you look great, wonderful job! i swear you look younger even. (the girls look fantastic, btw)

......did some1 call my name?

fantastic job!! i like your new 'do too!

i actually know what you are talking about...it seems like the other posters don't know what you're talking about. my mom was always at a normal weight. i had a friend in middle school say you are so lucky your mom is thin. Now granted, I have never thought of my mom as thin...she was just mom. Her mom was extremely…

my fav place has the following on the menu: grilled chicken breast (w lime and yummy mexican spices) served with rice and beans. I would personally opt for no rice and get a double serving of beans but that is just me :) count out the tortilla chips you eat. May want to wait until your meal arrives to have any so you can…

dramatic transformation, not just in your size but even your skin. You don't look so happy in the 1st pic but look for very content in the 2nd. way to go on our weightloss!!

Not concerned with popularity I see :)

yeah, yeah, i know. pretty much use to it by now :p

this is the one imo: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/avocado-shrimp-ceviche-estillo-sarita/detail.aspx read the people's reviews to get a sense of what you personally are looking for and what suits your taste preference. I do recommend letting it sit in the lime juice for a few hours and using some finely minced jalapeno…

i've done this and highly recommend them too. the lime margarita mix is incredible w vodka.

my go-to drinks are brut champagne and vodka martinis (these are crazy low in carbs), but search the database and check out the cals too.

i use my margaritaville maker. i've never tried adding vegs tho. i like that i can add the shredded ice to my smoothies.

chicken noodle or miso soup. i usu can't taste much, but these are comforting to me.

i feel that drinking water helps me stay satiated and feeling full. some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you. I strive to have more optimal days than not. when i have a day that i feel wasn't how i want it to be I try to evaluate it and think of what i could do differently when i will be in that…

i just recently purchased a misto sprayer. 1 second spray is equal to 1/4 tsp of oil...i would assume the other kinds of oil sprays would be similar.

it's in the MFP database and lists the cals for it...which aren't 0.

Yes, I heard this too. I was vegetarian for almost 8 years. When I began eating meat again, I had different kinds all at once: lamb, chicken, beef, shrimp. Neither I or my husband got sick. Maybe it's like that for some people, but it was not our experience AT ALL. I think it's more likely a mental thing. There is nothing…

you're right - i shouldn't assume every1 wants a life partner....surely not all do. [quote this kind of offends me. like a person cannot possibly be complete, happy, fulfilled and full of self love if they aren't looking to get coupled up. also, not wanting men to talk to you based on nothing but your looks... that's not…

something about your post kind of bothers me. i feel like you aren't looking for love! You deserve love : we all do. You say that you are on a new spiritual path. I don't know to which path you are referring but maybe you could find a church, synagogue, meditation house, coven, Buddhist temple, mosque, or explore Seattle's…

holy crap that is so far from a Southern Easter menu :) honey baked or peach-glazed ham green beans english peas scalloped potatoes prob baked sweet potatoes too pecan tarts i dunno what else. my mom makes most of it still :)

well, i am having a piece of cornbread w breakfast :) we've gone through our veggies from last years garden so our meals don't look quite as kuntry. Garden will be planted in a week or so. This summer it will be all about field peas, green beans, corn on the cob, okra, limas and tomatoes. I can't wait for tomatoes! IMO…

pretty sure he'd be hot doing the funky chicken.....

*IF* i were you and there were scheduled times you run but you can't get outside...I would do a workout indoors like a workout/aerobics video (there are a lot on youtube). That way you are still doing something aerobic, but it isn't dreadful like running in place. Best of luck w your training!

the poison is the dose - not the substance

to those looking for vegans, there is more than 1 vegan group here on MFP.

ice cream, it's crack to me. if i really want something i grab a cone from McD's which I can easily fit into a day, but it's not at home in the freezer beckoning me.

u have found the path, just keep following it! great job on such a transformation :)

look @ your tiny waist now!!! congrats, i know u worked for this :)

there is a way to make them in the microwave v very lil oil...not like frying them at all google search potato chips in microwave they also sell various types of Tupperware-like contraptions that i've seen on amazon so that you can fit in more potato slices at once. i would also try baking some. we've done this before and…

That is awesome!! I personally cannot wait for that moment. I am currently 5 lbs shy of it. I'm so close, I can taste it...(well maybe that isn't the best phrase for this situation LoL). I may just cry too. Congrats!!!
