I make my lunch in the morning before I leave. Usually it is a Turkey Sand on Wheat Bread with Reduced Fat Swiss and Lettuce/ Tomato. I have Baby Carrots, Apple Slices, and a greek yogurt with it. Breakfast is usually a Instant Oatmeal and/or Fresh Fruit. I keep snacks in my desk. Tuna Packets/Cans, Nutrigrain bars, Fiber…

Yup. Osteosarcome survivor here. 9 years cancer free!

Children are a part of society. Everyone complaining about children was a child at one time. People seem to forget this. No, I don't take my kids to fancy restaurants. Yes, I do take them to Chili's/Applebees, etc. They are family restaurants and cater to families, including those with children. My daughter is well…

I'm tall enough that I can hide it.....

Not starting sooner.

Coffee Tortilla Chips/Salsa Pizza The later 2 in moderation, good thing coffee doesn't have many calories.

Costco Staples I purchase: Frozen Vegetable Medley Fresh Fruit (Blackberries, Strawberries, Yellow Golden Melons) Frozen Chicken Breasts/Tenderloins Frozen Shrimp Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sands Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausages Eggs Fat Free Milk

One of the happiest days of my life was dropping 3 boxes that said "Ted's Fat Clothes" on the side off at the Salvation Army!

97 lbs over 9 months.

Absolutely Fantastic! You look like an entire different person! Congrats!

Wow.... What an inspiration!!! Be very proud of this accomplishment!

Excellent! You look great!

Awesome! You have done amazing!!!! Be very proud!

Its all about moderation..... You can still have a cupcake. Just not 2-3, and not everyday. The whole point of tracking what you eat is so that you can re-learn how to eat and use moderation for things.

Congratulations. That is a huge accomplishment. Be very proud of yourself.

SW: 286 Goal/CW: 190

I agree with this. I adjusted my goal a few times as I got closer. Once you get down close to your "healthy BMI range" I would start looking more at composition instead of the scale.

Very impressive!!! Be very proud.

My wife is not to supportive of my weight loss. I don't bring it up/mention it unless she does.

You are an inspiration! Keep it up and be Proud!!! (Coming from another Utahan!)

I started at 286 last year. I weighed in at 191 this morning. Just keep up the routine. Its a lifestyle change, not a diet you will go off of. Everything in moderation. Find those healthy items you like and eat them a lot. It is all about finding a balance that works for you and being dedicated to doing it. Exercise at…

I drive a truck, so no trunk. Under the backseat I have: First Aid Kit Ratchet Tie Downs Bungee Cords Snow Scraper/Brush Jumper Cables And probable some spilled Goldfish Crackers, M & M's, Cheerios, and whatever else my 4 year old has thrown everywhere.

Fantastic!! You should be very proud!

Mayonnaise.... Gross! Squash Beets

The show is entertaining. I enjoy watching it and it can also be motivating. I started watching it in Jan through Netflix and am up to season 9. I thought the show made it very clear that losing weight in this manner is only possible because they are at the ranch working out several hours a day with trainers, no kids, no…

How many dead people are there in the cemetery? ALL OF THEM. I have heard that every morning on the way to/from pre-school for 3 months now.

What an amazing difference. Congrats! Be very pround!

The Jennie-O Turkey and Cheese Hot Dogs are very good. Even my daughter/wife love them. You can eat them without the bun. Fresh fruit is always an excellent side to take. Most people like Melons, berries, pineapple, etc. It disappears fast.

I camp frequently. Some of my staples: Hobo/Tinfoil Dinners (Lean mean, veggies, seasoning in foil- cooked in campfire About 45 mins usually). Marinated Chicken Breasts/Tenderloins- grill them and serve with salad/fruit. I stick them in ziplock with marinate before leaving. BBQ sauce is great. Teriyaki works, I have used…

You are seeing the reward of all the hard work! Congrats!
