You look amazing!!! So proud of you, your dedication is so awesome! Way to make a goal and make it!!!

Wow you look amazing!! Especially your bootie...WHAT exercises did you do for that? Wow!!

YUM!!

YUMMM!

Oooh some great things I have not tried listed, thanks!! My favs: Brown Rice Tortillas Vanilla Meringues (4 big cookies for 110 cals!) all their frozen veggies Taco Seasoning EVOO one with the spout...love it! And non-diet indulgence- Turbinado (sp?) sugar and sea salt dark chocolate almonds...HOLY COW so good...

YUM!

Yumm I'm going to try them GF...

I hardly ever look for gluten free recipes...I just convert regular recipes to gluten free. Almost anything that calls for flour I use Bobs Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour....there are many choices out there but that is what I use. Then just add about 1 tsp of guar or xantham gum per cup of flour....usually…

Oooh I've heard of the English Muffins but have not seen them at my store yet...cant wait to try them! I thought I died and went to heaven when the Udi bread came out... I normally have one egg and one egg white scrambled with one slice of Udi bread and 2 slices of ready-made bacon (I know I know not that healthy but 35…

Mmmm must try these!

I've been getting more and more "you're too skinny" comments, but I just take it as a compliment! I know its not true, but at least they are noticing! :)

Oh I LOVE my Misto!! Here is a link, you can get it at Bed Bath Beyond, Ross, maybe even Target now... you pour your own oil in it and just pump air into it each time you want to spray (like 5-6 pumps of air, very quick!) I always felt weird about spraying that chemical smelling Pam on my food, but now with this I use it…

Thanks everyone! Believe me, if I can do it, so can you!!! I'm a BIG believer in zigzaging calories...especially if you are stuck on a plateau...eat over by 500 cals one day, then under the next days, etc. Totally works! :)

Thank you! I still think they need work, trying to get them more toned! But yes, arms are a big issue with me too...

Awesome!!! You look fabulous!! Nice work!

You look amazIng! Great job!

Thanks everyone! :) I tend to eat light breakfast and lunch, with small snacks, and a bigger dinner...so like for breakfast I alternate between a small bowl of cereal (Natures Path Crunchy Vanilla Sunrise- its gluten free) with half a banana and a splash of almond milk, which is about 140 cals total. Other days I have 1…

Ha! Dont worry you know you will always get multiple opinions. :) If you are only drinking on weekends I think you are fine, just allow for the calories you are going to drink by extra exercise, etc. I have lost 35 lbs and I have more than the occasional drink...usually red wine or vodka and Diet Soda...just sayin. :) It's…

I've come to love pizza with no cheese...it takes away SO many calories and I just load it up with veggies and sauce, sometimes pepperoni.. Yum!

I am 5'4 and reached my goal of 125...but now I'm wanting to go to 120...it all just depends on your frame I think.

Thanks these are great!

I have found that varying in calories really helps spurn my weight loss...I would splurge one day by about 400 calories or so, then the next few days be very strict, and every time I would lose another lb or two quickly! So I for one swear by it!! I think its good to keep your body guessing... :)

LOVE the Stephanie Plum series! Hysterical! I just finished Water For Elephants....excellent book!! Let's see... Secret Life of Bees is very good, and if you like mysteries my new favorite author is Lisa Gardner...

Yum!!

Thanks gotta try these!

Yum thanks!

I think moderation is key, just like you said. And also, there are healthier pasta choices you could choose, like whole wheat, quinoa, etc. I have it occasionally as well.

yum!

Will have to try this!

I joined and started tracking on Jan 3 of this year. I am 3 lbs away from my 30 lb goal! So I'm gonna guess 4 months.
