I love the Samyang or Neoguri ramen noodles but they are incredibly high in sodium so it's a rare treat. I add sliced rice cakes, kimchi dumplings, seaweed (not the nori style), veggies and a scrambled egg. It makes a huge pot enough for 2-3 people.

Corvallis, Oregon here. Been a TOPS member for 10 years. Lost a lot of weight (sadly gained it back) and was able to prevent from gaining more weight over a few stressful periods. Currently on the way down on the scale. :)

The Subway 6" meatball was my secret shame. Now I avoid it due to the astronomical amount of sodium. I love Jimmy Johns, Togo's, and Big Town Hero but also have to avoid them due to the salt content. One can recreate an amazing sandwich at home using low sodium turkey, high fiber bread, lots of veggies for toppings and…

I make my own kimchi and pickles from radishes and cucumbers I grow in the garden. Try to eat yogurt as much as possible. I also take a couple of Schiff probiotic gummies every day. I'm much more regular when I eat probiotic containing foods. When I stop eating them, I get bloated and my weight loss stalls.

Evil has a new face and it is Pepper Jack Laughing Cow. I can't keep that in the house or I eat the whole container in one evening.

Don't beat yourself up over this but also, don't allow yourself to gain the rest of the weight back. Try to get back to a routine - the simpler the better. I see that I lose weight during the weeks that I keep a good work routine and plan out simple meals. A lot of people recommend the website Skinnytaste - it's a great…

You guys are so beautiful! :) :) :)

I played in a women's rugby league. Honestly, I would have been in too much pain to care how many calories I burned.

Glad I'm not the first one to have the song immediately pop into my head.

96 sticks of butter... when you think of it that way - wow!

Welcome to MFP and congrats on your upcoming nuptials! :flowerforyou: If you constantly think about the entire amount of weight you want to lose, it can be overwhelming. Agree with others - break it up into small increments. Every positive food choice and every minute of exercise is a victory. These things add up over…

Forgot to add this website as a suggestion - my kid went to the garden camp the institute sponsored this summer and they made a few meals from the recipes posted on this site. We have grown to truly love beets - it's such a great veggie - we've made chocolate beet cake, beet pancakes, beet hummus and grilled/roasted beets.…

Google "Eating Well on $4/day Good and Cheap". Leanne Brown created a free pdf cookbook which has some good ideas (the butternut squash soup is really tasty). Agree with others - if you can get dried beans, pasta, flours, rice, and nuts in the bulk food section, it's a great deal. It's too late this year but if you can…

Wow!! What an amazing transformation! You look fantastic! Congrats!

You are assuming a lot about his addiction but it does not bode well to have liquor at the workplace. If you are a friend to this person, talk to them and tell them to take the booze home. That might just solve the problem right there. As a former safety manager and someone who has worked closely with HR, I'm more worried…

Dachshunds are my favorite - they are so mischievous. One dachshund is trouble. Two are a gang. Three are a criminal syndicate. Generally love all dogs. It's the big brown expressive eyes that get me every time.

Liners are AWESOME!! You can get them at a big box store - 4 for $2. Amazon sells a Pansaver brand of liner - 25 for $10. I normally don't use them for home cooking but I use them when we have crock pot day at work. Makes cleanup at work so much easier. Agree with independant24 - you don't have at spend a lot of money on a…

Wow! You did great! Not only did you change your appearance but you are changing your health for the better!! :flowerforyou:

Wow!!! Congratulations on your accomplishment. :flowerforyou:

Wow!!! Amazing progress! I have a long way to go before hitting onederland but you have provided great inspiration. You look great! :flowerforyou:

Agree. Forgive my silly question - why would one go off the depression/anxiety meds if it's helping them? I was depressed/anxious/suicidal for most of my teenage/adult life. Tried Wellbutrin twice a few years aback but it didn't do anything for me so I felt that I was stuck in this hell for life. Then the doctor prescribed…
