Find out how many calories you should be eating (http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/) and start keeping track of your calories. That way you know for sure if your calories are too low. It will also make for a good log for your doctor's visit, which you really should do if your periods stopped as it could be…

You have beautiful eyes as well! Congratulations on your weight loss. :)

I saw a 'homemade celery salt' recipe on this forum. It's where you dehydrate celery and grind it. It's salty but a natural salt. Also, I LOVE Mrs. Dash. They have a fiesta lime seasoning that rocks my world. :D

Spaghetti squash, marinara sauce and lean grass fed hamburger, with cheese baked over it. YUM!

There's an easy granola bar recipe you can make with the old brown overly ripe bananas. 2 overly ripe bananas 1 cup rolled oats 2 tbsp honey/maple syrup 1/2 cup nuts of your choice 1/2 cup dried fruit of your choice Mix and form into a 1" thick square patty on parchment paper. Cook 30 min in preheated 350deg oven. Cut and…

I LOVE apple bananas but can't find them anywhere in my area. And most produce people don't have a clue what I'm talking about! They are amazing!! <3333

Great job! I tried to link it for you but it came up a picture box. You should just be able to put a "img" in brackets ([ ]) around it and it show.

Names would definitely be preferable! They did state that smaller Canadian companies were better than the large multi-national companies. No doubt they would have a large scale lawsuit on their hands if they had stated company names. Very interesting indeed. One of the comments following the article was also interesting: "…

YUM! Sounds great. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome job!!!

Great job! The hard work is obviously paying off, congrats!

Trader Joe's Uncrystallized Ginger. I could eat a pound of it. It's a trigger food for me, so I have to be very careful of my portions, otherwise I'm eating 2000 calories of just ginger!

I too have a vertical c-section. A lovely 40+stitch from belly button to pelvis as they yanked my kiddo out quickly enough to save him. It's not even a straight scar but rather this wavy thing! I would love to see if there's anyone with that vertical scaring that has after-pictures. I just figure that as my happy goal, I'd…

That's a wonderful NSV! Congratulations on your progress!

I took mine to an upscale consignment shop so I could get a little cash for my new smaller size clothes!

My Fav Appliances: 1) Vitamix. (wet and dry cannisters) Love it! Smoothies, homemade nut butters, date paste, coconut oil fudge, soup, homemade icecream, anything pureed, homemade DIY lotions, etc. 2) Dehydrator. Newest gadget, so fun to make stuff!! 3) Crockpot. Easy meals. 4) Electric Griddle. I make everything on my…

Make sure you measure yourself! That's where I'm seeing the largest success so far. Although I've only lost 24lbs, I have lost 17" so far. 24lbs really isn't that much in the grand scheme of things, but I keep telling myself that I have lost a foot of flesh. Celebrate those smaller victories and that will help you feel…

Awesome job!! You look amazing. :flowerforyou:

I can only attest to my personal experience, but when I was at my highest weight, I began to not take care of myself. Not fix my hair, put on makeup or care what clothes I wore because I looked fat in everything - so it didn't matter what I did. Also, carrying around the extra weight made me tired all the time and that…

Fantastic progress!! Keep up the great work! Love your cheekbones btw.

Check Ebay too. They sell VS catalog return bras for $6-10 (they call them NWT or NWOT - new with/without tags). Find out what size you're wearing in the various VS bras and then go shopping on Ebay. :)

Consign out your stuff with an upscale shop! The one I'm at gives you 40% and she charges $16 for most shirts/skirts, $20 for most dresses. She is able to charge more because she is very picky about quality and brands. That will give you a little cash for more. A lot of consignment shops will also offer you 10% on top of…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UveMoL-S75Q - Some people would think Sadie has a belly...but I would kill to have her abs/body. She's considered the #1 belly dancer in the world! I guess I don't understand the purpose of bringing attention to non-perfect bodies in anything. It all just feels like body shaming to me.

I make a big pot of White Chicken Chili using lots of beans. Cost is about $15-20. But you get another meal out of the chicken and broth. And the pot of soup easily lasts all week for lunches and some dinners. It also freezes well. Get a rotisserie chicken from the store. I buy mine at Sam's Club, it's huge for $5. Pull…

Great work!! You're looking fantastic.
