thanks for sharing not only your stunning transformation photos, but also your story... motivational and inspiring! you look amazing!

this is a great post and was ironic because I had just replied to a post that asked the question 'what will you do when you reach goal' with 'I will have professional photos taken of me and my pupster down at the lake'... *groan* & grin.

I just completed week 1 and looking forward to week 2... I'm on my journey towards regaining my health, have never been a runner and was able to do this. It's very empowering and fun! I feel unstoppable. A couple ideas for finding folks to run with closer to home: check with your local park districts --- they often have…

I'll spring for professional photo shoot at the lake with my pupster ; D

Bottom line, for whatever reason, people always feel free to comment on other people's EVERYTHING. Rest assured, it is about THEM, not you. They are projecting their own fears and guilt out there. When people "critique" my diet or lifestyle - or anything else - I just say, "interesting...." [/quote] ^^^ ditto this ^^^

I am thankful for my pupster and the crazy snow sleet that makes taking a walk such an adventure!

3 fave ways: 1- add to my green smoothie 2- saute as several mentioned although I forgo the bacon ; ) 3- salad: cut into strips, massage with a bit of olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice --- actually massage with your hands to break the cell walls down, becomes quite tender; add pine nuts, raisins or cranberries, chopped red…

Hi.... I wouldn't say that I'm doing low carb, per se, because I have not limited myself on fruits (or veggies) but I have cut out bread and wheat (no pasta) and have cut down quite a bit on rice, opting only for wild rice and not eating much starchy veg either. I, too, have cut wayyyy back on processed foods and am having…

all of the above plus they help fight inflammation. chia seed are also a great choice. :happy:

You can also add me to look at my diary if you'd like... in addition to avocados and nuts... quinoa, nut butters and having a smoothie can easily get to 400 cals without really trying (one of my faves: banana, apple, pear, spinach, slice of ginger, slice of jalepeno pepper) Easier to drink 3-4 fruits and greens than eat…

double ditto!

hi... you may already know this but I actually use the recipe calculator that's available here on mfp... I have found it a great help in not only figuring out my calories for making things from scratch but also just in making it a one click for things I eat regularly (like smoothies, etc) instead of having to enter every…

you're doing great! I just started this week and am psyched about it... great answers posted here and the only thing I will add is to listen to your body... and if you find you need to repeat a day or a week or whatever, then do it! I am not as concerned with my speed as much as I am focused on just trying to be able to…

thanks for sharing.... i have a long way to go... my total goal is between 75-100 and I've lost 10 so far... so that I wouldn't feel overwhelmed I decided to break my ticker into smaller goals as I was finding it too disheartening to see how far away I was lol.... thanks so much for sharing... huge transformation already &…

other good sources of protein include quinoa, hemp, nuts, beans, lentils.... there is actually protein in everything we eat and there haven't been any cases in the developed countries of people becoming ill from too little protein (although there can be health concerns over too much)... so the worry that we aren't getting…

I have never heard nor seen a grapple so will be on the hunt!!! as for the colorful carrots, I find them plentiful at farmers' markets in the summer so you may try there. They are delish. and as for the orginal post... have had yellow watermelon and it's wonderfully sweet. I haven't had to pay too much of a price…

I usually just give $5 donation and don't order any cookies... that way I'm not eating it and I'm not promoting that to anyone else either. ; )

I've had tremendous success with Polar. I've had several different from the highest end to the lowest. Right now I'm using one that is on the lower end because it is super simple to use, tracks exactly what I want and has low profile (comparatively speaking). So many out there to choose from. If you have a store near you…
