Avocado and chicken. If I enjoy an entire avocado each day between lunch (with chicken) and dinner (with chicken) I am sooo full and happy. Change it up with the choices of veggies and dressing.

Cutting out fast food (and having a scale in my home that I can use whenever I want... even daily) has made me very aware of bloating. I VERY rarely eat fast food, but when I do I'm usually 2-3 pounds heavier the next day. It's all water weight, but I now recognize the sluggish feeling and the sodium overload of it. Even…

Beef jerky!

Mine is "hiding" in a nook in the bathroom.

I love all veggies - steamed, grilled, boiled - whatever works. Lately I have loved roasted bell peppers. Lately I've been baking them, then once they're charred you can pull them from the oven, stick them in a container and seal it for 15 minutes or so. Let the steam loosen up the skin. Remove the skin, and voila! I…

I was laid off April of last year. After only a few days the boredom had set in and the negative thoughts had taken over. I was my own worst enemy; I felt so down, and I just needed to DO something. I've always been the type to throw myself into work when I'm down (every now and then I also would indulge in some calorie…

Agh!! That must have been so scary. I'm glad the baby is okay and that you didn't suffer anything more serious. Treat yourself well during the healing process!

This is awesome!! I cannot stop laughing!!

Amazing story!! You look great!

You look great! Congratulations on your loss!

You can definitely block certain posts from certain people. Add her to a new "list" and then exclude the list from certain posts. Having negative people around is part of life, especially when it comes to family. It happens to all of us (I think?? LOL Most people I know have at least one meanie in the family - usually…

My running buddies, Wes and Emi (taken about a year ago):

Definitely a good tip.

I like to pack grilled chicken with a salad for lunches; then again, we have a fridge at work. When I was in school I used to take an apple or a banana for snacks, but I don't think I ever took a full meal. If I'm stuck with fast food I always get Taco Cabana - either two grilled fajita tacos or the original steak street…

I took a look and it confirmed my suspicions: Avocado Tomato Whole wheat bread slice

You look awesome!! Congrats!

I live in clothes from Macy's, The Limited, and NY&Company. The NY&Company stuff is cheaper but it also falls apart a lot faster. I go there for the super stylish things that I'll eventually be "over" anyway. I wear and wash my stuff from Macy's and The Limited at least once a week and I keep them for years. I thought…

I EAT! I love food and MFP has really just taught me to make better choices. Sometimes I go over, but it happens and I don't beat myself up over it. Always looking for more friends. :)

Good job! You look amazing!

Congratulations!! You look fantastic!

Bookmarked. The first page alone has nixed my sugar craving.

I usually gain 3-4 pounds a few days before I start and it goes away within 1-2 days of starting. I have very light periods. I've only been trying to lose weight for 6 weeks and I've had 2 periods in that time; both times I dropped all the extra weight plus a pound or two by the end of the week. I actually think that the…

Welcome to the site! I'm pretty active on here and comment often, so please add me as a friend if you'd like.

Beautiful! You should be so proud of your accomplishments! You have inspired me. :)

Try this: and make the "IMG" tags lowercase? And you look awesome!

You look fantastic! You should be so proud of your accomplishment!

I love your smile in the second pic. You look confident and proud and you SHOULD be! Fantastic work!

26 here. Feel free to add me!

I could not be happier with my Reebok RealFlex Optimals. I had been wearing the wrong shoes for a long time. No more cramps or shin splints. :)

Such a gorgeous girl! Congratulations on your success!
