Just make the dinner and let them look after their own plates.[/quote] Well I have a toddler who can’t fix her plate and if my son or husband fixed their own then there wouldn’t be any vegetables! This is how I make them eat ;) plus I don’t mind fixing them.

Cinnamon oatmeal protein pancakes with apples and maple syrup Turkey patty with steamed broccoli and roasted sweet potatoes I always forget to take a picture of my dinners. I guess too busy making my family’s plates and am ready to eat.

After dinner this evening, even though it was starting to get dark, the family and I walked up and down the street one time. By the time we did it once, it was too dark and dangerous for us to do it again. It’s almost half a mile when we do that. Well instead of saying oh well it’s too dark to walk, I circled the outer…

I get HORRIBLE cravings for pretty much everything bad the week leading up to my period. If it’s pizza I want, I limit myself to one hot pocket. I can usually get that to fit in my calories and I get that taste I crave. Even if it’s a hot pocket two days in a row. I keep a bag of semi sweet chocolate morsels in the pantry…

I had the same problem and his was my solution. My husband will eat cheeseburgers and cookies and lose weight. My son is a little more adventurous with veggies than my daughter so I’m lucky there. I usually cook two veggies at every meal. I know which ones each person likes so I make sure everyone at least has one veggie…

I know the struggle of diabetes (Grannie died from it, mom has it & I had gestational diabetes when pregnant with my now 2 year old). This is a major accomplishment!!! Kudos for taking control of your health instead of letting the medication do it for you!! I bet that is a great feeling.

I’m just beginning “again”. So cheers to us for getting started. That’s always the hardest part in my opinion.

You look so proud in the after photos. Great job!!!

I am longing for this!!!!!!!!! My stomach has stuck out past my boobs since I had my son who is turning 11 in dec.

Thanks! I used Kraft Creamy French. I’m a bit obsessed with it. It has a bold flavor so the serving of two tablespoons are more than enough for me. My Grannie always had this dressing. Reminds me of her. [/quote] Thanks! I will look for it. :smile: [/quote] You’re welcome

[/quote] @aganey - what dressing did you use? Looks good![/quote] Thanks! I used Kraft Creamy French. I’m a bit obsessed with it. It has a bold flavor so the serving of two tablespoons are more than enough for me. My Grannie always had this dressing. Reminds me of her.

I have two!! May be small to some but big for me because I haven’t been motivated for quite some time. Today was the first day in a very long time that I completed my diary under my calorie limit. I’ve been off the wagon for awhile now and this is a major step for me right now. Also, I joined a gym today! I’ve belonged to…

Grilled chicken salad 281 cals

Egg muffins with tomatoes, mushrooms and bell peppers, a cutie and my (I can’t live without it) cup of coffee with Italian sweet cream creamer. 327 calories total!

Awesome job by the way!!!! Much respect!!

This gives me so much hope!!! I need to lose 60 pounds and I would love for it to be in 8 months. Do you mind me asking what exercises did you do and how often. Also what your calorie count was? I'm eating around 1420 cals and am starting this coming week exercising 3-4 times a week (getting gym membership Monday) I…

I want to lose at least 10 pounds by November 10th. It's my husband and mines 10 year wedding anniversary. Also my birthday is November 14th. I just started back today after not caring the past several months. I'm a long way from my goal but I feel like this should be the first milestone since starting back.

This is probably the ONLY reason someone would actually want to go to the DMV!!! Stellar job, the transformation is amazing!

Ignore people like her. She is just trying to steal your thunder because she isn't getting the attention. Weight loss doesn't happen overnight and everyone knows this!! So her comment only made her look like a tool. The important thing is that you are closer to your goal and it's obviously showing if her husband noticed…

http://pinchofyum.com/cinnamon-whole-grain-power-pancakes I haven't tried these yet. Going to the store today to get the ingredients. These you can freeze and just pop in the toaster. I'm going to switch out the cottage cheese for Greek yogurt just because I don't care for cottage cheese. I will add a little more oats…

My jaw hit the floor! Amazing job! Sometimes fixing the inside first carries to the outside.

I just had a breakdown last night because of your same exact issues. I eat and eat and eat. I choose everything bad for me. I eat even when I'm not hungry. Everything is going great in my life so it's not about bad things happening in my case. I'm happily married with two great kids. I just quit working in march to be a…

Your after pic is my goal!!! If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you and how much do you weigh?

I say if you're still feeling hungry then eat back the calories, it doesn't have to be all of them. If you're not hungry then don't eat them back. Just listen to your body.

[/quote] Stop believing that little voice in your head that says you can't do it. Time to start playing a new tape. You can pick what it says.[/quote] You're absolutely right. I'm not believing in myself. I've lost the weight once, I know what to do to do it again. I just need to do it. Thanks!!

I'm having the same issue. Once I get in the groove of working out I'm ok for a bit then I slack off again. My diet is so far off the wagon that I'm going to be going through withdrawals like an addict with my cravings when I decide to get back on track. I just need to get over that initial 2-3 week hump but can't seem to…

My starting weight and goal weight are the same as yours but I'm 5'7". I weigh 192 and want to get to 145ish (I'll know when I get closer if I need to adjust). I can't seem to get motivated and this is inspiring. Great job!!

Day 1 & 2 squats and crunches DONE!!!

Wow and you're already at 177!?!?! That's so amazing! I would love to see that number in 3 months! Good work!

I'm in for both!! I need to do something if I want to be around for my family for a long time. Time to start!
