Seems silly to ban the use of salt in restaurants. And salt might not be as bad for you as many would think. Check out the abstract to this study (shown below), it summarizes findings related to salt. The study included over 1000 people who were measured over a period of 5 years. Basically high salt intake was associated…

I am currently at around 245lbs, 5'6", and wearing size 20-22 jeans, XXL shirts My goal weight is 150 and to be honest I have no idea what that would look like on me or what jean size that would be. I chose that goal so that I would be considered "healthy" according to BMI. It will be interesting to see what size I will be…

I pretty much log everything except for when I occasionally forget to add my diet dr. pepper. And I don't log when I use a pinch of seasoned salt or take vitamins. Once I ate 5 raisinettes but I couldn't be bothered trying to figure out how many calories that had since 5 is a long way from the serving size of 1/4 cup. I…

Great job! I can't wait to get down to 200...and then come the 100s. I am excited for the both of us!

Awesome! Welcome to the group. I am glad we have so many members! I hope we can all be there for each other.

Wow you have quite a rigorous workout schedule. Not sure how you do it! I think I need to find an exercise I actually enjoy. I will probably just stick with walking around my neighborhood at least for now. But it is awesome that you found something that motivates you!

Congrats! I love hearing that people have reached their goals...it makes everything seem doable.

Quaker Chocolate Crunch rice cakes 60 calories each. Very good for a chocolate craving.

I like squash so I will have to try this type sometime. Sounds fun!

Sounds awesome and flavorful! I will have to borrow my mom's slow cooker!

You should try Hillshire Farms Polska Kielbasa Lite. I actually prefer it over the regular since it tastes a lot less salty.

Luckily my fiance has been really supportive of me losing weight. He loves my body the way it is, but he also wants me to be healthy and happy. You could tell your husband that you are losing weight so you don't develop diabetes, high blood pressure, ect. and so you have the energy to take care of your kids (I assume you…

Welcome to the group! 150 is also my goal weight...then I will be considered healthy according to BMI. Can't wait for that day, but if I continue it should take around a year to get down to that weight if I consistently loose 2lbs a week. A year to loose 100lbs seems doable and actually not too long considering how long it…

I have always wanted to visit Japan especially the onsen and cherry blossom viewing. And of course all the otaku stuff. Did you find it hard to adjust to their culture? I have heard that the Japanese will never fully accept you as one of them and will always see you as a gaijin.

Ah my fiance is from the North and it rained a lot...but on the up side the temperatures are pretty mild and the grass stays green and soft. He plans on immigrating here..we actually are going through the process of getting his fiance visa so we can get married. The plane ride is around 7 or 8 hours...just bring a book to…

Sounds fun! My fiance lives in England and I have been there a lot. Usually a few months in summer and during the holidays in winter. Just get used to everything being small..houses, cars, washing machines, ect. Oh and make sure to bring an umbrella! A good place to shop for stylish plus size clothes there is Neu Look. I…

Welcome to the group Star Stuck and Tennisref! Official weigh ins start next Monday! @Tennis: I just started about 6 days ago and adding in your daily calories and stuff is so easy. I actually seem to have more energy and have been less down since I started. This is the first time that has happened and I feel really…

@Jenn: My scale came in today. YAY! I weighed in at 245.2 lbs...so I was really close to my estimate of 250. Also, I have been following the site for 5 or 6 days so I am not sure how much I actually lost and how much was just from my overestimate. @Shellrock: Welcome to the group! My excuse is also being fat and lazy and…

sounds like an awesome reward! I checked out the website and considered joining, but they didn't have 9 1/2s.

The taccoli salad sounds awesome!

Welcome to the group!! It is great to see so many people joining..I had no idea there was so many of us. We will battle together!
-
Great job to those who were able to weigh in this week. We will officially start next week with weigh ins. On a side note my scale should be here tomorrow so cross your fingers for me and hope that I am not over my estimated weight.

Any dark wash boot cut jean is always in style.

Welcome to the group!

The place I go to is locally owned and not part of a chain. It seems to use better quality ingredients and the food is less greasy that those I have been to in the past. I usually go there around twice a month. I guess I will have to find recipes to make it at home instead.

Um this is from when I was a kid but Crispy Critters cereal. I used to love it and the mascot was super cute! The cereal consisted of individual pieces that were akin to miniature animal crackers in their shape, appearance, taste and texture. I actually wrote a letter to Post saying that they should bring them back, but I…

I completely agree! I don't think I would be able to do this without my fiance'. He has never pushed me to lose weight and loves me no matter my size, but he also fully supports me and encourages me when I am doing what I want. It took me a lot of time and a lot of excuses but I finally think I am ready to lose the weight.…

Yeah Mondays sound like a good day to weigh in. So those that can weigh in this Monday do so, but since I don't have a scale yet (it is coming in the mail) I am officially going to start weighing in next week. It kinda sucks that I won't see the results of my week.
