welcome!

I eat a lot of Ezekiel sprout grain bread. 10 grams protien for two slices. No sugar or preservatives. edited: its also got less than a gram of fat

Vitamix as many have said and an old flat bottom wok I got years ago at Walmart. I also just rehabbed my whole kitchen and got a glass top stove. Love it!

Haven't binged since February of this year. I still occasionally get the urge but I won't let myself give in. Last time I fell off the wagon I gained 60 pounds. Never again!!!!

Great transformation! You look so much happier.

You look at least 10 years younger! Beautiful.

I didn't log for months and a lot of people deleted me. Anyone feel free to add me. I love the social aspect of the site and I'm looking to get in great shape in 2014.

I've taken all the meds on the market. Struggled with bipolar and alcoholism from the time I was 16. At one point I was on 5 meds and weighed 300 pounds (I'm down to 201 now). It got so bad I was hospitalized. I realized a couple of years ago that the people in the mental health industry couldn't help me. While they had…

You look great. Congrats.

I don't log religiously anymore but my diary is up to date for the last few days. It's open. I enjoy seeing how other log too.

I go to OA once a week. I have worked the 12 steps and have a sponsor. I text a food plan to my sponsor every morning and don't deviate. If I need to change a meal I just send a text with what I'm changing. It has really been the only thing that has worked for me. I eat three meals and one snack. In the beginning I…

I've definitely had set backs. I lost 90 pounds at one point and put most of it back on. I yoyo'd the same 20 pounds three times in 2012. This year I got serious. I cut out all the crap food. It took me several years to realize it, but I can't moderate certain foods. Particularly foods that have refined sugar mixed with…

I was lacto veg for years and recently came back to it. I have notice a subtle difference in my energy. I'm sleeping a lot better. I've been making casseroles lately. My go to during the week for lunch is a Mexican casserole. It's black beans, corn, fire roasted tomatoes and Greek yogurt. Mix well and put in a large…

This might not be the answer you want but...just stop eating sugar all together! I was caught in a cycle of yoyo dieting for years and the final solution was to stop eating refined sugar and most simple carbs all together. It took me 4 days of feeling pretty terrible, but eventually my body detoxed itself and I began to…

Old Joke: "What do you call a doctor who graduates last in their class............a doctor!" Most of the people practicing medicine now are getting all their info from drug reps who work for companies that don't make money if we are all healthy. Its not in the healthcare industry's best interest for people to exercise and…

You look good dude. You may find that it gets a little more difficult the smaller you get. I've been 10 pounds from my goal on two occasions and the slow progress made me cave in and give up. Definitely do weights. They will increase your muscle mass which will increase the amount of calories you burn just walking around…

Never took amitryptiline, but I took Topamax for several years. It didn't completely eliminate my headaches, but it slowed them down considerably. Maybe once or twice a week instead of all the time. I can guarantee you will not gain weight on it! My doctor increased my dose at one point and I literally got to the point…

I lost about 90 pounds on WW but could only keep about 60 of it off. Lots of yoyo dieting the last 2 years. I find the MFP tracker to be much better because I can actually see my macronutirents, where I screwed up and how I can improve, etc. It so much easier to control yourself knowing you will have to post junk food on…

Good luck! I Started this weekend as well. I'm from the States. I can't believe this application is free!!! This is awesome. Everyone feel free to add me. I need the support.

I'm new to the site as well. At my high weight (300lbs) I had about 100-110 pounds to lose. I lost 90 and got cocky. I have spent the last year and half backsliding over and over. I've only been able to maintain about 60 pounds of my loss so I'm looking to finally break through the 100 pound barrier and live the life I…

30 years old. Today is day 1! Looking to shed about 38 pounds. Wish me luck.
