awesome! keep up the hard work!!

I'm 5'8.5". I have a larger frame-hourglass shaped and anything under 160 looks too thin on me. I'm aiming for 160-170lbs-size 8 jeans.

Excellent! Keep up the hard work!

Amazing! Congrats to you! I have a similar story and yours gives me encouragement! Keep up the hard work! :smile:

Deep Dish Pizza and Chicago Style Hotdogs! Where I grew up in Ohio it was Amish/German food! yum :smile:

Me at Thanksgiving, in Jan 13 and today! Everyone is doing so well! Congrats! :smile:

Fantastic job! Keep up the hard work!

at about 20 lbs I started to notice. My face looked a little thinner and I could fit into a jean size smaller. Also my jacket zipped easily around me, where before I had to tug it together.

I LOVE Frozen Greek Yogurt Gelato made by Rickland Orchards. They have Vanilla Blueberry and Vanilla Raspberry flavors. Costco sells them in 8 packs. 150 cal for about 1 c. of gelato. So yummy!

This! Plus grocery shopping takes a lot longer now too. Though I don't know if it's really to his dismay, cause he likes my ever shrinking waitline and tighter behind ;)

I also have PCOS and have lost about 50 lbs so far ( in 5 months). I initially was taking metformin, but don't know if that helped. I have continued to lose weight even without taking metformin now. I am on the generic Yaz (gianvi) and eat btwn 1200-1400 cal/day, and exercise. No real restriction on carbs, but I do control…

You look fantastic! What an inspiration!

We have a 7m old Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix named Remy. He's hyper but the most loving puppy and he was one of our main motivations to become healthier!

My life is made up of these moments. From my little brother and his friends calling me "tugboat" and "earthquake" to a high school crush telling me "well at least you have a pretty face" to my ex husband calling me a fat ***** (hence ex), a young boy yelling "hey mom who's the fat lady" at a public pool and most recently…

This is the base recipe I started with. http://www.marthastewart.com/340261/roasted-garlic-hummus I don't always use the chives or lemon and cut back a little on the tahini. Good luck

I love peanut butter, this sounds yummy!

I love air popped popcorn with a little salt and lime zest; 1/2 cup no sugar added vanilla icecream with a tbsp of melted peanut butter drizzled over top (sometimes with shaved dark chocolate too) and homemade eggplant chips with homemade garlic hummus.

Found this today...more traditional, looks yummy! http://www.shape.com/healthy-eating/diet-tips/10-summer-snacks-under-200-calories?page=7

I-O!! :happy:

I never use cream in my butternut squash soup, but everyone thinks I do! Its just the squash cooked in Chicken broth, blended until smooth with onions, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, paprika, brown sugar and some yogurt butter ( about a tablespoon). I get rave reviews and requests for it all year long!

Avocado, steak and eggplant!

I use fat free cottage cheese to make the sauce creamier, and low fat cheeses with either whole wheat pasta or shirataki noodles. Add in cayenne or nutmeg for a nice kick. Its delicious!
