Way to go!!! I'm almost 5'2" and I hear you about what a difference a few pounds can make on a small frame. I'm hoping to get to 130 also. :smile:

Look at you hottie! Amazing job, thank you for the motivation and encouragement. I "only" have 25.6 pounds to go to meet my goal weight, but it seems so far away! Stories like yours help immensely! Jaime :smile:

Turkey chili with no beans, let everyone top their own with chopped onion, jalapeños, cheese, tortilla chips, hot sauce. Maybe even throw out some turkey franks and buns for chili dogs if someone wants?

I mostly use olive oil, some coconut, and sometimes you just need real butter! Moderation is key. For example, I made fried potatoes for the hubs tonight. I started with a small amount of OO, and when it could have used more, I added water, put a lid over it and let them steam for the remaining time.

Checking in, just looked & realized it's been 10 days. Oops! Still going strong and steady. I'm down a few more pounds for a total of 8 pounds lost since Jan. 6th. Two more to go to make my goal for this month!:happy: :happy: :happy:

Broiled catfish fillet w/ lemon, basil, and oregano, four grape tomatoes, and 5 marinated mushrooms w/ bell pepper. Not a very creative night, but I shared a big cobb salad with my friend for lunch. :smile:

Fantastic! You've come a long way, you've got this!!!

This was our dinner tonight. It had potential to be VERY tasty, but the recipe (below) was a bit heavy on the salt for my taste. I will make it again though with a few small changes & maybe add some mushrooms. :smile: Roasted Shrimp & Broccoli www.FoodiesNetwork.TV 1. Heat the oven to 425. 2. On a large cookie sheet, toss…

Oh my... this looks tasty!

Woot! Woot! Guess we need to plan some Super Bowl snacks! Here's a few ideas... Chunky guacamole and whole grain tortilla chips- don't mash the avocado, chop it in to small pieces, mix with fresh salsa & chopped cilantro Party wings baked with Franks hot sauce & ranch dip (use non fat sour cream) Crock pot of turkey chili-…

My girlfriend made cauliflower crust cheesy "bread" today. It looked fantastic!!!

Fantastic! I am also a shoorty and you are so right about how even just a few pounds make a difference in our figures. Im down 8 pounds, cant wiat to be down with you!

My dinner tonight was a huge homemade hamburger patty topped with 2 slices of muenster cheese, a poached egg, and avocado. I'm taking a low carb approach to my weight loss, but I'm still logging my food. Even with this 800 calorie meal, I was still under my calories because I had eaten smaller, lighter meals earlier today.…

Toot! Toot! :bigsmile: You look fantastic, keep up the good work!!!

I also keep hard boiled eggs on hand, raw almonds, string cheese, and 100% veggie juice too.

Buffalo bacon chicken Lightly oil the bottom of a baking pan,, pour Franks original hot sauce over chicken breasts . Top with bacon strips and crumbled blue cheese. Bake at 350 for about 30 mins. Easy and my husband loves it!

I put a little water in a non stick pan, crack the egg in and cover with a lid. The egg will steam to your desired doneness and is easy to get out of the pan. It also looks pretty. LOL

About 10 years ago, I lost a lot of weight. I was at 117 pounds from 135. I went from a C cup to what I called "Barely a B". I swear it felt like I just had little chicken cutlets hanging off my chest. So off to the surgeon I went. These days I'm a 38 DD, up from a 36 D from the original surgery.

31.5 pounds is awesome! I just did the math if I can do the same thing, I could hit my goal for my birthday in April! You are an inspiration!!!

You look so happy and beautiful!!! Congrats on your accomplishments. :smile:

Monday marked my one week on the 21 day sugar detox & I am down 4 pounds. :smile:

I have been on 21 DSD since the 6th & have noticed a difference also. My tummy is also not as bloated. These are good things!

Usually a few raw almonds or a dill pickle. LOL

I'm so happy for you! Congratulations on your success... you are an inspiration. :)

I guess I'm one of the odd people here. I've been on Depo since my son was born other than for one year when I considered getting pregnant. My son will be 20 in May. I've gained a few pounds, but that has been due to my lack of regard for what I put in my mouth, and I guess I should probably expect to weigh a little more…

Absolutely amazing, you don't even look like the same person!!! Congratulations on your new found self and freedom. I also would like to compliment your writing, you're quite talented & tell your story well. :)

Fantastic results!

Whooohoooo!!!! Fantastic job, you look terrific!!!

Nice work! I am also 5'2" and started at 164. You give me hope and inspiration!!!
