Wow, great job! Look at that waist!!

It may seem impossible at first, but break it up into little chunks. Commit to losing 5# at a time so you can celebrate your progress. I'm half way to my goal after two years and I'm your age... it's a process, but it's doable. Anyone can feel free to add me.

I made butternut squash and black bean taco filling last night, but I ate mine in lettuce cups instead of tortillas. I diced the squash into small cubes and sauteed it with onion, garlic, Serrano chilli and spice until tender then added canned black beans. I topped them with chopped radishes, cilantro, and salsa Verde.…

Fantastic progress!! You're doing so well, great job!

Ducks are way too heavy, you'll want to go and try some hikers on at a store like REI. You'll be amazed at how light weight and comfortable they are! I have Merrill and my husband has Keen. We love them!

I have not thought about this in a long time... I can totally picture this piled up on my kitchen counter: I've lost 380 freakin' sticks of butter - woo hoo!!!

I get it! I'm sure if you really wanted to be diligent, you could figure out what most of the things you ate were... Search the data base, search online, etc. until you find something close to what you ate. I'm sure most things were fairly common appetizers and you will find something similar listed. If not, you can always…

I skip breakfast if I know I'm going out to a social event on the weekend or having people over. I'll drink lots of herbal tea/ unsweetened ice tea throughout the day. .

Awesome job!! How tall are you? I think my goal is about 160# but you look great at 150#!

Hi, I read your profile and I was a young mom too. You're lucky you are doing something about it now while you are still young. I've been full but not satisfied, when I crave... something I can't put my finger on. I like to keep SF gum and mints handy, also herbal tea makes me feel like I'm having something sweet. This…

Fantastic job! You look like you lost a lot more than 50#. I was uncomfortable when my hubs wanted to join mfp cuz then he'd know my weight... but I got over it. I find it interesting that I started at 327# and a size 24 and I didn't fit into an18 until I got to be about 265#' I'm 5'9"' . You've made really great progress,…

My 14 year old son told me he didn't recognize me from across the basketball court... he said I looked like all the other moms! That is a huge compliment to me because I've always felt like the biggest person wherever we were, and I usually was!

Vegan veggie and black bean enchiladas. Or if you don't feel like rolling them up just layer like a lasagna. Then just cut your portions and freeze. They microwave up very well for lunches too. ETA: I also freeze my Vegan Sloppy Joe's (lentils and finely chopped veggies in a sweet and savory BBQ-style sauce.

Fantastic!! I love your story and that you're a not-stopper! Super-cute picture of you and your adorable daughter! Congrats on your weight loss!

Chillax baby girl :) My first 50# came off almost effortlessly. There will be weeks where you don't lose, while your body catches up, and you will lose inches sometimes. Sodium could also be playing a big part and it could be water retention. Don't stress out about it. Just change something like your exercise (lift instead…

I don't have experience with an ice cream maker or yonanas machine, but I freeze plain fat free Greek yogurt and almond milk all the time. When they are getting close to expiring I use ice cube trays and when frozen pop them into smoothies. I've also used my cuisinart with frozen fruit and a little liquid until it gets to…

Bumpin' down the punkin' patch...

Hi, I like to hike too, and I've lost this weight with that being my main exercise. You can do it, but you have to want it bad enough to do it every day & keep on doing it the next day even when you slip up. I started at 327# almost a year and a half ago. Here is my one year progress post:…

Thanks for sharing. I'm not a big oatmeal fan, but I can do steel cut oats and multi-grain oats since they don't get mushy. The hazelnut butter sounds great, I've never tried it (other than Nutella). Last week I made scrambled tofu with soy chorizo, onions & peppers (I'm vegetarian) and had it in a whole wheat wrap. That…

Learn to convert the recipes you like into meatless meals. I'm not a big fan the commercial meat substitutes, but I have used the veggie meat crumbles (I like Quorn if you can find it) and TVP in place of ground beef with much success. I also love to use my crock pot for soups and stews. Prep/chop all your ingredients the…

I started at 327# Here is my 1 year progress post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1246548-1-year-progress-with-lots-of-pics You can do this - I have some tips in the post. Be consistent - once you get moving in the right direction it's pretty easy to keep it going,

So proud of you!!

Bump... I'm trying this without the meat! It sounds delicious!

And subbing chocolate wafer cookies might help ( they are like just the cookie part, not the creamy filling, and light cool whip? This and the light pudding should make a big difference in calories and fat...

I'm not an emotional eater, but my thought is for you to pop a piece of gum, or mint (I like TicTacs) and go for a walk. Take your daughter with you or let her ride her bike so you can walk faster... The previous poster has awesome advice!

Fantastic SV!! Congratulations!

I'd make a Mexican flatbread pizza and use it for the sauce. Or mexisagna with layers of veggies like zucchini, sweet peppers onions, garlic, etc and corn tortillas. Crumbled and seasoned tofu for the cheese...

I've been on MFP for 15 months. I'm about half way to my goal, so somewhere around 85 more to lose... Best of luck everyone

Looks like a great menu for a nice light day with a sensible dinner. Thanks for the post, I'll check out chronometer as well.

Wow, I guess you are really coordinated, or I'm a special snowflake , but I got it after a few tries :)
