I just made a honey balsamic marinade for grilling....2 tbs. of balsamic, 1 tbs of honey, and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Grill it up and throw it in a salad...sooo good!!

I had two egg nutra grain whole wheat waffles with a half a tablespoon of peanut butter on each and half a banana on each. Warm the waffles with the peanut butter for about 10 seconds after toasting and wrap the waffles around the bananas and eat it like its a taco or hot dog...super yummy!!

It's very possible. I lost 100 in a year and a half. Good luck to you!!

I eat two eggs for breakfast at least four times a week and have continued to lose...also had my cholesterol checked two weeks ago and my numbers were perfect. I say incorporate them for sure!!

Where are your calories at? If they are too low, you may need to bump them up some.

I do Dannon plain yogurt with two tablespoons of craisins or one tablespoon of craisins with a 1/4 cup of cereal such as fiber one or quaker oatmeal squares to balance out carbs and protein. I eat this before a work out and found it good. I have also done a tablespoon of cinnamon with fiber one cereal. Adds flavor and a…

My weight loss tip: Eat well 90% of the time and your good to go. The other 10% leaves room for treats. It's worked for me. I eat healthy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and then at night have a snack that almost always consists of cool whip. LOL. Good luck!

whole wheat waffles, a tablespoon of peanut butter and a banana...protein and good carbs and fat or oatmeal with a banana and cinnamon. Don't forget milk either!!

I get up at 5:00 am, get on the treadmill by 5:15. I do run/walk intervals on the treadmill from 5:15 to 6:00 and then I do Jillian Michael's shred it with weights from 6:00-6:30. I do this routine M, T,Th, Fr. and then I usually run on the treadmill fro an hour on Sundays. Wednesday and Saturdays are my days off. I find…

Try upping your calories more...when you have less to lose and remain at a low calorie level, the body begins to hold onto every ounce of food to avoid starvation mode. When I had alot to lose, I was fine on 1200-1500 calories a day. Now that I am about 10 pounds from goal, I have hit a plateau and was advised by my doctor…

It is terrible, the way she is talked about...but then again, the standards we hold for ourselves and others is terrible too. I wish acceptance were taught as much as standards then maybe we would be getting somewhere.

I agree with you, I was saying that it all has to start in the immediate environment. I realize she was a teenager and believe me after spending my entire teenage life obese, I know the harsh realities of being an obese teenager. The whole family needs an intervention, but even as a teenager she learned about portion…

That's why I don't agree with going away for help with losing weight...it is a lifestyle change and unless the move if permanent, you need to have the will power to change your total lifestyle and avoid the temptation. Above all, you can control your environment and must be willing to accept a lifestyle change. Sure, there…

Wow...great job!! You look Awesome!!

This is a very true possibility.

I too eat a banana before my workout in the mornings...something in the stomach and gets the metabolism going.

Great job!! You look wonderful!!

Thank you all!!

Thanks...I may have done well at losing weight, but technology still befuddles me sometimes. LOL. :smile:

I add 1/4 cup of fiber one regular cereal and cinnamon. Sweet, crunchy, with a little kick. Try that. Plus it's a great way to get protein and fiber.

Thanks Jr! Yeah, it does feel good. Don't get discourage and plan fro slip ups now and then. Accept those days and move forward, but most importantly, follow the 90/10 rule. If you eat well 90 percent of the time, you can cut yourself a break the other 10. Good Luck to you and your wife!!

I have lost 115 pounds and found that depending on the type of exercise I am doing, I may need to eat back the calories. If I have done a high cardio or intense strength training workout then I will eat the calories back, but if I have done a light workout through walking then I ususally do not eat them back. Either way,…
