10-YEAR Anniversary using MFP
Ten years ago today I installed an app that changed my life. I've continued to log in every single day since. I had carried lots of extra weight for over twelve years and yet that first year on mfp was dramatic and incredible—and honestly not that difficult (certainly not as hard as I expected)! Over eighty pounds lost…

2000 days in a row (and counting)
I started myfitnesspal on March 1st, 2011. Today I celebrate my 2000th day. I had been very overweight for more than 12 years and nothing I tried fixed that until I discovered tracking/logging calories.

"MEAT LOVERS" PITA PIZZA
Lately I've been trying to front-load my day with a large early meal (call it breakfast, call it lunch…depends on when I wake up). Today's meal wasn't "healthy," but it was awesome and will keep the hunger away for quite a while. I'm eating 2200 calories a day (at my height/weight, that's a deficit enough to lose about 1/2…

Bell Pepper Egg-in-a-Hole
I just made this for dinner — very good and not high calorie, especially if you skip the english muffin (which I did not and don't regret it one bit). http://www.shutterbean.com/bell-pepper-egginahole (recipe EVERYDAY Food Magazine) 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 bell pepper (any color) cut into four 1/2 inch thick rings 4 large…
