Amazing job!

Thanks for all the ideas :) maybe I will invest in a meat thermometer later on. I am still not sure I want to start eating meat again. I'd rather get a food scale first anyway! I ended up baking it on low and put BBQ sauce and provolone cheese on top of it. It came out okay, probably a little over cooked but not bad!

Thank you! Maybe I will do it this way, seems fool proof.

Thanks for all the advice and suggestions :) I will attempt to bake chicken tonight. I swear this is the first time I've ever have, kind of pathetic lol. I think I will go for low temp and longer cooking. I hate dry chicken. I'm so worried I won't cook it long enough though, and one bite into undercooked meat and I'm done…

Boneless skinless chicken breast, yes. I have rice, salsa and cheese...that bowl sounds good. I wish I could grill them, but no grill. Another stupid question - how do I know when it's done? Red meat is easy to tell. Chicken? Not so much.

Spinach, roasted peppers, mozz cheese and some balsamic vinegar. Grilled or baked wrapped in foil. When it is done, I top it with avocado.

You look great! You don't think you can tighten up? I bet you could!

This is also a concern of mine. So far, I am good. Although I still have about 40-50 pounds to go (for a total of 80-90 pounds). I've noticed recently that my arms are like bat wings, or will be, so I started to do some arm exercises. I plan on starting weights soon too.

I learned States and Capitols in 4th grade. I can still name all the states (and I know where they all are on the map, too), but not capitols. I think I could name 10 of the capitols now. We also learned all the presidents, in order. And I could still name them a few years ago but no idea if I can now. I got out of a final…

If your "friends" are making fun of you, for any reason, they aren't real friends. I'm sorry they are doing this to you.

This album.... Pure 80's #1s I listen to it daily :) Right now I just have my itunes on shuffle and Maniac by Michael Sembello came on. Makes me laugh.

Looking good, meeps!

Yup, just recently had this issue. I had my goal for weight loss to be 2 pounds a week and I upped it to 1 pound a week. Dizziness is gone. (and I have 50 or so pounds to lose, so 2 pounds a week is not crazy for me)

I just warned my family. I'm from Eastern CT, my family lives in Eastern/Central CT.

What part of the east coast?

Most of the time, my snacks and meals are all about the same calories. 250-350 per meal or eating time. I'm not set on that, and things adjust here and there but having that mind set helps me stay on track for the day. I eat 1800 calories a day. When I make a sandwich, I load it with veggies. Yesterday, my lunch was an…

This has never happened to me. I'm jealous.

I just like almond milk better, it tastes better to me. But I like hemp milk better than both soy and almond milk. I don't drink any of it straight, I use it in cereal, coffee or smoothies.

There are other ways to exercise. Walking or swimming wouldn't cause sweat or at least not a lot. Her excuses are invalid. :) eta: Unless she truly has a medical condition, of course.

Vodka and club soda, with a lime or lemon wedge. Or Vodka and cranberry juice.

oops, these are huge pictures! i'm too lazy to go and edit them though :)

Mine is open (to friends, not public), feel free to add me :)

Forgive yourself. Forgive your mom. Forgive your ex. Apologize to your fiancé, and your grandparents. And to yourself. And to your daughter. Paige, you are strong. You are. You will overcome this. Paige, start taking your meds, RIGHT NOW. They help. Allow them to help you, allow yourself to help yourself. None of what…

I just have a question about everyone saying it is the bride's day, not yours....It isn't really related to the topic of catering exactly, but, if NO ONE showed up that the bride invited, she would be okay with that? I was always shown and told that the wedding is really about the guests, the honeymoon is about the newly…

Personally, if I were planning an event, my own wedding or a party....I would make sure there was a variety. That is what I have done in the past and it really isn't hard. Most of the weddings I've been to you get three options, fish (or some kind of meat-free option, but it was mostly always fish) chicken or beef. I would…

I keep sweets out of sight. My parents also sent me candy, not a whole lot but some, and I put it in the cabinet above my fridge. Out of sight, out of mind. If I want a piece, I take one out and leave the rest. It takes a lot of will power, but if you can fit it in your calories there is no harm in having a piece or two.…

I mix it in with oatmeal and I don't taste it. I've never eaten them solo, so I don't know what it tastes like really. It's a complete protein, so yes, good source.

I'm 5'10 and my goal weight is 190. I might end up going down to 175, I don't know, I've never been a healthy weight my entire adult life.

Will you be doing PT? That would be enough of a burn while you heal.

Depends what you mean by an off day when it comes to eating. Eating once a week at maintenance won't hurt you or stop weight loss, it will slow it down but not by much. Another thing, if you are restricting yourself too much every day you won't stick with it. What are you trying to cut out that you are allowing yourself to…
