I love bananas! They are one fruit that I do watch how much I eat, though, just because they pack a higher calorie and sugar punch. But, hey, they have lots of good stuff and they taste good with almost everything! :)

I can only imagine how incredibly frustrated you are. I would be. But, I think everyone needs more info before suggesting help. Obviously you're at least reasonably to very active. Hard to say because what one person thinks is "working out hard" isn't so much to another. Barring any possible medical issues, here are my…

Look at you, being all smart and beautiful at the same time. :happy: Congratulations!!

Glad to see you're back. You've made the hardest step… recognizing you need to get back on the wagon, so to speak. You did it before, you can do it again. This time, you will be stronger and better prepared to deal with what life throws at you… because life is ALWAYS throwing something at us… big and little. I am a…

avocado is great and yummy, but very high in calories, so be careful with quantity there. I use light ranch dressing… saves a little on calories and quite a bit on fat, but still has flavor and is really good with tuna. I've used plain yogurt and light sour cream as substitutes for mayo when making dips… it's worked well.…

It's amazing, isn't it? I have people tell me they think I've lost way more than the 35-ish lbs I have lost. You look FABULOUS!

Well, if the clothes companies keep vanity-sizing, we'll all be a size 2 soon! :laugh: I find it ridiculous that at 5' 6" and 140-ish lbs I can wear a size 6 in many brands. The last time I wore a "real" size 6, I was in my late 20s and 120 lbs (and actually very healthy, fit, and active). Good grief. So… really, the way…

Not a vegetarian, but I've played with "meatless" foods. I haven't found a Boco-anything I liked. But I LOVE Morningstar's Spicy Black Bean burgers. OMG so yummy, especially with some pico de gallo on top!! I have some in my freezer right now! Mmmmm. Oh, yes, and portobello burgers/sandwiches are yummy, too.

Huh. When I'm hungover (which is nearly never anymore), I usually stay away from food! :) But, seems like whatever reason you're craving fats and salt, perhaps? So, might try healthier versions of those things. Also, you are most likely dehydrated, so try to drink plenty of water. If you think about it, try to drink one or…

That bikini is sooooo cute on you! You look fantastic!! Kudos!

You are looking awesome!!

Look at you! You don't need no stinkin' surgery! :D But, what is fantastic is that you believing that's what you wanted and using that as a goal to lose weight… YOU JUST PROVED TO YOURSELF THAT ALL YOU NEEDED TO LOSE WEIGHT WAS A GOOD REASON! Now that surgery is out, find yourself another just as important reason. I mean I…

I say kudos to you unknown-siste for CARING about your daughter enough to give her boundaries and teach her appropriateness. My parents were strict, however I still managed to get away with "enough" to have a "fun" childhood, and I maintained respect for my parents the entire time. I NEVER talked back, yelled or slammed…

My funny NSV is when my co-worker (best dressed lady and one of the niceest in the office, definitely) shyly told me that I REALLY needed to buy smaller pants because mine were too baggy in the back. :happy:

I left the "generic" pic up for a bit, then put a pic of my dogs up for quite a while. Mostly it was because I wasn't comfortable putting pics of myself up on the site, but my dogs did "represent" something about myself. I love my pups. :) But, the first pics I did upload of myself to my profile were me when I joined MFP -…

Pretty sure I saw it. Or, at least I saw one that was as described… naked down to "there". Gotta admit, I was a little shocked - and then I was awed. It was smokin' HAWT. :smokin: It was on a thread from misscourtney … something about guys showing their chests off… there were a few that were showing a bit more than chest,…

Awesome-ness!

Other reasons for "light-headedness"... allergies (yep, found that out recently) and low blood pressure. If it continues, see your doctor. They might want to test your blood sugar. Have you made any other significant changes in your diet other than eating less? For example, are you drinking "energy drinks" or taking in…

I live in Indianapolis, but I've been there a few times for work. I'm an "offsite external associate" for what we must call "a large insurance company in Central Illinois". Can you guess which one? :wink: On a side note, many, many years ago my father was a supervisor for "Standard Paving Company" (now defunct). He worked…

Breakfast…. no, wait, lunch I think cuz I usually eat lunch late and I'm really and it's so satisfying. But, then dinner with hubby is so nice. Eh, breakfast, definitely breakfast… but can you eat steak at breakfast? Maybe not, then it's dinner… oh, maybe lunch… :bigsmile:

I'm pretty much on board with what everyone else is saying. You've obviously been doing great so far, but you've reached a point where you're likely needing to make additional changes to continue to lose. Small or short-term goals are the absolute best in my book. Kept me motivated as I kept reaching my goals. Recognize…

You did fabulous! I can really see the results. Everything is "firmer" and obviously you've lost fat. Great Job!

Just like kicking bad habits takes time, forming good habits can take time, too. You need to find what it is that will make you keep doing it. For example, I love following DVDs because it's less "effort" on my part! I also love mixing up routines. I can't stick with a single DVD for long, so I love P90X, for example. Some…

PHENOMENAL!!!

It's funny… I was counting on my doctor to tell me to lose weight to help motivate me! That and my CBC results indicating that my counts were heading in the wrong direction gave me "the facts" that I needed to no longer tell myself I'd "start tomorrow". I found MFP and haven't regretted a moment! I think the biggest help…
