Made it to ONEderland!
 

Well, I was afraid I might never get here again, but here I am below 200 pounds! I'm sixty two pounds lighter than when I began on January 7! While I am super proud of myself, I'm not posting this feat for the accolades from you guys. I want everyone to know that this program really works. I haven't been perfect at this diet, but I've been darn good, and darn good is a WHOLE lot better than where I was before I started this wonderful program! Anyway, I hope everyone out there is having success and feeling great! I definitely have my struggles, doubts, etc. but this small victory has reinvigorated me to finish this race...this marathon! Here's to small plates and big losses!

Congratulations! I have been in onederland for exactly 12 days now and it's AWESOME!! Enjoy!!

Congratulations!!! :)

Wow!!! You guys are such an inspiration to me!!! I hope in several months I can post the same thing!!!

Congratulations! You are an inspiration. I am preconditioning and am so nervous... so scared that I will cheat. I come here looking for an inspiration and you guys help so much:)

Congrats! That is ONEderful ;)

That's so wonderful... Congrats......

Awesome, ENJOY! What a victory. Hope to see you there sometime this summer!

Congratulations!

Congrats!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is amazing,considering we started at basically the same place but I started in June-- I"m down 17. I know you must be thrilled!!!

So what is your "go-to" dinner recipe? My hardest thing-- I am sick of all proteins. I need to try something new--

Yay! Way to go!

Welcome to the boards! I am with you about getting tired of the same ol' protein! I've posted some of my favorite recipes from the cookbook below that are not giant pieces of meat on a plate.

I'm a big fan of the vegetable pizza on pg. 98 of the cookbook. It uses spaghetti squash or zucchini for the "crust" and is really, really tasty!

I also like the Heuvos Rancheros on pg. 111 with fire salsa. It really gives the tastebuds a kick!

The bruschetta on pg. 237 is excellent!

I really like the white bean chicken chili on pg. 255 as well.

Hope that helps you!
