We missed you Dante! It’s good to hear you got through the holidays with minimal damage and we’re able to quickly recover. I too finally was able to lose my three pounds of Christmas cookies.
When will we see some more glorious food photos?1 -

Yay, Yooly three pounds is great!!
I can post my Gigantes from today, but it's mostly the same as the last time I shared them. Oh well, here goes!

Soooooo beautiful! And yet simple. Thank you.2

Looks delicious, Dante!
Congratulations to you both!2 -
I can't remember, Dante, if you posted a recipe for this dish? I'm curious about the sauce....(I have some giant lupini beans to dress up!)

I did end up doing a little look about - but those Dante beans looks like they are dressing a bit differently?0

Hmm. Fairly sure it looks like it has a similar base to most vegetables done in a "Ladera" manner (same as the green beans stew". His have carrots in addition by the looks of it, sweet (like me 🤣) to balance the tomato acids!😲 Plus cracked black pepper
But I'm sure he will share his recipe!
If you decide to major in the minors: protein is the most expensive to digest, followed by carbs followed by oil (TEF). Fiber of course only provides less than 2 Cal per gram usually.
i totally see myself eating something like what he made but I would probably put it over cauliflower rice perhaps mixed in with some rice as an example if I were trying to both fluff up AND cut down on Calories.
In the meanwhile I'm a sad puppy and I'm operating on a couple of larabars!!1 -

It's a pretty basic gigantes recipe, I do a variation of this one (using green bell pepper instead of celery).

Thank-you, Dante.
You we're right on PAV. If I make these they will be a side...teamed up with ??? cauliflower... Maybe roasted cauliflower which I've been enjoying this week since cauliflower was on sale. And I might add more carrots and green beans to the bean dish...🙂

Not quite a full week yet - but this is my first week back on a pretty solid calorie deficit (as part of my new "diet/binge" lifetime plan). Today is my first day of the scale bouncing up. I've been waiting for it. Though losing 2 pounds a day was nice I kinda figured it wasn't going to last. Onward and downward. My knee is still swollen - that should be good for at least 5 pounds in the next few weeks 2

Oh I love the "honeymoon" period. It sucks that I got to this point - but I'll try to revel in this initial drop. Down almost 7 pounds this week...I know...I know...but it is so very much better than a silent unsubstantiated awareness that the pounds are piling on.2

At the end of January my friend in BC said that she wanted to lose 5-7 pounds by her birthday, February 10, today! I grabbed onto her words - threw down a challenge - and we started on February 1st.
This challenge pushed through my misery of being this weight and woohoo! Here it is 10 days later and I've lost 8 pounds. Of course that freakin' scale has bounced all over the past 10 days but this morning the scale gods smiled at me. I'm kind of feelin' in the groove again - and excited when I think of where I might be come the end of this month, the end of March, beginning of summer! First time in awhile I have felt this excitement. I've been so stuck on self recrimination I couldn't seize any ??? hope/inspiration/belief/determination???3 -
I hate “bouncing” scales! I think I have conquered the holiday weight finally. It’s been a fight. But the scale is consistently showing it’s gone. So onward.
Sadly that last twenty pounds does not give up so easily. I am determined to lose it or at least a goodly chunk of it before going to Hawaii in September.
Should be doable but I’m at the stage where moving weight is slow. And I don’t want to do drastic changes to what has been a fairly successful weight maintenance. I fear if I restrict too hard now I might lose control and regain.2 -
You are a wise woman, Yooly. Is there any "common" food/drink that you think you can eliminate that might add up over time? And not be too terribly missed?0
