Skinnytaste baked chicken parm with a little pasta and sautéed garlic green beans.

5'11" here! Highest weight was 232, now at 211. Initial goal weight of 175 and then I'll reassess. Last time I was there I was happy with how I looked, but might try to get down to 165 if I can... The bummer is even with a big weight loss I only go down like two sizes!

Grilled lamb loin chops with mint yogurt sauce, grilled veggies, brown rice pilaf.

Thai shrimp cakes and sautéed peppers and snow peas with Thai basil.

Jams and jellies are great as any of the following: accompaniment to cheese, as a glaze for meats, fish, or veggies (sometimes I add herbs, salt and pepper, and a little sriracha to make it more savory), mixed with plain yogurt, mixed in with oatmeal, with peanut or other nut butters, on english muffins, as a mix-in for…

You're too kind! I love to cook - it's my stress relief!

I'm available to add as well! :)

Here you go! http://www.skinnytaste.com/korean-beef-rice-bowls/ It was super easy and quick (although I did cook up some jasmine rice instead of the brown rice in the recipe so it took about 30 minutes total). Today I had some of the leftover meat mixture over a salad.

Can't hurt to throw some extra flaxseeds on things!

I've tried it a few times to help manage my autoimmune disease as well as my GERD, and to cut my reliance on medications (cutting out medications was specific to GERD, because I had been on Nexium for a dangerously long time...I wouldn't necessarily avoid medications for autoimmune diseases based on what you have without…

Steak kabob, twice baked potato, salad with blue cheese dressing.

Chicken schwarma inspired dinner with some za'atar roasted eggplant.

Rosemary chicken, bacon, and avocado salad.

Turkey meatballs over zucchini noodles.

I like it too! I have a really hard time keeping a consistent pace when running outside (I know there are ways to work on that, but I haven't really committed to it yet) so the treadmill helps me with that. I also find it's one of the only times I get to watch Netflix or other shows, so it helps makes the time pass faster.

Curry spiced chicken, turmeric and garlic roasted cauliflower, and some green beans.

As others have said, keep on eye on your hunger and your weight to see if you notice a change before you make any decisions (not everyone has the same side effects). When I was on Lexapro (I have varied between 10-15mg) I did not notice any huge increases in hunger or weight gain, and was successful losing weight while on…

Beer can chicken!

I've been riding since I was about 7! I was mainly a hunter-jumper until halfway through college when a broken collarbone made me rethink it. I am currently a volunteer coach for a college polo team, and am gearing up for the summer polo season myself!

Asian chicken lettuce wrap salad.

Sounds like it could be psoriasis, especially if it looks scaly. Probably time for the doctor!

Turkey Trot complete! Much slower than I expected, but it was a beautiful day and supported a wonderful cause.

3.5 miles this evening.

4 miles this morning!

3.3 miles tonight!

3.15 miles last night. A little behind schedule, but sticking with it!

A quick 2.75 miles last night.

I had a DVT after an ankle injury when I was only 27. Spent one night writhing in pain so badly that I knew something wasn't right, beyond the torn ligaments I had! My dad and my aunt both almost died from clots (both have different genetic factors, so will be on blood thinners the rest of their lives). My sister and I…
