So this is something I posted back in April and I certainly do not mind repeating it if it can help another person to be strong so here it goes - it is a long story but the total truth. I used to hate it when ex smokers would lecture or warn me about smoking. Hell, nothings going to happen to me. Ok - let me put it to you…

You look fantastic - looks like you lost more like 50 lbs - great job !:flowerforyou:

Drink lots of water, use finely ground flax seed on many things like yr cereals, oatmeal, yogurts, scrambled eggs, ground meats etc..., eat plenty of fruits and veggies, use olive oil in small amounts. Drink cleansing teas found in the health food stores or better yet check out this website: www.drnatura.com They have a…

Ezekiel 4:9 - Low sodium - found in the freezer section of a local health food store - it actually has zero sodium. Has a nutty taste.

Thank you for this informative article.

US has the FDA which regulates all of our food catergories - other countries are different from ours.

Your progress so far is absolutely fantastic and you say that it has been easy which is great. You can already see a big difference so you can only imagine how great you will look month after month. Keep up the great work - making the commitment to yourself and better health is the best gift you can give to yourself and…

Yes, I love them too - I just go with the original which contains flax.

I love puffed millet or kamut - both are organic whole grain - I purchased mine at the supermarket - found them in the cereal aisle where the bagged cereals are - Arrowhead Mills brand for $1.79 - sodium, sugar & cholesterol free. I strongly suggest that you check them out. I eat mine with ground flax seeds, blueberries &…

Eggs, oatmeal, almonds, couscous, chicken, ground turkey, ground beef, puffed millet & kamut (whole grain cereals), almond milk, coconut milk, bottled water, chicken broth or Herbox sodium free boulion, sugar free ice cream pops, fresh blueberries (that I put in a zip lock and freeze), dark green and red veggies and…

I think yr Granny will love it and remember this day forever and ever !

Sounds like an older woman I worked with that said putting her snickers bar in the freezer made it less calories - lol I highly doubt it - I have always cooked my pasta al dente as that is the way I was taught by my Italian Mom. I never add any of the starchy water to my homemade sauce either BUT I have added water that I…

I add Salsa to: My taco meat along with cut up tomatoes, cheese, spices(cayeene pepper, chili pwd), Franks Red Hot sauce & chili oil. On top of a burger with cheese - no bun. I have sauteed onions, garlic in olive oil, cut up & dice eggplant, add my cooked chicken cutlets & salsa, cover & simmer for 10 mins. Great over…

I watched that documentary as well so started to try and buy farmed raised meats & chickens and it made me very sad. Your weight loss is awesome in such a short time - why not post a full length photo so we can see the rest of you - your face is so slim that I could only imagine how great you look now. Keep up the journey…

Shelly my MFP friend, I always thought you were a beautiful woman inside and out since the first few days of knowing and talking with you. This is the first time I am seeing a before picture and I just want to say that you have evolved into a more beautiful and amazing woman - I am so happy to be on this journey with you…

Clean, trim and pound cutlets thin - spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray - place cutlets on the cookie sheet -sprinkle lemon juice and some white cooking wine on the cutlets - with a spoon sprinkle some bread crumbs or crumbled bran flakes onto the chicken and spread evenly - sprinkle with lemon/pepper seasoning and…

I just made them tonight for the first time. I sliced 2 potatoes lengthwise into 1/2" slices. Foiled lined cookie sheet and sprayed with cooking spray - laid the potatoes out - sprinkled with some salt, pepper & brown sugar. Drizzled a little olive oil and threw them into a preheated 425 oven - 15 mins later with a spatula…

Light bulb went off as soon as I saw the menu - it was the Insalda Johnny Rocco dish that was delicious !

I think this is it - check it out www.myfitnesspal.com/nutrition-facts-calories/carrabbas

Actually I googled it one night after dinner and I found a website for the resturant with MFP written all around the page - I had this salad with seafood - can't remember the name but I think it had a guys name in it - absolutely was delicious - everyone else had finished their pasta and stuff and I was still munching away…

Google and check out the "Dirty Dozen" - tells you which fruits and veggies are the worst for pesticides and to try an buy organic. I feel yr pain as it can be expensive especially in today's economy.

Soda and diet soda is horrible for your health. I have been using a 1 gallon container from an Arizona tea from a while ago and just keep making my own green tea (which has caffeine) and add a little bit of honey. If you like coffee, then like people have already said here, just add ice and enjoy it. Why not make a gallon…

I try not to eat bread a lot but I do really like Ezekiel 4:9 Low Sodium - it is an organic sprouted bread and actually has zero sodium - it gets it's name from a verse in the Bible. - I get it in a health food store and it is kept in the freezer section. I also use Spelt bread found in the same section.

You must realize that there are people on this site that are from the USA, Canada and overseas - we have different food regulations that are control by each country so of course if the foods are manufactured and packaged in these countries it will be different. As others have said, find the food, answer that it is wrong,…

Awesome job - you should be sooooooooo proud of yourself !

You look wonderful and you stand so proud which is great - keep up the good work and love your haircut as well !

You look absolutley beautiful in ALL OF YR PICTURES ! You should be so proud of yourself ! Nice that you were able to follow thru and give yourself an amazing gift - self confidence and better health. Enjoy and keep up the good work !

I agree with cooking yr own meats and slicing them but if you do not have the time Boar's Head Maple Roasted Chicken Breast is only 310 mgs sodium - the lowest I have found as opposed to their low sodium turkey. I am definitely finding that anything "maple" is lower in sodium. Today I made my husband B&M Maple Baked Beans…
