That sounds like a combination where you can easily substitute things and still have it come out pretty good. Thanks You're more than welcome. ~

I'm not a fan of bananas either unless it is in bread or muffins so this is what I use for my smoothies. It makes 2 cups and a great way to get lots of protein. 1 cup skim milk 1/4 cup Danone Silhouette 0% stirred greek yogourt - vanilla twist 1/2 cup frozen strawberries or mango 1 scoop Bulk Barn whey protein isolate 90%…

I have switched over to dark chocolate since it is healthier than milk chocolate. As well, I find it fills me up faster so a few pieces usually satisfies my craving. ~

Pizza and chocolate with sea salt caramel... yum ~

Way to go... you look amazing! Dedication has certainly paid off for you. ~

Baked chicken stuffed with sundried tomatoes and a slice of brie cheese on top. ~

Definitely going to try this! Love mushrooms. ~

You look amazing! Congrats on your weight loss. Hope I can look as good when I'm done my weight loss journey. P.S. Love your red hair. :)

Toss up between chicken and cheese enchiladas or pizza. And some Lindt chocolate for dessert. :)

Born and raised in Ottawa but moved away to Cobden in Nov. 2008 to be with my guy. It's 1 1/2hrs. west of the city in case you haven't heard of it, between Renfre and Pembroke. Get back a few times a month with doctors' appointments and my parents are there. Janet

Don't know why you would deny it. I have no problem confirming it when people ask if I have lost weight and am fine with explaining how. If someone wants to make suggestions or criticize, I just tell them that I am happy with the path I have taken. End of story.

I think you've answered your own question. If you had to starve yourself to maintain 139, then ovbiously it wasn't a healthy weight for you. A proper weight is one you can maintain while still eating healthy.

I know two brothers who did it. One lost loads of weight and the other not as much but the one who lost loads put alot back on when he went off it. Think it's the type of thing that once you go off and start eating normal again you will definitely gain some back. Not to mention the expense of it.

Hands down exercise. My chronic pain and fatigue makes it very difficult to get on a regular work out schedule. ~

I was in an unhealthy relationship as well. He liked his alcohol and it got to the point where he kept choosing it over me and his young daughter from a previous relationship. I, too, was scared to leave but then I realized I was better being by myself and lonely than continue in a situation that was obviously never going…

I like putting it in a turkey sandwich or mixing it up with cold shrimp for a sald.

Born and raised there. Moved away almost 5 years ago but visit regularly. Great place to live! ~

Cobden, a very small village 1 1/2hr. west of Ottawa Ontario Canada.

Makes 2 cups - I drink one for breakfast and one as a morning snack 1 cup skim milk 1/4 cup danone silhouette 0% stirred greek yogourt - vanilla 1 scoop bulk barn whey protein isolate 90% - plain 1/2 cup frozen strawberries or mango 1 tsp ground flax seeds 1 package stevia 2 ice cubes

I weigh in twice a week, Mondays and Fridays, but record my weight on Fridays. This way I can have a small splurge over the weekend but check myself afterwards.

Yes it's similar to splenda but supposedly a healthier sugar substitute. You can also get other sugar free flavour packs for water such as Nestle and diet Kool Aid. Enjoy.

I drink crystal light as I don't like plain water. It doesn't contain any sugar and comes in so many flavours. The mocktail flavours are great. I also drink Ocean Spray diet low calorie beverages and they only have 2g sugar per 8oz. Cran pomegranate is my fave. As for your tea, try adding Stevia instead of sugar.

1 cup skim milk 1/2 single serving container of honey greek yogurt 1/2 scoop protein powder handful of strawberries or mango few ice cubes

I will send you the money for a new litter box and scooper!

Tried it when I was backpacking in Australia and found it to be the most disgusting thing I had ever tasted. Vegemite to them is what peanut butter is to Canadians and Americans. You pretty much have to be raised on it from infancy to aquire the taste. Can't hurt to try... never know you might actually like it. Let us know.

Beef or chicken stirfry with lots of veggies over brown rice Chili with extra lean ground beef and either kidney or black beans is healthy and always kicks up the protein Any type of fish or seafood. Like adding shrimp to stirfries in place of meat now and again

Attatch a kitty com to his neck when he goes out on the prowl and catch him in the act. If he still denies it, kick his furry *kitten* to the curb! ~

Hi there,. I am 7 months post surgery and don't regret one second of my journey. I have lost 89lbs. so far and hoping to loose another 26lbs. or maybe, fingers crossed, 36lbs. I have a host of physical problems which caused most of the weight gain in the first place and have seen some of them improve a bit since surgery. I…
