Such an inspiration to me! Congrats! Can wait to get there too :)

Ha ha ha! Just like you : I can't stand Mayo. Yurk! The smell, the texture, the taste:sick: And also: tofu, cottage cheese and any trip, heart, brain, tongue....never!

Fine cheese, red wine, hot bread (all together! :mad: ) and everything with sugar in! Mostly near my period, it is verrrrry hard to stay away from those demons :angry:

Great topic! I actually Learning about BP. Without mediaction mine was around 180/90! HORRIBLE! I have 2 medication to take per day. I also need to take pills of potassium. My eating wasn't enough to get my potassium good. It is hard. I'm only 34 years old, I still have to lose about 50 pounds to get healty, but i've…

Great job!

Nothing special, like most of people here, just check out my portions and try to eat healty most of time. If I want something less healty, than I wait before I eat it. Most of time, I pass out and don't eat that scrap. If it's still in my mind after a while, I go for it and don't feel guilty at all. The only thing I cut…

Thumbs up! How come I don't see one child playing outside in winter! Ok we have a lot of snow...so what, when I was young we were always outside skating, playing hockey, snowball war...During summer hummm, too hot .COME ON It's so much different now, I totally agree, playing outside is so much fun!

I still eat what I want, but knowing myself it's better to get away from all cakes, chocolate and deserts. I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF! Sometimes I miss the time I didn't have high blood pressure issues. I don't like salty food, but I have to check every single label, have to avoid many restaurants...it's crazy how much sodium…

I agree with most of posters here. I think it's parent's fault. Sure there is some exception but.... Since i'm a mother of two (9 and 7 years old) I make a point to learn them what's healty. My son cook with me since he is 2 years old, both of them work out with me and they enjoy it. I have a weight problem, but my…

Cool! I'm glad to know that I don't have to cut down fruits and veggies! I was a little worried with my sugar intake, Mine is set to 26gr. I tried today to stick to that 26 gr, and i was so hungry this afternoon, I picked a fruit in the fridge because there would be no way I could keep it up till supper! By the way, i'm…

Incredible! So much determination, B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L !!!!

Regular coffee with skim milk. Sometimes flavoured coffee from Al Van Houtte

-2 whole wheat toast with 1 tbsp of peanut butter, and a coffee with skim milk -1 cup of cereals (Quaker squares, Kellog's mueslix, Bran flakes, Mini-Wheat...) with a cup of skim milk -Omelet with veggies and cheddar cheese -Greek yogourt with season fruit And sometimes a french breakfast: orange juice, cappucinno, french…

I'm training every day. But doing only 30 minutes during the week because I don't have more time. Than saturday and sunday it's at least one hour. I'm doing any type of DVD going from Jillian M. to Billy Blank.... or doing rope, elliptical, circuit training outside, running, I love variety. On w-e, I add some family…

I think that homemade pizza is a good meal. I use to eat pizza sometimes. I put a LOT of veggies, some tuna or shrimps, or breast chicken. To give a good twist I tried a bit of pesto or goat cheese, fresh herbs...there's so much possibilty. But I don't eat restaurant pizza, too salty, too greasy, I just don't like it.

God! yes! I think about my weight all the time. How come I became so fat? I'm still in process to find the reasons why I have so much problems to get an healty weight. I have a younger sister who is healty, fit and never had those troubles. Why me? Well, I love food. I don't eat junk food but I absolutely overeat. I don't…

Do not eat the P. like potato, pasta, pastry, pain (pain=bread in french) I agree with the pastry, but for all others...no problem to eat that! Do not eat the fruit after, do not eat this with that...all the association food. Come on! Wathever :tongue:

For me it's yogurt, every fruit I love them all! Celery with salsa (i don't like houmous). Crakers with a piece of cheese, walnut, almonds...cherry tomato,

I have a few different favorite recipies but the best of all: grilled fish with tomato salad and basil, salad made with roasted bell Pepper, and a small boiled potato Top that with fresh cilantro, chopped onions and a bit of extra Virgin olive oïl. Yummy! Taste like I am having dinner by the mediteraneen sea in Greece!

I found the first days more difficult. Be sure you eat properly, like proteins at every meal. You said that you already drink water, so maybe take a walk, do something else to change your mind. If anything change after 20 minutes and it get worse than maybe you can get a snack (apple with 1 oz of cheese or a handfull nuts,…

Good for you! You'll see, soon that you will progress even more. Of course, there is time that are rough, but you will be able to handle it. I can tell that I felt the same. I had to change the way I eat (high blood pressure issues), and now there's some food I cannot stand anymore! Same thing for workout, if you keep…

Since January 7 i'm in and out. Going well during the week, more tough during week-end. Easter was a killer for me. But i'm back on track to lose those extra lbs. -What was your starting weight? 209 -What's your target? my first target is 160 but i'ill see after that if I need to lose more -What are you now? 200 -How many…

Well, it seems that we all do the same! For me too, it begins with routine. I have to workout every single day to keep it up. For the food, i'm the kind of person who needs to eat healty. I'm lucky to not love fastfood that much. But I use to have a cheat meal to satisfy myself like a glass of red wine, a piece of bread…

I agree with Katy Perry. And you made me laugh with the two big reasons ha ha ha! I'll say for myself: Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian and Beyonce for the curvy body. Those girls are awesome, they look like women. I always tought that a girl should have some healty curves, it's so sexy!

WOW, you look amazing for your 50! Happy birthday. What a great gift you gave for yourself!

Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, Beyonce...they have my body type (when i'm slim :laugh: )

Hello, Just to let you know, I am a french person, so I just want you to excuse my approximative english speak. :ohwell: I am dealing with high pressure blood too for about five months. I'm only 34 years old and even if I have a weight problem, the Dr told me that there was a part of a family problem. (my father have that…
