  • Spaghetti Squash with a home made meat sauce. It's so filling, and so low calorie- especially with the 96% lean ground beef. We sprinkle some parmesan on it.

  • Nice job! You know, your body might fill those fat cells with water once the fat has been burned, and you wont see a big difference on the scale. Then one day you find yourself peeing a lot or sweating or something to use up all that fluid and bam, you lose 4lbs practically overnight.

  • 2oz milk, 2oz carrot juice with pulp, 2oz banana, 2oz strawberries, 2oz frozen blueberries, 2oz frozen dark sweet cherries, 1oz spinach. I add chia seeds at the end. It is super yummy. Sometimes I use half the strawberries frozen because I don't like the grainy texture from the carrot pulp, and having it just a bit more…

  • Hello! Have you been to 'Jimmy Johns'? They have the nutritional information on their website. They're really good- you can get a decent sandwich (WITH Mayo, no cheese) for 500 or less calories (you do have to look at the online nutritional information first, though). They also offer an 'Unwich' which is without the bread…

  • I am so sorry for your loss. I'm 28, and while I had a good cry and looked regretfully at the past years of my life I've decided I wasted nothing. I gained life experience. And really, for me, I absolutely loved all the food I was eating to get me here (My highest was 500lbs 3 years ago) and while I wish I knew how to…
