You look great! What an accomplishment.

I ended up with the artichoke dip and soup. I couldn't find the whole first page of the menu when I got there.

anyone?

What about some nuts? Walnuts, almonds, raw peanuts all are easily portable. If you can stop by a grocery store, you could pick up some greek yogurt and fruit.

I can carry my 50lb four year old and not feel like I'm about to die.

We'll be watching the game. We'll have veggies and hummus (or pb for everyone else) red quinoa and flax seed chips and salsa, Shiner Bock, homemade tomato and basil focaccia. EDIT - lil smokies in whiskey bbq sauce.

Those look good. How many calories are in them?

Watching the game. We're huge football fans. Even my 4 and 1 year old love watching football. Probably get some stuff done around the house too. And go for a walk now that the weather is nice again.

You look totally amazing! Congrats on doing such a great job and staying motivated.. Thanks for the idea of a "day in photos" blog idea.

Wow! I've lost 10 dozen large eggs.

WOW! That's awesome!

I've gone through a similar experience lately. It got COLD, the salads I had been eating for lunch didn't sound good, etc, etc. So I took a few days off. There were a few things I learned: you can have a bad day and get back up and do the right thing the next day, and it's not really worth it. I felt horrible, my mouth…

I have the same thing happen to me when I'm barefoot. I use my wii fit plus for exercise, so it doesn't make sense to keep taking off my shoes as I change to activities that need the wii fit board.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will have to try the chicken. Or maybe the steak. I'm not too worried about that day in particular throwing me off track, but there's a perfect storm brewing between the SuperBowl, Valentines Day, our anniversary, and going out of town the following weekend. I'm trying to be super diligent and…

52 since the beginning of the year.

Edorice - yes, last Thursday was a special occasion. It was a girls night out with my friends, which only happens every few months. So protein, fruit. I've been trying to add fruit to every meal, since I've gotten the hang of adding veggies to almost every meal. Any particular fruits better than others? Right now citrus…

I'm really trying to eat more. I guess I'll have to be more purposeful about it. I lost most of those 4lbs right at first, when I cut out a lot of the junk, so I'm sure it's just water weight.

strawberries, cherry tomatoes. Either raw or roasted peanuts.

Thanks!

Hi Linsey! I'm new here too, and don't have a lot of answers, but wanted to say hi! I have more than 50 to lose too, and am a mom of two kids ages 4 and 18months.
