I like Asian lettuce wraps like PF Changs.. here is a good recipe http://www.eat-yourself-skinny.com/2012/03/asian-lettuce-cups.html

Was 309 at my heaviest in 2009 and am currently 209

I clicked on this post because of the title. I love that you said I AM AWESOME. You truly are awesome, now OWN that awesomeness and stop calling yourself a dork and a nerd. You kick A**. Keep it up! Woo hoo!

Fargoan here..

I feel like I have lost 80 pounds from my head..now if another 80 would come off the belly, that would be OK! I am actually 100 pounds down from the original pic that was taken at my heaviest. Am currently at 209. Great job everybody!!

PJ's organic skinny chicken burrito (got them at Costco) topped with salsa and sour cream Pineapple and lowfat cottage cheese

Put me in the boat with you all,, feeling stuck for the last couple of months. Yesterday I cleaned out my closet of almost all my old clothes from a year ago and I tried some stuff on. That was a huge boost! I have to remember I have come a long way. I was drowning in those size 24's when I put them on yesterday! (I am…

Turkey slices wrapped around a dollop of guacamole

This recipe totally satisfies my craving for egg salad. I leave out the mayo and yogurt it calls for and add onions. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/04/avocado-egg-salad.html I also add a some of this: http://www.amazon.com/Frontera-All-Natural-Guacamole-Mix/dp/B000NKB3BM Heaven if you love avocados...

Can't decide what I am in the mood for.. Pinot Noir or Chardonnay...

I know it isn't as cost effective, but I have noticed that there are more healthy choices in airports these days, raw nuts, fresh fruit, greek yogurt among other things.

I am from ND and have only visited Hawaii once about 2 years ago. We stayed on the north shore and plan to go back to the same spot next winter.. can't wait to experience Hawaii as a healthier more active person!

Zucchini Spaghetti

I sort of eased my way into it. I felt too threatened to just stop all my unhealthy habits all at once. It was mostly a mind game to start out with. I would just tell myself, if I wanted to have something unhealthy I could if I wanted to. As I started seeing a few pounds come off, it motivated me to make more healthy…

40 pounds is an awesome accomplishment! Focus on your measurements, how your clothes are fitting, and like others have said, your BMI. We have about the same weightloss goals, and honestly people didn't start commenting on my weight loss until I had lost closer to 50 pounds. I am losing it everywhere on my body except the…

THIS! Ugh.. the side view bursts my bubble everytime.. At least pictures no longer make me cry. I actually take a lot of pics of myself in outfits now because the mirror is a liar!

If you do a search for Trader Joes, I think there is another thread where people list their favorites and you can get more ideas..

Clearly you and I are looking at two different packages. The salad I was referring to has only 1 serving. I took a picture of the label after your comments just about gave me a panic attack. I am pretty diligent about reading labels

At work I needed to go up to the 2nd floor. I walked up 3 steps and I felt as light as air... I was so excited, I ran all the way up the flight of stairs and wasn't even winded when I got to the top! I used to take the elevator.

Spicy Chicken and bean soup. I have this in the crock pot right now.. http://reallyeating.areavoices.com/2012/11/03/spicy-chicken-and-bean-soup-an-original-recipe/

Not low carb, but has healthy ingredients http://greatist.com/health/recipe-oatmeal-banana-bread-022312/

Meatball and spaghetti soup.. add orange peppers... made me make all kinds of happy noises when I ate it. Used cheese tortellini instead of spaghetti...delish http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/03/meatball-and-spaghetti-soup-5-ww-pts.html

My pants that are 3 sizes smaller than when I started this journey were feeling a little baggy today.. time to try the next size down? I put on a necklace that I received as a gift 2 years ago and couldn't wear it because it choked me. Today it hung down perfectly. Went to the gym and lifted even though I have cramps and…

I have an old school crock pot and I can drop a whole squash and nothing else into it before I go to bed. Set it on low and in the morning I can open up the crockpot and the squash is soft to the touch. Slice it open and scoop out the goodness..done deal. Salt, butter and pepper is how I like it best. It is really…

Here is a before and some during..

I wouldn't even describe my physique as an apple..more like a meatball on a stick! I feel like most of the weight I have lost is from my face/neck and butt/legs. It's frustrating when you just want the belly to go away. According to my measurements I have lost 7 inches on my waist, so that is super encouraging. I have only…

Thanks for sharing!

Fast food! No more drive thru's for this girl. Oh, and soda pop.. not even diet.
