Hello Everyone!

My Name Is Moses (Mo for short). I am 24 Years of Age. Born and Bred New Yorker. I have always been "the fat kid", almost all my life. It didn't get out of control until my sophomore year in College. I gained 150 pounds. Now, I am 426. I have made the decision to take back my life, and pursue The Lap Band. I am not nervous, or anxious. I just realized that I need a serious life change. The same went for my dieting, and eating habits. Junk Food, processed foods, and all sorts of crazy **** have caused me to weigh this much. So, I have decided to utilize the secret weapon. Food!

I will try my best to post as often as I can, but I do have a busy life. I attend Pre Med, attend school for my MPH, work, and I help out at my local masjid( Yes I am Muslim). I can commit one post a week. If you guys and gals have any concerns, or questions- or even wanna contribute: Add me as a friend, and contact me! I don't bite people, only Good food!!!!!!!

Recipe 1- The best damn chicken noodle soup....EVER..

Soup is a important staple in my diet. I usually make a dozen servings, take one bowl to work, and place the rest in the freezer, so I can eat another time. Its easy to make, and incredibly delicious.

2 decent sized boneless free range chicken breasts- diced----- Mary's Chicken (http://www.maryschickens.com/)

1 small bag of Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Wide Egg Noodles

1 box of 36 oz chicken broth.------------ (http://www.pacificfo...s-chicken-broth)

3 additional cups of water

2 small onions, diced

2 sticks of celery, chopped

1 yellow bell pepper

1 carrot, peeled, chopped

1 small bunch of cilantro, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

Salt

Pepper

Directions

1. Boil some water, and placed diced chicken into the boiling water.

2. Let the chicken boil the remaining fat off, and for the chicken to cook...Should take about 7-10 minutes, with the oven on full blast.

3. drain the water- scrape the remaining fat out of the pot.

dump the veggies, broth, and 3 cups of water.

Optional. Now some of you would like to have some thickness into the soup. Its fine. As you are stirring the pot, sprinkle 2tbsp of Cornstarch. Understand that Cornstarch has a ton of carbs..( COME ON!! ITS STARCH!)
