I've reached my goal! (but still have work to do)
I'm so excited that I have finally reached my weight loss goal, even though I know that I still have some work to do in the "tightening & toning" department. I wish that I had thought to take "Before" and "After" pictures - but I didn't - so I went back through old photos and found some that are a pretty accurate…

Breakfast dropped an atom bomb on my calorie budget
So the hubby and I took his parents to breakfast this morning at Village Inn. I was looking at the Under 550 calorie options and they had a Greek Crepe. I asked the waitress what the difference was between the Under 550 Greek crepes and the regular Greek crepes. She said the only difference was they left out the meat in…

The stubborn last 5 pounds....
I've often heard that the last 5 to 10 pounds are the most difficult to lose. I want to know why?? Is it physiological or psychological? I have been hovering around 130 pounds for several weeks now. I did fluctuate up and down a couple of pounds with the holidays. I have 8 weeks until my beach vacation and would really…

Does anyone use the Big Boss Oil Less Fryer?
My Mom received one for Christmas and seems to like it. Has anyone else used it? What is your review? I just watched a You Tube video and think I want one now.

I had cut down to three or four a day, but I keep hearing how drinking diet soda actually hinders weight loss. I had been hovering around the same weight for several weeks, so I thought why not try to…

250 calorie lunch and I'm STUFFED!
I just made a delicious stir fry with zero calorie Miracle Rice, some chopped fresh veggies, shrimp, hoisin sauce and a splash of chicken broth. It was so yummy, and was a nice switch up from my usual sandwich for lunch. I wish I had thought to take a picture, it was a thing of beauty!!

I just upped my calories to 1600 from 1200
I've been on MFP for about 6 months, and have lost 18 pounds. The last time I recalculated my BMR, MFP said I should only be eating 1200 calories a day. I felt like I was hungry ALL day. So after doing a little research about TDEE and finding this group, I've decided with some trepidation to up my daily allowance to 1600.…

NSV: My closet is empty
I cleaned out my closet yesterday and gave away three bags full of clothes that are too big for me. Sizes 16, 14, 12 and 10 are all gone!! Now I need to go shopping!! I just don't want to spend a bunch of money on clothes that (hopefully) will be too big again in three more months.
