Apparently, I have not updated since March. Fear not, thugs, for I live! Rejoice and prosper, and also cease sending me LJ nudges. /:) I get performance anxiety when I am guilty, you see

I did really well for the first . . . two days, then the daily calorie count began creeping back up :)) I haven't gone above like 1500 or so though! *progress!*
Get a carton of Egg Beaters and scramble some in a non-stick pan. Add a dollop of no-fat mayonnaise and stir into the eggs so it's like a warm egg salad. Spread on two open faced slices of toasted Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Bread. Very satisfying snack. Total calories 130. I just lost 40 pounds.
I don't really enjoy eggs when they're scrambled! I can do sunny-side up, but the scrambled ones just make me gag. :"> I've been trying these South Beach diet meal things lately, though: their lunch wraps come in a little kit (with sugar-free jello for dessert) so you put them together yourself, then microwave the wraps if you want. They're actually really good, and the most "expensive" one, calorie-wise, is only 250 calories (with 24 grams of protein!).
Congrats on your loss! :> :> Do you mind me asking how long it took, or if exercise was involved? I'm in need of vicarious encouragement by hearing the details of success stories. :">
Took me about five months. I was happy being bigger but my cholesterol and blood pressure were sky high so that was pretty motivating. I got my cholesterol from 253 to 131 and my blood pressure from 177/110 to 122/85. My biggest advice is SOUP SOUP SOUP. I ate it all the time and I would bulk it up with vegetables so it would be more filling. I also had lots of open faced sandwiches made with tuna or curried chicken and no fat mayo

The best weight loss plan I ever stuck to was getting my tonsils removed in eighth grade. I didn't eat anything but liquid codeine mixed with liquid jello for two weeks, and I lost twenty pounds. I wish I had more tonsils to get rid of, alas.
I don't remember my numbers, but I know my cholesterol was obscene at one point and probably still is. :)) My OBGYN diagnosed me with PCOS and put me on a medicine (typically meant only for diabetics, she said) called Metformin. If you read the literature about the drug, you'll see the lengthy list of side effects . . . all of which I had, pretty much. I did manage to lose thirty pounds without meaning to, since the drug is basically an appetite suppressant (which I wasn't told) along with allegedly lowering cholesterol (which it did the opposite of, iirc, though my OBGYN was pleased regardless). Needless to say, I stopped taking it and put the weight back on, and then some. Vicious cycle. >:/ When I was in high school my mother and I did Weight Watchers, and I lost a little bit of weight
