Thanks for the great post. I'm getting close to my goal and have been mentally preparing for maintenance as well. I plan to keep logging also as I want to keep the healthy lifestyle I'm on.

Congratulations on a super awesome job so far!!! I'm on a very similar journey and have felt so amazing with so much weight gone. Keep it up!

Very amazing work to get so fit - you look great!

My favorite is Dannon Light & Fit - only has 80 calories. Favorite flavor is Raspberry, but others are great too. They also just came out with Greek Bends, already mixed and also only 80 calories with 12g Protein.

Hey Daniel - Congrats again on your transformation, success and struggles. Do check in on us once in a while - gonna miss your posts. You are a successful person, just give yourself a break now and then. Best of luck to you ...

Wal-Mart has it around me.

FANTASTIC!!! Congratulations on your success so far.

Nutritious - Delicious and no scientific formulas as ingredients. (I limit myself to one-a-day though more is always tempting.)

W O W !!!!!!!! You have done an incredible job of taking control of your life. Thanks for sharing your story as well - VERY well written. I took courage just to share that deeply of yourself and your thoughts. Congrats - you look truly amazing.

Fortunately, I haven't had that as my family has been very supportive. I have had some Debbie "doubters" however... "I know a friend who lost weight and gained it all back".... I just smile and let it go. If someone is pushing me to try something, I think (hope) I will just stick to my plan and politely say "no thanks" ...…

These are great to make in a muffin pan - makes 12 tasty muffins!

Awesome job on getting fit and healthy!!! You do look great.

Simply INCREDIBLE how you look now!!! Awesome job man - congratulations.

This is just plain cruel to post ... at least until they come up with a scratch n sniff computer screen!!!

So much for that theory!!!

Do you know for a FACT she is in miserable conditions? Having grown up on a dairy farm and KNOWING how we took care of our animals; how we cared for them 24/7 including getting up in the middle of the night when one was calving to make sure the birth went well, or tend to a sick cow; I KNOW our cattle were well cared for…

... when you look at your receipt and discover the KID behind the counter gave you the "Senior Discount" on your meal even though you were only 54. (Of course that was pre-weight loss though the hair is still salt n pepper)

Oops - didn't read instructions fully and my recipe didn't fit the topic. (...and there's no "delete" button that I can find once you post something). lol :smile:

Chocolate chip cookie dough is the BEST ... but also love the Mixed Berry Bliss, Vanilla almond crunch, Chocolate Brownie (almost tastes like a tootsie roll). I keep a big variety of them on hand to mix it up. Still have not found any others with as much quality as these. I love the taste and they're filling.

Thanks for sharing your incredibly inspiring story! You and your husband look amazing. My wife and I are on a healthy life journey as well. Congratulations.

It's Marzetti sugar free strawberry glaze from Meijer store in Michigan. Wal-Mart may have it as well. Only 10 calories for 2 Tbsp.

NP - just that for some people, the extra calories and fat could be a problem. But I'm always looking for a good product if someone has a suggestion. :smile:

I just read the label for the Berotelli light garlic alfredo, Sorry to inform you that it is 50 calories for 1/4 cup not a 1/2 cup, and had a very high fat ratio. FYI

Congratulations on your sweet success. Love the line by line comparisons!

Awesome job! Just think of this as the LAST time you'll have to lose weight. Congrats!

Quest is my bar of choice as well. Many flavors to change it up. ...and no, I haven't found any others with the quality of the Quest Bar. The latest I found is the Vanilla Almond - tastes like butter pecan ice cream. My favorite is the chocolate chip cookie dough.

I track the sodium as well. Have learned sooooo much on here I never realized about food. I am trying to eat as much non processed food as possible and read all labels to find the the most nutritious and lowest sodium foods I can. It takes a lot of time shopping, but is well worth it! Good luck on your journey.

I am on the road a lot with my job - sometimes 3 days in a row. I have a insulated vinyl bag with a plastic liner to carry prepared food in 1 cup and 1/2 cup plastic zip lock containers. I use a couple of 1 liter water bottles frozen to keep things cold. As for the food, various low sugar packed in water fruits, low sodium…

You are such an inspiration! What a change. And again, congrats to you AND your beautiful bride.

I used to think a hamburg or hot dog weren't edible without a bun surrounding them ... and garlic bread or homemade cinnamon rolls??? YUM! But now, I rarely have any breads. I occasionally eat a wheat bread that's 35 calories a slice. I'm finding in all my food choices, if it doesn't have enough nutritional value, I'm not…
