Nutella!!!!

I LOVE spaghetti squash!!! If it was the consistency of mashed potatoes, then you cooked it too long. Try backing it up to 45 minutes next time. It's done when you can easily shred it away from the skin with a fork. Having a firmer texture might help with it being watery as well. You could drain it if it were more firm and…

Hour south of Chicago, here!! I think if Illinoisans don't exercise much, it's probably because the weather is so temperamental and cold and because the pizza is so freakin' good.

Totally been there. I think there's something about doing the physical that sometimes opens up the emotional.

My experience was similar to many of the others who have commented. I began having gallbladder attacks a couple of months after my daughter was born. The attacks were absolutely excrutiating. If I remember correctly, the pain would start on my left side, and then would progress to my back. At first it felt like trapped…

I have been where you are 1,000 times over.... I feel for you, and just want to encourage you to keep trying. You have two options: give up.... and let your health continue to degrade over time. Or keep trying until the positive changes stick. Trust me.... if someone like me could make the changes permanent, than anyone…

Losing weight gave me less of the "mom" look, which made me look younger. However, my wrinkles definitely gained definition.

Cottage cheese is awesome - even the creamy 4% stuff isn't that high in calories. Greek yogurt with honey. Boiled eggs.

An egg white omelett with salt and pepper, and lots of veggies, can be filling, and keep you at your calorie alottment.

Ok - I see now that I wasn't the first to suggest the love languages book. That's definitely what you should do.:smile:

I would suggest reading the Love Languages book with her, and asking her to identify what makes her feel the most loved by you, since we are all different. I can tell you that I would have LOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEDDDD it if my husband had ever asked me what he could do to make me feel loved. LOOOOVVVVEEED it. Your interest alone…

I love this!!! Great job on your hard work. The men acting awkward at work because they don't know how to tell you that they've noticed your weight loss and you look great has been one of my absolute favorite parts of losing weight.

I love this question! Mine used to be 20 - 30 pounds UNDER my real weight. I now weigh around 50 pounds less than my DL weight!

We use it due to the hormones in cow's milk. We try to keep animal products to a reasonable level, and soy milk is an easy way to cut back. It has more calcium than cow's milk. You can also look up the health benefits of soy to see all that it offers to us. We buy the chocolate kind for our daughter, who insists on having…

Heck yeah, and I love it!!! I gained lots of boobage when I gained weight, so I had a lot to lose. Went down 2 cup sizes!!

Dear house - Please, for once, clean yourself.

Absolutely amazing!!!! You are such an inspiration. I can't believe how you look like a COMPLETELY different person!!! You're stunning and beautiful; amazing!!!

Happy Happy Birthday!!!! You look amazing. You've shown yourself a lot of love and given yourself the absolute best birthday present ever!!! Enjoy :-)

One thing is that you've been working out a LOT, so you might be losing inches even when the scale doesn't move. You've also gone over the 50 pound mark, which is usually when people REALLY start to notice. There comes a point when you've lost so much, that people are shocked when they catch a glimpse of you and don't…

I struggle with this too!! If possible, it might help to do something with your hands or body when you feel like eating. Such as: take a walk. Exercise is wonderful stress relief and burns a few calories too! If you can't do that, maybe try filling out thank you cards that need to be done, cleaning house, etc. I've started…

Thank you so much for posting this. I needed to read this today!! People have been telling me for a while that I don't need to lose more weight and that if I do, I'll look sick, sag, etc. Today it was even openly discussed with me by my co-workers. It's started to make me self-conscience, and made me think that maybe I do…

I was raised to always buy used; although I've heard of people finding great deals with 0% interest for new cars. I think it's awesome if you can buy a used car that's still only 1-3 years old, fewer than 30,000 miles on it, and something foreign (like Toyota, Nissan, Subaru) so that it doesn't break down all the time.…

Good for you!!!!! Even though it's amazing to have the support of a spouse, you have to be ready to do it all on your own, in case they aren't doing so well. I'll bet he'll follow your amazing example soon enough :-)

Thanks so much for all of the compliments!!! It's turning out to be such an enjoyable journey!! Also, to all the women who said that it was frustrating that their husbands lose weight so much faster.... I completely agree!!! I had to get over the fact (around week 1) that my husband was going to lose faster than me, and…

Being an example is the absolute best way to go!!

HAA!!! That's hilarious
