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

Akis is well known here for his quick yet delicious variations on classic recipes. The guy came to fame after winning a cooking reality show here (master chef) as a teen.
His site is also very well organized and has an extensive English section. Check it out! 2 -
I watched video's on his youtube channel for a bit last night. GREAT vegetarian dishes - and even greater than his obvious good looks and charm which are certainly easy to watch, his enthusiasm and freedom in the kitchen was contagious. I just love how he uses his hands to strain the beans (which I do myself)....a little thing, but makes you feel somehow more connected.
I've been thinking of making an herb area in my kitchen - inspired by a rosemary plant I brought in for the winter that is such a pleasure - now even more inspired by Akis's herb arrangement.
Now that The Boy has moved and life is in transition I really wanted to "redo" my pantry system. I've been using up things that I don't plan on replacing. I have a spot on my wall with lots of empty storage jars. Thinking that could accomodate plants and I could install a grow light which would make my kitchen feel sunny all the time 3 -
watching cooking videos... hmmm.... 1

Akis Petrizikis! Not only can he cook but he’s eye candy. Sometimes it’s not all about the recipes.....1

Only for inspiration, PAV. I expect those giant beans will be on my menu soon

Subway, veggie sub, no sauces, footlong. NCCDB database 534Cal. My new estimate remains the same (I came up with -20 Cal). white bread was 137 and 138g Yellow Cheddar was 22g. 175 to 180g of random veggies with most caloric being onions at 40Cal per 100g1

Has anyone had any trouble with MFP not communicating weight updates with Fitbit? My steps appear to be coming into MFP but weight isn't going to Fitbit so it isn't going from Fitbit to Trendweight.0
-
Got nothing for you because I always used to enter weight on FITBIT, which would then forward it to MFP and Trendweight!0
-
maybe I'll try that!
