Congratulations!!!! That's SO awesome! I hope to be there, again, one day too! Keep up the hard work!! :flowerforyou:

You've made a great first step by signing up and then a second by posting on the boards. This is an awesome sight and there are awesome people on here that are great encouragers! You can do it! :flowerforyou:

Congrats! That's awesome! :flowerforyou:

I'll have to try this later. I love some garlic, now, so I can steam or roast some and blend it up with it and make it even better... yay! thanks for the idea :flowerforyou:

I've had the flu for a bit now myself. I try to concentrate on making sure I'm making the right food choices (when I do eat - don't feel like it a lot :frown: ). I may try to work out for a short bit tonight but I haven't worked out much at all for the last 7 days and have found that (with proper nutritional choices -…

bump for reference later :flowerforyou:

Congratulations!!! That's so awesome! Your new picture looks GREAT! btw! Keep up the hard work. It's definitely paying off!! :flowerforyou:

We all understand the idea of strategically dressing ourselves. You have excellent motivation for wanting to lose weight and be healthy. Try to remember, though, that, although your family is excellent motivation, losing the weight needs to be something you do for yourself. You can do it. MFP is an excellent site to help…

Sounds yummy...I'm thinking I may need to try a gluten free version of this one ... YUM! Thanks for sharing your recipe! :flowerforyou:

Just keep going back to the verse under your ticker... you can do ALL things through CHRIST who gives us STRENGTH. Blessings! :flowerforyou:

Congratulations!!!! That is so awesome!! I must confess I'm a little jealous. I started on 7/25 and I'm struggling to make my first 20! I'm happy for you, though!! Keep up the hard work! :flowerforyou:

Thanks for posting these. :flowerforyou:

Meats will need to be plain - without breading or marinade (most marinades have soy sauce in them and most soy sauces have wheat in it:angry: ). Tacos are good but only as long as you know what seasoning they're using. Some seasonings also have gluten in them so you need to be careful. I would make special requests for…

It's great that you feel like you can maintain your goal weight once you get there! That's fantastic! I must admit that's a concern to me. Just hang in there and it's exciting that you can see your own body improving! Bravo! :flowerforyou:

That's exciting guys!! Keep up the hard work! Congratulations!! :flowerforyou:

Welcome back! Keep working hard and your husband will be shocked to come back to an even better looking wife than he left! Thanks for your sacrafice for our country too, btw!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Congratulations!! 20 lbs is amazing! I'm almost there....almost.... :) I got my 1st outside compliment yesterday!! I grinned and grinned and grinned and was soooo happy to share it with my husband!! Enjoy Vegas! :flowerforyou:

what she said :happy: You could also try adding some lemon juice or a little packet of 'orange' stuff that you can get in the isle with sweetener. That changes the flavor a little and I don't think there's any calories in it. Check to be sure, though! :flowerforyou:

I'd still be wary. Any guy who makes his expectations of a thin woman known has a nasty potential. Since he knows you have struggled with your weight in the past please be careful and RUN AWAY if he starts suggesting you 'not eat that' or 'haven't you already eaten' or 'why don't you eat this instead'. I have the most…

I'm sure you'll do wonderfully! I want to caution you - please be careful about a guy who is vocal about his preference for thin girls. If a guy doesn't care for you/love you even when you're heavy, he probably won't love you like you deserve if you're thin. Just a little bit of advice ---- Congrats on getting back into…

PLEASE!!!! let me know how these dips turn out. I can't STAND!! the texture and plain taste of cottage cheese - it weirds me out too! :noway: ewwwwww! I would love a healthy, tasty dip for my carrots and broccoli (I LOVE carrots & broccoli!!). I'll anxiously await the news! (also please let me know how the spinach dip with…

Thanks for sharing. I may have to try it! :flowerforyou:

Let me start by saying that I think pornography is wrong because it develops an insatiable lust in men that seems to only be alleviated by watching more pornography. If a man loves/enjoys his wife he has no need to seek fulfillment of a sexual nature from some other woman. Having said that - You made your expectations for…

2 in my family prefer Almond Milk. 1 likes Soy but likes Almond too - no real preference (as long as it's chocolate!!) 1 likes Almond Milk or 1/2 to 1% milk - that one just loves milk! 1 doesn't drink milk. We have a plethora of opinions :)

Welcome to MFP. It's a great site with great members. Remember one day at a time is how you do it - tomorrow isn't here yet, yesterday is history so just think about today. I have been using MFP since 7/25 and I've lost 17 pounds and 13.25 inches. If ****I**** can do this, you can do it! Good luck! :flowerforyou:

This is a great site with lots of helpful information and helpful (and very encouraging!) people. It offers great tools to help you lose weight and become more healthy! I hope your journey is excellent! :flowerforyou:

Welcome. MFP is a wonderful site and it's full of helpful people and helpful information :flowerforyou:

I like your Bible verse - It's my quote verse too!! Yay! :flowerforyou:

Wow. I don't think I was ever in a 6!!! I have quite a bit more weight to lose and seeing you and your success is SO INCREDIBLY inspirational to me! It gives me confidence that maybe I can lose 100 pounds successfully. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:

Music is awesome. The very first time I worked out I thought I was going to die because I was sooooo bored. The 2nd time I added in my music and time flew by! I also, periodically, read, pray, and watch part of a movie (especially if I want a long workout) while I'm on my stationary bike. It is great for passing the time.…
