Wow! What an inspiration!!!! Thank you so much for sharing. And congratulations! There's only one thing I have to disagree with: that you "have a long way to go." You are amazing right now. Maybe you want a little more, but I can't see what the "long way" could possibly be. Good for you!

I've been doing the 30-Day Shred since April. I am now at level 3, but I go back and forth between the levels. Stick with it!!! I am 50 years old, have never been very athletically inclinced, but I feel strong! I have muscles now and my endurance is so much better. I also bought another Jillian Michaels DVD for abs and I…

My advice is to take a guess this time. If it's something as low fat as greens with a few veggies, it's not that big of a deal. If it contained meat, cheese, nuts, etc., it is a bigger deal! As for the shrimp, eggs, bread crumbs, estimate those too, and count them separately. But I'd eyeball it and move on with my day.…

ISN'T THAT THE BEST FEELING? Jeans that were once too tight, now needing a belt. Nothing--absolutely nothing--tastes that good! Good for you--keep up the great work. Buy smaller jeans and pretty soon they will be too loose, too.

We eat this same type thing about once a week at our house. Oftentimes I mix a bag of veggie crumbles in and my kids think it's ground beef!

My favorite term for diet soda comes from the book "Skinny *****" in which they call it Liquid Satan. I quit drinking all soda last January (and I changed up the rest of my diet pretty radically, too) and I've never felt better. I was never a heavy duty diet Coke drinker, but probably downed 6 cans a week on average. Funny…

Good for you! I belonged to Weight Watchers for awhile and lost a bunch of weight, but found the maintainance "program" was lame, so I gained back a lot of the weight. I suppose they can't make any money off you after that, so they aren't terribly motivated. Or maybe it was my leader. Anyway, I like this better than WW in…

Congrats on your great success already! Sometimes when I am in a rut or a plateau, I change things up a little--find something different to eat (but still healthy and low cal) or try a new exercise. Maybe our bodies get in a rut and need a change. Good luck!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Good advice about the small meals and snacks! Eating small healthy foods regulates your insulin levels, which keeps you from packing on the pounds.

Good for you for making the effort to get started! Every path starts with the first step, and here you are! I have recently changed (drastically) the way I have eaten all my life, and I, like you have 3 children and a husband to consider also. (I'm 50 years old and am about 30 lbs. overweight.) I decided that since I am in…

How long have you been dieting? Because I've been with MFP for a month now and have lost 10 lbs. But the first two weeks, I was much hungrier than I am now. I think my stomach has shrunk. I eat smaller regular meals with a lot of healthy snacks in between. Fruit, veggies, roast soy nuts without salt. And occasionally I…

I feel that if I am hungry and I have the extra calories available, I will eat them. I also exercise some days just so I can eat more--especially if I am going out to a restaurant or to a house party or something. If I don't eat enough and I exercise, I can't sleep at night. Then I feel lousy the next day and end up eating…

I'm 5'5.5" and my goal weight is 150. I've been down that far before and with my body type, that's downright thin for me. At 150, I'm a size 8 to 10 and that's where I'd like to be.
