I was not much of a breakfast eater before MFP either, and I have to say that I have felt much better since making myself take the time for breakfast. I like to mix it up, eggs one day, cereal the next, always a good citrus juice or vegetable juice. To get your veggies in, throw last night's leftover veggies into your…

It's those darned hormones! Seriously, it is biological. Laugh at it, volunteer somewhere where you can cuddle babies or work with tots, but don't let these crazy hormones let you make any bad decisions. It is a HUGE responsibility to bring a new life into the world, and you want to be ready for it.

I'll be glad to support you! I can't always check in daily, but I usually am on at least every other day. Maybe you need some new friends. There are a LOT of us out here!

I know what it is like trying to order healthy fast food. My work requires a lot of time on the road and I have to use fast food restaurants a lot. But most of the fast food places do have things you can eat, so check out their websites or ask for a nutrition guide on your next visit. My favorites are Subway--for breakfast…

"Ive been vegan for a while transitioning to raw if you buy patties make sure that they're certified vegan and not vegetarian. Look for black bean patties they're yummy and high in protein. " I would agree. My daughter is vegan; I am not but I love these black bean patties!

Phenomenal loss! What an inspiration. You look terrific--I'll bet it's fun to shop for new clothes now.

I hear you. I have bad knees and just getting through my day wears me out. Eating healthier has helped my energy level stay steady through the day, but exercise is still the last thing I want to do when I get home. SO...for now, after a healthy dinner and all my household stuff is done, I watch my favorite shows and use…

Don't give up. You can stick to this. My husband ate like yours and had a heart attack in his late thirties. Not that yours will, but if you can manage to introduce him to some healthier kinds of foods while still making his favorites, your whole family will benefit. And it really does FEEL better to eat healthy--you'll…

I roast my cauliflower with cloves of garlic and a light olive oil drizzle, then puree and add Greek yogurt and a touch of melted butter and Parmesan cheese to taste. It is to die for yummy if you crave mashed potatoes.

I know it sounds bizarre but I made some pickled eggs and beets with Splenda and it makes a delicious snack. I used small size eggs and a can of whole little beets and added some sliced Vidalia onions. Just let me know if you want the recipe.

My kids and I love spinach omellettes. Saute onion in a little olive oil, add spinach, add eggs, toss in just a little sharp cheese--we love feta, but chedder, swiss, and just about any other kind works too. It is delicious. We also make Greek spinach and rice (find a recipe that doesn't use too much oil-we make ours with…

I love cheese--it is satisfying to me in small amounts. Gordon Food Service sells several different kinds of cheese in cubes that are only 25-30 calories a piece. Havarti is my favorite. I'll eat a couple of cubes with an apple or a couple Triscuits or just by themselves.

50 calorie frozen fudge bars if you need chocolate, frozen grapes, Edy's real fruit bars, rice crackers-so low cal and great with hummus or salsa. 25 calorie cheese cubes from GFS (Gordon's) I love the Harvarti. Extra eggs to hardboil for a protein snack.

Great milestone! You are on your way!

The last 10 lbs are always the hardest to get off. Your body is trying to stablize your weight loss because it doesn't want you to starve! I would bump up your exercise, if you can, to bump up your metabolism and get you off the plateau. And make sure you are getting the calories you should be getting.

Hey, you gave up SMOKING! Do you know that nicotine is the most addictive substance there is? If you can do that, you can make the healthy changes you wrote about. Good plan to focus on just five pounds a month being your goal. Don't worry about who else notices, YOU will notice. You will feel better, have more energy,…

You are not kidding. I looked at his site--mouthwatering low-cal recipes! Thanks for the tip!

Fruit is not so boring if you make an edible arrangement! It is so easy and gets a LOT of attention. Just spear different colored melon cubes, strawberries, different kinds of grapes, fresh pineapple, etc on thin wooden skewers and poke them into a melon half--it is as colorful as flowers and everybody wants to grab a…

Are you kidding? Seriously, you look amazing! It takes a lot of will and dedication to lose this much weight! And it shows, don't worry. Focus on how much better you feel and keep it up. Be sure to reread all these comments when you start to feel down on yourself.

Good luck getting back on track. Doesn't it feel better eating well? Thanks for the support.
