Your TOTM could be the issue. It always is with me. This is the first time in my 4 months of doing this where I've had it on my weigh in day. Sucks big time! I had to log a 1lb gain this morning. It does help to drink lots of water though. It at least makes me feel better at least. Just plug on through and you'll see a…

Wow you look amazing! You also look a lot younger.

I have noticed the same thing with those items. Try to spread them out so your not having all of those items on the same day. You can't avoid sodium, but you can limit it by eating less processed items. For example I love lowfat cottage cheese, low in calories & fat and was delicious mixed with jarred peaches. I only eat…

Stick with simple ingredient drinks like rum & diet coke/pepsi (my fave) and stay away from the fruity concoctions. Vodka & rum have only 60 cals per oz. I almost died when I found my homemade strawberry margaritas were over 200 cals per drink!

^This!! At my gym about a month ago there was a lady on a treadmill that had the speed set waaaay to high. She was tripping & stumbling all over the place. She never went down but I was waiting & watching for her to go flying into the wall. Even one of the trainers was watching her closely. Good thing the weights machines…

One of my favorite chicken recipes is off of skinnytaste.com. It's baked chicken parmesan. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/04/baked-chicken-parmesan.html Baking is always better then frying IMO. I used to avoid breading but if you're breading it yourself you're really not using that much bread crumbs. Also just a little…

Make the best choices that you can. You have the knowledge. When I go out to eat I only eat 1/2 of the serving. Plus usually when you're on vacation you're doing exercising like lots of walking & swimming. Just make the best food choices and drink lots of water, but going on vacation is about enjoying yourself, so please…

I've seen both eggplant and zuchini used. Also cottage cheese in place of ricotta but ricotta isn't that high in fat.

How did you do it? Any pointers?

Wow! You look gorgeous!!

Search for oatmeal pancakes in the recipe section. They are delicious & low calorie. I also added blueberries so you can have them without butter or toppings. Very yummy!

For sweets in my house I buy things that I purposely don't like or can easily live without. Only buy candy that you can stand to not eat. If I lived in a neighborhood I would pass out Baby Ruths's. Yuck!! I hate coconut!

Yup same thing happens to me

Just a 2 piece by next summer and my old levis within the next couple of months. Blue 2 pieces used to be so hot with my tatoo when I was younger. I want that back! Plus my husband has been bugging me to get a 2 piece. I want to look good in it and I won't wear one until I feel comfortable. No more tankinis!

You look like a new person. Very handsome!

You look amazing! Very nice!

Did you check skinnytaste.com? They have recipes there for everything.

You've made the 1st step! I started out at 263 the end of May and I'm now down to 226. Not as far as I'd originally hoped, but this is a lifestyle change and I'll take it. Slow & steady wins the race, right? I can't explain how good it feels to pull out clothes that I haven't worn in 4 years and have them fit. I also hate…

Baked chicken parm off of skinnytaste.com. Yummmmm

Wow! You look like a different person. I'm in the 220's now and I can't wait to see the 140's!

^^This! We make our own pizzas and the kids love it this way! My son won't order spinach pizza when we're out but if we make it at home, that's his request. How do you make your own dough BTW? We've just been using store bought. One piece suffices for me and it's not horribly unhealthy.

Since I love to bake & my family loves it too, I try to bake stuff that I don't particularly care for. That way I'm not tempted!

Skinnytaste.com I live there. You can find a healthy recipe for almost anything. Plus the ingredients tend to be ones that I already have. No crazy ingredients that I will only use once!

I think the "img" needs to be in lower case

Definately avacadoes!! Also my family has found a new favorite meal, Easy broccoli & cheese caserole. Either I found it on here or on skinnytaste.com. Either way MFP introduced me to skinnytaste

bump. Looks amazing and I think that it will taste just as amazing!!
