I had a large Wendy's Chili for supper and I'm still full.

I just made this soup today, it is fantastic. Thanks!

Carrot/potato soup, almond crusted tilapia, steamed green beans.

Maybe incorporate some stretching exercises in your foreplay? ( ;

You look terrific! Thanks for the inspiration.

Wow, just look at your legs! Terrific! What a difference in less than a year!

Looking to make your veggies taste better? Try balsamic vinager--very very flavorful. Great on summer vegetables. I like to make a salad of just tomatoes, sweet onion, cucumber, and peppers drizzled with balsamic vinager and sprinkled with feta cheese. The fall veggies like squash and root vegetables can be roasted with…

Loved your post and pics. Thanks for the inspiration. Terrific work, you look fabulous.

Wow, you look amazing. Very inspiring. But don't be pissed off. Your journey to good health is part of who you are. If you like yourself now, it is in part because of who you were then.

Fantastic! Make yourself a vow that you will never see 200 again! Great job.

I went on vacation for a week, ate Greek, Italian, Creole, Thai, and Texas BBQ and enjoyed it all. I still made sensible choices--lots of veggies, appropriate serving sizes, watched the fat content, etc. And I even had amazing desserts--but shared them with at least 2 to 3 other people. I felt normal, and the little weight…

Much more definition with your weight loss. V ery pretty picture.

My hands! My rings all fit again, and my fingernails love my healthy diet. They are smooth, and long, and strong. Now, if I could do the same for my legs!

Thanks! But I try not to use my old NON energy efficient oven if I don't have to!

I have to eat on the road quite a bit. Wendy's has a great salad, their chili is good--sometimes I pour it directly over one of their baked potatoes. McDonald's Asian Chicken salad is good. KFC grilled chicken is decent, and at least you can get veggies other than French fries there. I like Burger King veggie burgers with…

If you like the consistancy of Greek yogurt just strain it overnight through cheesecloth and throw the water away. I use plain Greek yogurt just like sour cream on Mexican dishes, baked potatoes, dips, etc. If you like fruity yogurts, add sweetener and fruit. Great with granola. I add Greek yogurt to my homemade hummus…

Learn to like beans! Garbonzos are great in salads and you can make a wonderful hummus with pureed garbonzos. Fatfree refried beans make great tacos and wraps with all veggie toppins and salsa. Add lentils to vegetable soup. Black bean soup is easy and one of our family favorites, and black beans are great instead of meat…

You may have some situational depression. Depression needs to be taken seriously when normal activities of living become difficult. You may benefit from an antidepressant medication to feel better. See your doctor, and good luck. Keep coming back here for help and inspiration. We all need to help each other.

Have you tried their Asian Chicken Salad? Very good; I use about half of the ginger dressing it comes with. Snack wraps with grilled chicken aren't too bad. But these two things and their oatmeal and coffee are about the only things I buy there.

You are an inspiration. Thanks for posting your story, Lloyd. It is so motivating to know it can be done.

Taco Bell "fresco" style tacos, chicken or beef, both delicious. Three of them under 500 cals.

My new favorite summer breakfast is lowfat cottage cheese topped with sliced strawberries, blueberries and pecans. I also throw on a light sprinkle of Splenda. It is delicious and I right now I have to force myself not to eat it for every meal.

I was physically disciplined as a child and vowed I would not do that with my kids. For the most part, I did not spank. It is MUCH harder and takes incredible patience and self-discipline to use better methods. So yes, once in a while I lost patience and spanked them, but I am not proud of it. Having said that, it did not…

Great job. So do you get fresh fruit and veggies over there? How hard is it to eat healthy with the meals you are served? And like everyone has said, thank you for your service and know you and everyone over there are in my thoughts and prayers every day. Take care of yourself.
-
Good for you! Glad you have a supportive wife to cheer you on!
-
Way to jump back on the wagon. Good for you.
-
It all sounds delicious. I avoid these kinds of places like the plague since I have such a long road ahead. But if you are doing well and can handle a night off the wagon, I think you have made some yummy choices. Maybe put half in a box to take to a loved one since servings are probably generous.

Holy cow you look terrific! Buying a wedding dress now will be a good inspiration to stay the size you are now!
