Thanks for the inspiration, Shannon! I'm trying to loose for my son's Oct 2011 wedding. It's wonderful to see someone achieve their goal! Way to go!!!

Stay away from processed foods; Also pickles, though low in calories, are loaded with sodium. Canned foods also.

One third of the way towards your goal! You can do this!!!

We can all do that, Posh! Thanks for all the inspiration. I feel like you are my personal motivator.

Yum! This sounds delicious for those cold days ahead of us. Thanks for sharing.:flowerforyou:

Wow! Fifty is a major accomplishment! That's ten sacks of flour. Keep up the great work.:flowerforyou:

Christine, I act the same way at the checkout! I have a son getting married next year and I keep thinking of those wedding pictures. I don't want to be the chubby mother of the groom! We can do it!!!! Linda

Wow! You've inspired me to photgraph my progress. You look fantastic!

Christine, You can obviously do it! It is no small feat to lose weight with young ones. Just keep that honeymoon in mind when you want to go off track. Even if you do occasionally slip up ( we all do!), look at it as a one time occurance. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get right back to healthy eating! You…
