  • Their ground pork is fairly lean, and not difficult to make your own fairly low-cal sausage patties. Look up Biggest Winner Sausage Patties. Baby carrots, broccoli and spinach are staples for us, and the superfood salad is also popular with us.
  • My weight varies up to five pounds between morning and night. Don't sweat it! The number on the scale isn't the important part anyhow. I've been back on MFP for about six weeks, have lost eight pounds, but I feel like I've lost more as my pants fit differently.
  • Welcome! I'm even heavier than you are, although my goal is to just get to 200 again. My problem is portion control in general, but MFP is helping with that a lot, making me think before I eat.

This has been challenging for me, it takes awhile to chase the…
  • I find sandwiches don't satisfy me. We usually bring supper leftovers (just a smaller portion). This week I'm hoping that at least one of my bbq turkey burgers makes it to my lunch bag. :) I bought ground turkey at Costco this week, the burgers came out great. I just need to make them a bit smaller as I didn't account for…
  • My breakfast nearly every morning is egg whites with pretty much any veggie I have on hand. I always have mushrooms and onions, usually peppers, sometimes spinach and asparagus. I cook these veggies in a good-sized batch in the oven with a spritz of olive oil and some sea salt, and have them ready to throw into my…
