we all see. For some unknown reason, many of us feel the same way about our own bodies. Yet we spot it instantly on others. Hang in…

Bump to continue the reading of this thread

teeheeee Better than not being able to make it go on your finger! You are doing it girlfriend!!!

Wow, great victories indeed!!!! You are doing terrific, so keep it up! It just don't make logical sense about upping calories to lose, but I am a believer that sometimes it works.

Gosh, wish I had your problem and you had a different one - lol. I agree about eating more calories from foods like peanut butter, pasta with marania sauce, use some salad dressing. No problem for me at all to get enough calories in my day. GL

Have done this many times but have just not added the lemon juice. Will try and probably will like even more. Way better roasted than any other way!

My efforts = My success!

Terrific job! WTG!

Whenever i plan to eat/not eat something,or change my habits in any way, i think to myself "can i really do this for the rest of my life", and if not, i dont do it. Thge reasoning behind this, is that if i lose the weight but dont keep the same habits that i use to lose the weight, i'll just put on weight again and be in…

You say you REALLY WANT TO make it stick this time. If that is a true statement, you can do it just like the rest of us. It will not be necissarily easy, but doable. Look at all the successes. You are the one who controls what you chose to eat, or not eat. Your dedication to becoming a healthy weight = the amount of effort…

I can see a big difference over your whole body, not just your face. Keep going! Scales lie, tape measure results don't!!!

Bump, want to try some of these when I am in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing.

I personally think the key for you would be to never go on another diet in your life! Just do a lifestyle change and that will carry you to where you want to be and something you can live with forever. Eat healthy foods, lots of veggies, fruit, protein, drink 8 glasses of water a day, and exercise. Calories in, calories…
