I make baked chicken parm using the skinnytaste.com recipe. I've also adjusted her recipe to use sliced tomatoes instead of sauce on it if I'm trying to save calories for the day and it's still delicious! Many of her recipes call for tenderloins so what I've been doing is cutting the chicken breast in 1/2 width wise. It's…

Wow! You are georgeous!! Nice to see it's possible too. I think you're the 1st I've seen around the 300 mark down to the 120's. I started out at 263 and thought I would be happy at 180, excatic at 150, but now I know that I can go even lower!!! Thank you for the inspiration!

I'm a black member as my son would occasionally go with me. I love this gym! We have a Gold's by us also that I will go with a friend but I hate that place. Too many showoffs and people to make me self concious in Gold's!! At PF I always feel comfortable. I think they all do this, but I recomend working with one of the…

You ARE my hero for the day. Love it!!! Have you found stuff that it does not have in the database?

I was prescribed that for preventing migraines also by my GP. My Gyno was very upset when she found out because all of her patients have gained a lot of weight on it. I gained 15 lbs before I took myself off of it. That was the choice I had to make. It did reduce the migraines though but since I was already obese, I did…

So how do you do this? I have the scanner app on my phone already.

I dug out an old pair of pants this morning and noticed the same thing! I was going to try to wear them but I hate that tight feeling. The reason that pushed me to do this in the 1st place!! Keep working and you'll be in them in no time!

Wow! You are beautiful!! Congrats on your success!

^^THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I too did this in '05 and lost 70lbs. Great right?? NOOOOO! I felt like garbage while on it (dizzy spells, always hungry), gained all the weight back + more through this year and I swear my butt took the brunt of the weight gain. It is not sustainable as staying withing your macros for the…

Yes. I have discovered though if I keep myself out of the kitchen it helps. If I'm doing dishes or laundry I've been gravitating to the fridge. As far as the middle of the night thing I hear you there too as my husband gets home around 2 in the morning and always has something yummy (but not healthy) for dinner and…

Yes. I have a few a week. They're so yummy and if you pull them apart they take a little longer to eat, therefore you can savor the cheesy goodness!

Yummy bump!

Wow. Great job!! :drinker: I've been on here 5 months and I don't see that much of a difference in myself. How much have you lost and what have you been doing to look so great?

Make it at home! My family are huge pizza fans and I like a piece too. I buy just regular pizza dough in the grocery store, add my own sauce, low fat cheese & spinach. When I put this into the recipe builder here it came out to be around 190 calories a slice. It definately cures the pizza craving but 1/2 the calories,…

I didn't think that I could do it either but I pushed through and did it. It felt amazing! I'd go in with the attitude that I will try it but if I need to stop for a second and start back up, I will do so. So far that has worked for me. I'm up to Week 5 Day 3 next. I'm really scared because it's 20 min straight run. It…

I've lost just over 40 and no one really says anything. My husband just finally started complimenting and one other person who sees me occasionally mentioned it. It's very frustrating but your time will come. When YOU know you're rocking that wedding dress next year, you'll be the one that's won! Remember, we're doing this…

I was just trying to figure out how to make cream of broccoli soup. Close enough!!

Yummy!

This is what I'm hear for too. To retrain myself to eating smaller portions of any food that I want to have. I also did the Atkins diet years ago, dropped 70 lbs but regained it + more as soon as I went back to regular food. It took a while but it all piled back on and I swear it went to my lower half! I still limit carbs,…

Depends on the person and where they're dropping weight. I've lost over 40 lbs and really felt like I've gone down at most 2 sizes. I still wear the same pants, just with a belt. But I was really squeezing into my clothes before I started this.

Isn't it the best?!! Even if I wasn't changing my eating, the recipes on it are delicious and call for ingredients actually in my cabinets!

Bump

Track is all I can say. I didn't realize how poorly I was eating until I started tracking every single day. The little things you may have during the day add up. Even if you go over, you still need to track. It will help you realize what is making you go over. Also, are you watching sodium intake? I started tracking my…

You look gorgeous! Wonderful job! It's funny how a picture taken can change a life around isn't it? I had the same wake up call. Darn Facebook tagging!

It's October, do bobbing for apples or hang cider donuts from the ceiling as the kids try to eat them without using their hands.

I try to stick to rum or vodka mixed with diet soda. Typical cocktails are out. I've given up my precious margaritas for the time being as I'd prefer to not drink all my calories. I've also cut back on the alcohol as with me I've found I lose better, even if I did stay within my calories for the day

Great job! Any suggestions on how you got there so quickly? I was going good at first with a solid minimum 10 lbs/month but have slowed down the last couple of months.

I stay motivated by seeing how far I've come so far. I have on my wall in my bathroom a chart of my weekly weigh ins since May. Every morning I look at it and am reminded of how far I've come. Even though somedays I lack the motivation and would love to just eat what I want and lay in bed all day. That piece of paper with…

Oh that sound delish! I've never cooked spaghetti squash before but I'm going to try it now!

Sounds delish!
