I usually eat an orange for my morning snack. At night I keep pineapple around. Not sure if they are proven methods but they sure are working for me.

I held onto a bunch of pants from college. And college was a long time ago....lol I am actually going through them now and am back at college weight. I bought two pairs of pants last weekend that i could have worn in high school. Going down in pant size is a great thing. The only problem with this weight loss thing is it…

I keep Special K protein bars and fruit handy at all times. Sometimes it might be hard for me to get something to eat. Especially healthy. The bar and fruit tends to tide me over though. NSV=Non scale victory

Haven't been to one since April. Don't plan to ever enter one again.

I drink at least one of the big mtn dews a day. I also drink well over one hundred and thirty ounces of water a day.

I guess I am lucky that our school has a fresh salad bar everyday with lots of good veggies on it and salad dressing options. Is this unique to where I am or is this something that occurs more frequently?

Trust me it will slow down. In the beginning I did the same thing.

Grill, meats, fish, veggies...Start out marinating everything in fat free italian dressing.

I can't wait to stop having to buy new clothes all the time. It is nice though I finally don't have to buy from the big and tall anymore. Regular clothing you can always find on sale.

Find a good multi vitamin as well as looking at your dietary needs.

People started noticing mine at about 30. But I think it was because i was so big to begin with.

Great job awesome change

Cold Stone Creamery or as I like to call the place the devil. PB&C shake Gotta Have It 2010 Calories. How is this even possible? lol

I always keep fresh pineapple in the fridge. Also try consuming lots of water when you feel hungry. I have been doing this since the first of May and have had a few night relapses. But by eating healthier through the day the few times I have had the night urges haven't affected my goals.

I have been drinking well over 140 ounces of water a day. I haven't noticed any yet. I will be at my college weight within the next couple of weeks. I had a gut then but I am close to going to an xl shirt. I haven't worn an extra large shirt since i was 15 or 16. Ok to my point I still have fat but the loose skin isn't as…

Don't eat your excercise calories back for a week then step on the scales.

I switched from the megamen to the wally world brand. Haven't seen any real difference but with my diet i know i need the added nutrients.

I feel your pain...in the wallet. Congrats on the weight loss. I am going to go buy one suit this weekend for a few functions i know i will have to attend before christmas. I still have some to lose so I am putting off buying any more suits until then. The person I called about alterations said the same thing as above. Buy…

I have considered it and know people that have had it done. The thing is a couple of them have put back on the weight with gastric bypass. They went back to eating all the same old stuff they had before. I know I had to make a lifestyle change and that i was addicted to food, still am. Guess it is better than other vices.…

Skinny cow ice cream!

When is started MFP back in late April early May of this year it was after I had a physical. The only thing that came back on me as being good was my Cholesterol I was eating at least three dozen eggs a week. I have started microwaving eggs in a microwave egg dish. I then throw them on a 100 calorie burrito shell and head…

Diet is such an ugly word to those of us who have struggled with weight. I am looking at it as a lifestyle change. I am excercising everyday and eating healthy. A diet has never done me any good. I have lost fifty sixty pounds before in no time and it come right back. What I am striving for is the ability to make good food…

Lots of water and i use to hate chewing gum, I have started chewing gum and that seems to take some of the issues I have with eating away.

I use to sweat all the time. It didn't matter if it was ten degrees outside if i exerted myself at all i sweated. In the past month i have seen drastic changes, the heat does not bother me at all anymore. I still sweat but not like i use to. I use to never get cold, I am having some issues. I am loosing my insulation I…

I like to buy the split chicken breasts....bone and skin included. You get these much cheaper and with a good knife you can have that breast away from the bone in seconds. Peel of the skin and good to go. Good way to save some money and it seems that these are usually larger than the ones already cut away from the bone.

Part of me can't wait for school to start back, part of me worries about all the temptation. Doughnuts, baked godies and the such in the mornings. School lunches usually aren't that bad. On the good side we have a wonderful salad bar everyday at lunch. I am getting ready to start my 14th year in education. This year as…

Second the mashed cauliflower. Boil it for about ten minutes. Put in a colander to drain the water off. Put back into empty pan and use a potato masher on it until you get a smooth consistency. Little bit of milk to thin it out salt and pepper and pretty tasty. Might put some garlic in it and then shake some parmesean on…

Use to be everything that was ethnic....mexican italian american..... Splurge food now Skinny cow ice cream bars

Use fiber one cereal not the flake one. The one that looks like well it doesn't look good at all. But actually has a nice sweet taste to it. Run it through a food processor then dredge your chicken in egg and coat. It also makes great baked onion rings.

Hoping to get a new Heart Rate Monitor tuesday....:)
