YAY! great job...you are doing so great. Stay focused and keep plugging away! :bigsmile:

bumping this thread for sure. I never gave up Mexican food. Just lowered my portion size and watched those baskets of chips. My favorite restaurant in town is locally owned and because we are there once or twice a week they have started to cater to my diet needs. A chicken fajita nacho is now a chicken fajita salad. They…

you must be on cloud nine! Great job, stay focused.

May 19 this year I went into One-derland. Haven't been there in almost seven years. I quietly celebrated it. Three days later my town, Joplin, Mo was hit by a devastating tornado. And I found myself lost and full of emotions I had never had before. I realized how food was such a comfort for myself and people around me. I…

that's almost exactly what I do...it's so easy in the car on the way to work ( I make a little sandwich out of it). I also have 8oz of skim milk to wash it down.

"Alright son, step away from the sweets!".....Don't let a couple of days throw you completely of course. If this is a fad for you then maybe you shouldn't worry. But you are reaching out for support, so you know your decisions are less than perfect. Make this exciting time in your life even better by knowing you did all…

Awesome! Stay strong little sis!

my goal when fixing dinner is to make enough leftovers for my self and my husband. I put those away first so I don't eat them as seconds! And it helps my husband have a great lunch, that will help him meet his weight loss goals too.

Yay!!!! your story is so close to mine. I would like to have 2 more inches in height you have on me. Great job! Keeps me going. Add me if you would like always looking for support.

I had to adjust my eating habits to lose weight so I could exercise. I would guess it would depend on how much you have to lose and how fast you want o lose it. In the beginning I had no plans of exercising, but when some of the weight came off I couldn't help but begin slowly with that too. God bless

What a doll you are. In all the pictures your smiles just glows. Congrats on the weight loss!:happy:

Great job! Amazing story. Thanks for sharing your success!

I am in... 36 years old Female HW 250 ish CW 198 GW 160-170... comfortable for my hippy frame 5'3" Come find me twinnie!

I struggled with that too. My husband was over 315 and is now down to the 280's and he thinks I am coaching people into comments because he is just now getting them. Seems sometimes other people aren't as hung up on our weight as we are. I lost forty and my doctor didn't even say anything! But I know how I feel and how I…

When I started I just stuck to the food pyramid and tweaked it is needed. It was nice because my children are familiar with it and they can help see the balance of a meal. All the other numbers kinda fell in line as I worked it out in the real world of life. Hope this will help.

Beautiful profile pic, btw. No matter your goals, it's important to you. A warm welcome from a fellow newby ( less than a month). This site really is encouraging! Feel free to add me...would love the support and to be there with you on this journey.

LouWho seems you started something! AS USUAL! I am waiting to get to 200 to have Mol do my hair...if I can wait that long. You've got awesome goals and I admire that. I think I set mine too low but who knows how this year will go. Little rewards might be the trick! take me on the mani/pedi trip...I can see my toes! HA

Mine is Lucille Ball and Dezi Arnez...back in the day. They are just so in love looking. She was such a classy lady.

bump!

How much is a serving and how much does this recipe make? btw, bump

How about a fresh fruit salad with some almonds? Hope you come out on top dear.
