Peanut butter the devil? No way....Maybe devil'ed eggs or devil dogs or devil's food cake - lol :)

Chinese food but I usually get the same things every time. Sushi, shrimp & opt for fresh veggies made on the hibachi grill. Maybe a splurge or two :) Makes me laugh...God rest my dad's soul, but before I married my husband we used to joke that the love of Chinese food was a pre-requisite to marriage. Just celebrated 20…

Thank you

It was my opinion and not stated to be a fact! Thank you,

It is not my place to tell this person what to do only what has worked for me. I stated in my opinion this has worked for me, but it is just my opinion. Please elicit further...Are you saying that you agree or don't agree?

Most definitely take pictures; even if they are only for yourself. There may also be weeks where the scale doesn't budge, but you are losing inches. Just as awesome in the transformation of your body.

I think that most people usually eat or graze approximately 4-5 hours apart (just as an example) for instance, breakfast around 8:00, lunch around 12:00, dinner around 5:00 or so. I actually eat around 6 small meals like breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack!! Doing this, I am never starving or craving. But point…

Don't be sad. Friend request sent!

I'm no doctor, but would suggest doing upper body exercises and ab workouts til able to resume usual routines & try to make the best of your food selections to off-set any gain. Moist heating pad, stretching & elevating should give some relief along with following any pt suggestions. Not sure about volteran but may want to…

They sell some great pack it, freeze & go type insulated lunch bags. That along with an ice pack & pretty much anything goes!

The chopper. Great for quick chopping like onions and celery especially for omelets or salads like pasta salad, tuna salad or egg salad etc. Time saver.

Wrap them in a wet paper towel and microwave them til soft to squeeze. Average about 8 minutes. I like to add a small dab of butter & sprinkle with brown sugar. Perfection~

Skinny Margarita. Tall glass with lots of ice. 1 shot vodka, 1/8 tsp of Crystal light margarita drink mix or Great value -Walmart brand drink mix. If you can't find either, then two oz. of skinny girl margarita mix. 1 can of diet mountain dew. 78 calories

I try to walk every day during lunch at work for 20/30 minutes & do some kind of workout in the evenings at home. I used to leave my daughter in aftercare to go to the gym and strength train or do cardio immediately after work so it's out of the way. Now I invested in TRX system. Awesome to do in the comfort of my home.…

I don't eat with them. Oh yeah & jealous!

protein bars, yogurt raisins, trail mix & fiber bars ~ oh yeah and peanut butter. In stock at all times :)

If none of your other eating habits have changed than I would consider it the cause. Either continue to drink it with the affects if it is your preference or reduce the amount or limit it if you are not comfortable with the affects.

I've heard about the tooth enamel but always eat lemons after using them (can't resist) & never had an issue or been told anything other by my dentist. I also drink water with a squeeze of lemon frequently to vary plain water as I don't drink much of anything else; especially as the healthier option when eating out. Never…

Saw AL and I'm just minutes across the state line but too far south. Columbus, GA here. Feel free to add for an online friend if you wish.

I am maintaining for sometime now but have lost over 80 pounds & it is a major self esteem boost. Wonderful accomplishment to you!! Keep doing it for you & your health but as a healthy example for your children as well. Your husband will be pleasantly surprised :) Remember this feeling to continue to fuel your fire to…

1105~yeah I made it :) & congrats to you!

I lost 82 pounds & if I can do it, so can you! While on MFP alone I lost 50 pounds in 26 weeks. Average of 1-2 pounds per week is completely healthy but does require a lifestyle change. Calories in vs. calories out and the healthier choices the better along with dedicated daily exercise will be the determining factor. Log…

Your diary is not open to see what you are or are not consuming. Here is just one of a million articles with some very obvious reasons. Log everything you consume, ensure exact portion when logging & bottom line is calories in vs. calories out. Try to switch up the intensity or vary your workouts. Hope this…

This is a great way to add friends. Welcome...Fit and Fab and 44 here (lol). On MFP over 3 years ~ Feel free to add another friend. Diary open & log every day~

Radical transformation~you should be proud of yourself. I only know what it is like to lose half that amount of weight & it's like shedding another person. You look beautiful...Awesome and inspirational to many!

Wow, coming from someone who lost as much I know you are glowing from ear to ear and should be. You look wonderful & healthy~! Congrats to you in your success!

I love to slice zucchini & squash & sautee them in a lightly coated pan with (extra virgin olive oil) with sliced onions. I sprinkle some black pepper and garlic powder (not garlic salt) on them and they are awesome. I then had so many of them I started making that & adding my scrambled eggs to them. So delicious. Top them…

Kids love to make their own dinner. We grill and eat a lot of chicken. My daughter loves to make homemade tacos, burritos bowls, taco salads or wraps. She gets good protein from the chicken or if we made lean ground beef etc & then adds all the fixins that she's in the mood for. Lettuce, tomato, sour creme, shredded…

For Chinese: Chicken and vegetables and/or chicken chow mein. Small portion of vegetable fried rice but try so hard to skip the egg roll....maybe not. I would go for half :)

I never ever got acne, but realized when I starting increasing healthy foods and fruits and vegetables in abundance and then consumed a lot of tomatoes (sliced with breakfast, on a sandwich, in a salad or had tomato sauce) I get a break out or two immediately. It's an acidic vegetable that reacts that way to me. I can't…
