First, Happy Birthday! Second, congratulations, you just gave yourself the best birthday gift ever, your health! Great job!

Bulgar, our favourite grain and it has replaced rice, pasta, couscous. We have it at least 4 times a week. Our other super foods would be whole farm fresh eggs, lentils and dried beans (especially black beans and chick peas).

There is a fabulous book written by Brendan Bazier called "Thrive" and it includes many vegan recipes, as well as how he follows a vegan diet and balances this with his ultramarthon (freaking long) career. Definitely worth the read.

This is so awesome and you look fabulous!

You look hot, great job!

It is amazing on popcorn instead of salt and butter. Our local movie theatre uses it and they hooked me.

Don't be hard on yourself, 60lbs is no small feat. It's not a race and all that really matters is that you keep moving forward because each small step or positive choice you make brings you closer to the finish line.

You look fantastic and soon those size 14s will be too big!

This is sooo awesome and I cannot wait to do the same thing with mine which is due to be renewed at the end of May.

Apple Pie Oatmeal - Steel cut oats, 1/2 shredded granny smith apple, splash real (local) apple maple syrup - so yummy, cinnamon, slivered almonds

You look so beautiful and what a stunning complexion.

I love aprons, you look like such a domestic goddess!

You look fabulous and I'm not seeing any extra 2lbs!

Now that's an NSV I will have to remember for Christmas!

50lbs is no small feat, great job!

Thank you so much, and yes I have 50ish pounds to go. I am still at the very top of the BMI overweight range for my height. I am only 5'5" and currently weight 175lbs and would like to weigh in the 130s. I am just lucky to carry my weight well and black is slimming.

What a difference, you look great!

You look simply marvelous!!!

I've posted my progress pictures before but my daughter snapped these pictures of me today, and I was so excited because I can finally fit into this outfit that was hiding in the back of my closet. On the right, 105lbs lost and 50lbs to go until I reach my goal (Yay! 2/3 way there) and on the left weighing in at 270lbs (my…

I've been donating all my clothes as I lose weight. I do not want any execuses to be able to fit into my fat clothes again. Granted, it's been a bit sad when I am donating basically brand new clothes every couple of months, but I'm worth it (all those postitive affirmations)! I've only held onto 1 pair of fat jeans so I…

You are awesome! Have you officially caught the running bug?

Started in a snug size 24, currently a size 14 (lost 103lbs).

You are rocking this weight loss, great job!

Now those are some impressive losses.

Oh, how exciting, running becomes quite addictive. I am running 5X a week for at 5.3km (my loop is wierd and I wanted some hills. I just started being able to run the entire distance with the exception of the 3 big hills. In a few weeks I hope to conquer them too.

Wowza, you look fantastic!

That is so cool, you must feel amazing!

Ahhhhh, is there any really sweeter sound than the whir (okay maybe the jet engine turbo charging) sound of a Vitamix, I don't think so. I heart my Vitamix. I have both the large and small container and find myself using the shorted on the most because it is just me and my daughter and it fits under my cupboard on my…
