I usually get the $5 footlong black forest ham. I add: pepperjack cheese, spinach, tomatoes, pickles, onions, bell pepper, banana pepper, and fat free Italian dressing. I will eat half and have the other later. I love all those veggies!

Oh my goodness! Snow days coming aain and I'm going to get more apples so I can try all these! Thanks a gazillion!

Congrats- you are looking awesome! Look forward to the next round of pics! :-)

You look great. I look forward to seeing your next success pics. Maybe I will have some of my own by that time! :-)

Fasting is actually biblical, and though it does deal with spirituality, I think most people acknowledge that the physical/mental/emotional/ and spiritual are all connected, so I believe there's nothing wrong with fasting every now and then. But like all things- moderation. I think this is a brilliant way to get back on…

For some reason I can't go back and edit or delete old posts. I guess this is a bump!

Congrats- you look awesome! My journey has been inspired by one of my senior students who is your age. Great to see another young guy change his life while he's so young!

lol I've lost a bald eagle, but overall have a newborn baby giraffe to lose... I will be halfway there when I lose an elephant's penis! What can I say? Pretty animalistic achievements/goals! =)

Now that sounds brilliant!

I had a terrible night on Thursday night/ Friday morning. About 1am I had this insane craving and ended up eating almost an entire box of Triscuit crackers. Even though I worked out more yesterday than I have in years, I still went over my calories by almost 1000. I'm still sick about it. I avoided the scale yesterday, and…

We were at the hair salon, and I was waxing your eyebrows. It was my first time, and I accidentally dropped wax on your eyelashes and got one of your eyes stuck closed. When we tried to remove the wax, we discovered the salon was out of the oil to remove it, so I had to *carefully* cut off your eyelashes. Afterward, you…

The best benefit of joining at work would be the group support. You have that on here, at your own time, and probably far more than you'd ever need. That being said, there is something special about having people around you who help hold you accountable. No one that I know is obsessed with losing as I am, so having this…

Not if I don't have to! lol I'm new at this, and sometimes I just want to eat the extra calories. However, I AM single, so therefore not too messy, but when I clean my tile floors, I mop them twice, and that is a LOT of work, and by gosh I'm gonna count it!

I adore my two dogs. They're definitely my little babies! =) I miss the pretty weather where I can take them out for long walks. They cut down on my actual exercise due to untangling myself occasionally, but they keep me from being bored. I've been snowed in all week with just me and them, and they've been the best company…

The gadget I love and use the most? My microwave! :-p

I LOVE this. I totally agree! You are so worth the effort. Look at all the feedback, encouragement and support you've been given- we all believe you can do it, but even if you don't- do it anyway. One day you WILL believe it. As far as working out is concerned- so many people have said it- when I see someone who is…

i was that way yesterday for no real reason. I just made sure to do some more exercise so I could eat more. I'm with modernfemme on this though- sometimes it does help to eat. It is just when it is an every day thing that it becomes an issue.

This is sort of a gross admission, but I found the shakes made me... um, constipated. So I completely avoid any of them. If you're going for low, easy calories, have some soup or a sandwich. Plan on small snacks between meals to help keep that metabolism up.

You look incredible! Keep it up!

I'm snowed in and craving these things like crazy!

OMM! You put it perfectly! Most of my post high school years people have told me I look younger than I am, and I've always joked that my fat is just natural collagen. I've seriously wondered how much I will age when I get smaller. I have a friend on here who is in her early 40s and she looks FABULOUS, so I'm hoping I will…

Duh! =)

I am obese, and need to lose half my body weight. And when I get there, I imagine things aren't going to look as good as they did before I gained all this weight. But I'm not losing for anyone but me. So your brother's "friend" is thinking it is all about looking good, and of course, sex. Increased libido is a pleasant…

From my starting weight to my ultimate goal weight, I need to lose one large person or two medium children. Half my body weight. Ugh.

We have a women only facility that is a circuit, so it constantly changes up. There is also a place for the kids to play if you have to bring them. The pros are that there is never a wait for equipment, since you rotate every 30 seconds, it keeps your heart rate up, and no men to stare when you're on the "birthing…

If you have rosemary, that's the perfect herb for flavoring chicken.

My first week on MFP I lost 7lbs and for some reason I decided to go and look at my goals. I hadn't added exercise initially, but I did at that point, also updating my weight change, and it took away 40 calories. I find that odd, but I'm sticking with it nevertheless. I've read about the calorie-deficit thing, but I didn't…

Simply incredible! Thank you so much for sharing the job description and pictures. Sounds like an adventure that would be fun for a while, but would get to be old after a while. But then, that's just my own personality. I bet there are others who love it day in and day out year round. :drinker: (he's drinking hot chocolate…

I prefer the outdoors myself. Added benefit of Vitamin D! =)
