bump for the info

I like take a pork tenderloin, cover it with a mixture of brown sugar (or molasses), onions, garlic, red wine, balsamic vinegar, seasoned salt and pepper. cook on low for about 6 - 8 hours. Shred with forks, and serve on big hamburger buns with some brie cheese melted on it. Sooo good.

I'm sure she knows she's gaining weight. Even if she doesn't weigh herself, if you can tell, her clothes must be getting tighter.

When I lost 60 pounds a few years back, I would buy the current size, and if I loved it, I went back and bought it in the next size down. Especially at places like Costco, where if you see something you like, you need to get it before your size is gone. It gave me something to aspire to fit into. This time, I am mostly…

I started out as a 38 DD at 187. I now wear a 34DD at 148.

I lost about 60 lbs 5 years ago and gave away most of my clothes to a friend and donated the rest. Well, after a while I put most of it back on, and had to buy all new "fat clothes". The clothes I had given away were all really cute from good stores, and so I had to lay out a lot of money again to replace them. This time I…

What is a troll?

A lot of women will lose some of their breast size when they lose weight. Not all women do, though. So far I have lost almost 40 lbs. and still wear the same cup size (DD). I do wear a smaller size around, (went from 38 to 34). I have another 20 or so to lose, but it doesn't look like I'll lose it there. I was actually…

No, and I knew someone would jump on me for that, but obviously she is trying to get healthy. At 160 her BMI is still in the obese area. Why work so hard, and quit to still be in the obese range?

You're 4'10" and your goal is to still be in the obese range?

every time I'm in the vicinity of the scale, haha. I only count the first one in the morning though.

I read it here on MFP, and it's become my favorite. You're never going to have the butt you want if you don't get off the one you have.

This. My husband and I took several one to two week trips this year. I ate what I wanted, but quit when I was satisfied. I figured I could get back to my normal diet (lifestyle) when we got home. I gained around 5 pounds each time, and lost it within a week or two. Much quicker than I normally lose. I think it was mainly…

I didn't look through all your diet entries, but for today you have 2 large scrambled eggs at 70 calories. One large egg has about 80 calories, so 2 would be about 160. If you make these kinds of mistakes a lot, it can add up.

I like most foods, but I refuse to eat organ meats (liver, heart, tongue, etc.) Also was forced to eat everything on my plate as a child. Sat there until midnight and finally finished ice cold lima beans, and promptly got ill. They tasted like moldy cheese at that point. So definetly no lima beans.

dreyers slow churned has 1/2 the fat of most other ice creams and about 120 calories per 1/2 cup serving, and tastes really rich. I love the peanut butter cup one. My husband's fave is the the butter pecan.

I didn't take any before pics, but recently saw some of myself at Christmas last year, and compared it to now. Last year, my face looks puffy and my eyes look more sunken in, not to mention how puffy my body looks. When I look at pics of myself now, you can really see the difference. One of my facebook friends whom I…

When I got started, I asked myself "do I want this (insert food choice here) more than I want to lose weight. I would try to make it a little longer and then a little longer still, when craving hit, and have some kind of low cal alternative handy for those times I just couldn't hold out any more. When the weight started to…

right now I weigh 148, 5'4" tall. I wear anywhere from 4 to 8 pants, and small and medium tops.

I just ordered two boxes from iherb.com for 43.56. I got 10.00 off my first order, you can too, if you use my code SKG213. edited to say: I got 2 boxes of 12 bars each. Coconut cashew, and apple pie, so far those seem to be my favorites.

If you order directly from Quest, you can get a variety box of 12 for about 24.00. Plus if you go to Retailmenot.com, and type in Quest bars, you can get a code for free shipping.

You can drive yourself insane measuring food. I just go by what it says on the box, or container. Some foods may be a bit more and some a bit less than it states. I think it all evens out in the end. On some foods if it looks like that cannot possibly be what it says for calories, I'll give myself some extra calories for…

when Mike was killed on Desperate Housewives. When Noah and Ally died together in The Notebook.

guacamole, red lobster, coldstone creamery, carrot cake

My husband and I go out to eat a lot. One place we don't go to anymore is Texas Roadhouse. We could never get our starter together. I would always order the chili, and my husband the salad. Sometimes there would be a 20 minute difference there, so one of us was always watching the othere eat. The final straw was the last…

You have got to be kidding! What happened to accountability!!!

Can't sleep with my knees touching anymore, it hurts, not enough padding.

This. It's too easy to say "it's not my fault, I have a disease". We need to make people more not less responsible for their health.

what's the low calorie wine you have found?

I use the elliptical almost every day. (I miss maybe one a week). I think it has made a huge difference in my weight loss, and in the way my body looks. My butt and thighs have gotten way smaller than the last time I lost weight and didn't use the elliptical.
