1 egg 2 slices center cut bacon 1/2 cup rice (left over from last night's dinner) 1 slice 40 calorie toast with 1 tsp country crock spread unsweetened tea 290 calories & satisfying

Not sure I get the concept. Is this all you are eating??

I am a breakfast lover and will get up 20 minutes earlier if it means a nice breakfast. I like center cut bacon, an egg and a piece of 40 calorie toast. Sometimes, being a Southern girl, I like grits & bacon. Oatmeal is good. Oatmeal and grits come in instant packets so can be easily fixed, but the Quaker 1 minute oats can…

You should be so very proud of yourself! Great job! I have 20 more to go of my 40 and often feel overwhelmed. People like you make me realize I can do it.

You are looking great and must feel so much better. Good for you!!

Good for you on taking control of your life! I know that PCOS can be difficult as I worked in a fertility clinic for 15 years and we had many patients with it. But you can still have a full life and enjoy it to the fullest. I wish you well with your journey to getting healthier.

Could I have the recipe for that cajun chicken sausage burger? Sounds interesting.

Not there yet, so cannot offer advice, but do want to congratulate you on achieving your goal. Yay for you!!

I get that one also.

You look good and I hope you do make it to your goal so you can show us the end result!! I love your philosophy on eating and am sort of doing that myself. I'm just getting started. I have lost 17 of the 40 I want to lose and it seems like a long way off, but your story is very inspiring. Thank you.

Every morning and I do record it. I know it is going to fluctuate a little due to many factors, but I like knowing when it has gone up a little or down a little so I can try to pinpoint where I may need to make changes.

Don't know whether to invest in a Fit bit. Seems to cause a lot of confusion when used in conjunction with MFP

I like sweets and feel I need something sweet daily. Have found that a Jolly Rancher or something like that works okay - not really what I want, but it is sweet. Tried one Hershey kiss, but chocolate will lead me to binge for sure. Speaking for myself only, sugar in moderation is okay, but I like it way too much.

Does anyone else have problems with the same size varying? A 12 from one place is too big and from another, too small. Of course, I would love to be a 10, but we shall see.

And hats off to parents with adult kids living with them. I'm one of those and never know what to say or do that won't seem out of line. Trying so hard and I do love her dearly, but it is tough for her and for me.

I am turning 60. Seems like only yesterday that I was turning 30 and so sad about it. Ha!:blushing:
