Amonds, almond butter, peanut butter, some string cheese with your apple. Those are all good healthy ways to get some calories in.

Buy your meats, then divide up into the amounts you'll use in a dish. Package them individually and freeze. There's less waste that way. Buy fresh seasonal veggies to use right away, and frozen for later when those run out.

It started with my daughter's wedding in April. I knew it was coming up and knew there'd be photographs. And I didn't want to look terrible in them. And somewhere along the line it morphed into losing weight for me, to be healthier and look better for me.

I went to get highlights tonight. I hadn't been in for 13 weeks. My hair lady was all "You've lost a boatload of weight!" It felt really good :)

Yay, that's terrific!

I love Swiss chard. Cut it up, cook some ground turkey and season with garlic, fennel and some red pepper flakes. Put in the chard and a little water and steam it. It's so good!

Protein! Chicken or fish are good. Sometimes beef is what I need.

You've come such a long way and look so good! Keep up the good work!:happy:

There is definitely a difference! You are looking great!

That is really great!

Honestly, I haven't noticed any differences. Well, other than people I know telling me how great I look. I've lost 77 lbs so far. But as far as treating me differently, I haven't noticed anything. I'll have to pay attention more and see. I do tend to be the kind of person people tell their life stories too anyway though.

Yes! Good for you for sticking with it! You can do this!!! You really can! I totally know those days - the soccer, the 4 kids at Coscto. It sounds like you're living my life :) But you can do it!

I figured it out. My first time posting pics :)

That's wonderful!!!

I followed your link and it says women tend to estimate their ideal weight LOW. And it turned out to be correct for me, at least according to their calculator. I've been aiming for 135 and it says my ideal weight is 146. Go figure.

I thought sucralose was Splenda. So it's got HFCS and an artificial sweetener? Yuck.

Since eating back the exercise calories isn't working, I'd try not eating them back for a week, and see what happens.

I just ate a Gala apple. Calories were around 70 I think maybe

I'm so sorry about your ring! I hope you can find it somehow. But your weight loss is terrific!

Wow! You look great!

I've had 5 c-sections, the most recent was 9 1/2 years ago. My pouch is still numb, it feels weird. And I don't like pressure on my incision site either. I'm sure that being overweight for years and years hasn't helped my skin either. But I'm losing weight and hoping that it won't be too horrendous. I don't want surgery,…

String cheese. Almond butter. Vanilla yogurt.

1 scoop Pure Protein 100% Natural Protein powder, vanilla creme flavor 1 c frozen triple berry blend (blueberries, raspberries and blackberries) 6 oz water blend

My shoes are loose, but the funniest thing is my earlobes are smaller! Who knew you stored fat in your earlobes?

Are you nursing? when I was nursing I had a hard time losing until the baby was 12 months or so. Then it got easier.

I was told to take Biotin for hair loss. I haven't tried it yet though.

Forgive yourself for the binge, and then start over again right now. Drink some water and have a healthy dinner tonight.

You look terrific! And I love that pink dress :)

Beef and veggie stir fry with rice.

Yes, I know what you are saying. But then all the time I hear people say how weight loss surgery is taking the easy way out, or words to that effect. So I can understand people being hesitant telling that's how they are losing or have lost their weight. And then there are those people who are so quick to lecture or tell…
