Chris, I will sometimes take a bag of broccoli/cauliflower, zap it in a corningware dish in the microwave, then drain it and put a couple of ounces of velveeta light on it, as well as cutting up some deli ham or turkey. Mix it all up with seasonings of choice, and within a total of 5 minutes you have a meat and veggie casserole in one dish. Fresh, hot, healthy, and fast!

Jason, I used to eat Fiber One but changed over to Kashi's "Go Lean". It also has very high fiber, but also has very high protein, so you stay full longer. In weight watcher terms, the Kashi is 1 point more than the Fiber One. Give it a try!

I only have 5 pounds I need to lose, but I've been trying very hard to lose them since the beginning of the year. Believe it or not! So, I'm in. I don't know how to video, so my posts will just be text. (sorry)

Just flip'd my first weigh in video. I lost an additional 10 pounds from the last time I weighed myself around 3 weeks ago. I use the Livestrong.com website religiously & credit my food log to my success so far. Anyway, good luck to everyone & hopefully I can lose at least 3 lbs by next weeks weigh in.......by for now.

Here is the link to my weigh in vid: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Yes! I experienced that same feeling a few weeks back when I went to the outlet stores to get some new clothes. I too am in a 36 for the first time since College, and it feels WONDERFUL. By the way, if you can find a Men's Experss near you, try on their "loose" pants. I wear a 34 in those. A 34!!!!

I posted a quick video response on Friday. It's from my phone since I was at the office. Next week will be a little better. Thanks for doing this Adam! http://fallonbrooks.blogspo...

I like to cook a whole package of chicken breast on the grill on Sunday afternoon, then freeze them. They warm nicely in the microwave in the evenings. Since I work a lot of hours at the office, this makes a quick trip home for dinner a possibility instead of the same old fast food.

Kraftfoods.com has some easy, tasty recipes at (and under) that calorie range. For example, these Bruschetta 'n Cheese-Stuffed Chicken Breasts are pretty easy to make (buy dried basil and save the effort of chopping fresh basil) and they're only 280 calories a serving: http://www.kraftfoods.com/k...

One nice reward for me was buying new pants last week. I'm wearing a 36 waist for the first time since Freshman year of college, AND I bought "straight leg" instead of the usual "loose fit". Awwwwww yeah.

Sounds like we're at about the same current weight and weight goal (although you're probably taller than me and therefore less overweight).

One big change I've made has been in breakfast. I always start out with a bowl of high fiber cereal (the "Fiber One" with 56% of my daily fiber works well and is only 100 calories for a bowl WITH MILK), as this is good for me and takes the edge off of my morning hunger. I follow that up with a second breakfast about 3 hours later (usually a whole wheat English muffin with reduced sugar Raspberry preserves on it). This leaves me well over a thousand calories for lunch, dinner and snacks to stay on my safe 2-lbs-a-week goal. Lean Cuisine for lunch and dinner isn't easy on the wallet, but then I know exactly how many calories I'm eating and it's something tasty to look forward to.

That's awesome! Yeah, I have recently fallen off of the wagon, so this will hopefully kick me in the pants where I need it. If you blog, or even Tweet about it, add the link every week so we can keep up. Good luck, man.

50 pounds in 3 months is awesome. I look forward to seeing the video, make sure you add a link to it in the little link thing at the bottom of the post!

While I'm too lazy for videos and the like, I wanted to thank you for posting your weight-loss progress since you started last year. We both started weight-loss efforts around the same time, but didn't stick with it. But seeing you keep going got me back on the wagon. Using The Daily Plate (http://www.livestrong.com/t... I've lost an additional 20 pounds over the past 3 months. My goal is to get my BMI under 30 (moving me from OBESE to plain old OVERWEIGHT). 32 pounds to go!

well, you don't HAVE to do a video, but seriously, the accountability is a big part of it all, and you'll have that here...

Great Video Adam! Still thinking about this! I want too but you have no idea how ditzy I am. It would require a lot for me to figure out this whole video thing out... :) And the idea of posting my weight to the whole world :) I am proud of you though. Great job keeping most of the weight off! I will at least be one of your biggest cheerleaders :)
