Start with a pre-made "ultra this" pizza crust. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce (or tomato paste) on crust. Sprinkle liberally with curry and cracked pepper. Toppings.... chop up about 3-4 oz of buffalo chicken (we buy this in bulk at Sams Club and is a regular staple). about 4-5 green onions chopped up 2-3 oz of fat…

When Chuck Norris does push ups, he's actually pushing the Earth away from him

Thanks Everyone... Glad to know that I'm not alone! I definitely do notice the difference in clothes. I actually bought a shirt at Banana Republic... (I was surprised that they even let me in the door, I used to feel like I had to tell them I was with the skinny guy over there!)... Amazing thing was, it was a Medium! I…

My original goal was to lose 35 lbs in 7 months (which was my B-day of April 15).... well, I reached that goal in 2 months. I then had to re-adjust my goals, so I still have another 10 lbs to lose, with about a month to go (new target was 75lbs lost by my b-day). I don't think I'll make it, because I had a very long break…

comments started after about 30lbs.... then after 60 lbs, It became a daily thing.

Wow... running 5 mph for an hour... I'm pretty impressed. When I started back in September I was 245, and I had set my treadmill at 2.5 mph at a 6-7% incline and broke a massive sweat after about 20 minutes pushing to a max of 35-40 min workout. But, the weight really started coming off fast. Now I'm doing about 4 mph on…

Go Steelers!!!! If you're having 2 glasses of wine per week, that's totally ok, just keep the calories in mind. I have at least 1 drink a night and some night 2,,,, average probably 10 drinks a week. Like I tell everyone, My goal is for a lifestyle change, and not a one time diet. If I cut out alcohol all together it would…

Tboucouis - Before you go for the Lapband, have confidence you can do it on your own, and give it a solid shot! The week before I started, I was seriously considering surgical help.... but decided to give it a REAL try first... and I think that once you get started - with the right support, it will get easy, and hopefully…

Good luck! It's easy to do (and addictive) once you get in the right mind set. I was 245 when I started and set a goal to be at 210 in 7 months (by my birthday).... well, it took me about 2 months to reach my goal, and now I've dropped the target to 170, also by my birthday. Hit it hard at the start and take pride in the…

Welcome and good luck! Even with your Husband not having to be concerned with his weight, you should try to make sure he's on board (eating what you eat , not keeping junk food around etc), as well as your kids. When my wife joined me in losing the weight, things really took off. In 4 months between the two of us we've…

Arctic Zero makes a great "ice cream" that is only 150 calories for a PINT! I buy it at Whole Foods

I think I got all the major food groups covered

Thanks Again everyone.... ... To further celebrate my 50 lbs lost, last night I took over half the clothes I own out of my closet to be sent to Goodwill. No point keeping some threads around that I will no longer need! I got into some of my old pants... unbelievable What a feeling!

Thank you everyone for your comments.... ... coincidentally I just now received the results of my blood work.. I had previously had blood work done right before I started losing weight.... here are the results Cholesterol - Was 221, Now 169, healthy Range 125-200 Tryglycerides - Was 303, Now 159, Healthy Range <150 .... I…

I've dropped 50 lbs since Sept. 19th, and I have at least 1 drink per day and some times more.... a bottle of light beer while watching a game... a glass of wine with dinner.... maybe a shot of something harder every once in a while. Just keep under your calories, or add a few more minutes of exercise to compensate... If…

I reached that goal about a week ago too after losing 45 lbs. What a great feeling to no longer be "Obese". Congratulations and best of luck on the remaining 30 lbs.
