Hey Nate:
We have a few things in common..I live in Columbia too...Northeast near farrow road and I-77...I also have a goal of 175...I had my surgery in late March and am now down to 228 so I still have another 53 to go...I know what you mean about bad advice in some places...I pretty much stick to this board and the men's forum here on OH, a lot of great advice from some VERY knowledgeable guys there...I haven't gone vegetarian but am definatly eating less meat then before. I love the veggie protein sausage links from Morningstar Farms, and my little three year old daughter does too. I have to make extras or she'll beg for mine and I wind up with nothing. Do you know any good vegetarian places in Columbia, I have been to the Rosewood Market and liked what I found there but their prices were a little bit high - understandable though - it's hard to keep your prices down when you don't have the purchasing power of a big chain and your ingredients are all or mostly all organic. Welcome to the 20 Spot and congratulations on your progress so far...
Hey, I have been a member for a while but just recently started posting. They only think I have to say about advice is to take the good and run with it, and ignore the bad. So things are just common scence, but if you are not sure of something as a specialist. Good luck and congrats on you weight loss
