I lost 20 pounds in in January 2011 and kept it off. I fell off the wagon a couple times... lol! I rather dip my food rather then smoother it in sauce or portion out sauce on my food. Portion control is my key. I eat my big meal at lunch time.
Not only am I trying to lose weight but overall change the way I eat. I do portion control and cut most fried foods out. I love my french fries so i will just portion them. When I make homemade sweet and sour chicken I either grill the chicken breast or pan fry it. No deep frying with batter...

I made my first yogurt cake. It is soo moist. I never used a bunt cake pan before it came out PERFECT! I used flavored yogurt instead of fresh fruit because I didnt have any fresh fruit. I cant wait to make it with fresh fruit.
