    What was for dinner last night? I made some turkey burgers with onion and mushrooms saute and a salad. It was tasty.
    I went shopping and spent $140 on three bags of groceries, though, ouch.
    I made a crustless quiche to have for breakfast everyday, have leftover turkey burgers for lunch. Haven't gotten hungry yet though.

    I weigh on Fridays normally so that's when I'll submit it to you. However, this week I'm going out of town Thursday night so I'll submit my weight on Thursday. Don't worry, I'm still in this! =)

    Yummm!! I love Frittatas for breakfast. I could eat them 7 days a week! I made ours with ham, bacon, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, red onion, green, yellow, and red peppers, and broccoli. It was really pretty, lol, tasty and filling! For dinner, I made steak stirfry. Mine was actually just steak strips and steamed veggies-mushrooms, broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots, baby corn, water chestnuts, red & green peppers (omitted the soy sauce and rice for me). We were in need of a quick meal, did yard work all afternoon and still needed to get to the gym.

    We had breakfast for dinner last night. We're short on groceries, and you can never go wrong with a lil bacon and eggs :) but I've gotta get to the grocery store today or tomorrow def. we are out of all fresh veggies and fruit. wow, what did put in those three bags of groceries for that much!!!! I've always thought that eating healthy cost more than unhealthy stuff, but since eating more primal like it's def the opposite. yes, meat can get expensive, but when your not buying boxes and packages of junk, the money is going to something that counts. when your just shopping for meat and veggies, your money goes alot furthur. ofcourse i'm not the chef you are!!! i wouldn't have a clue how to make quiche! sounds yummy though

    The quiche is not hard and I found the recipe online, I cooked half an onion and mushrooms in a pan with some olive oil and chicken broth, greased a pie plate, blended four eggs together with a cup of milk, added uncured ham to the mushroom and onion, put it in the bottom of the pan and poured the egg mixture on top, baked at 375 for 30 minutes.
    Do most people eat dairy here? I was avoiding cheese but used the milk, and will do some greek yogurt.

    um, can we can a recipe please?? that's breakfast frittata sounds awesome!

    Frittata-
    4 oz. chopped bacon (approx. 3 slices)
    4 oz. diced ham
    1/4 c. chopped red onion
    1/4 c. broccoli
    1/4 c. mushrooms
    1/4 c. pepper- green, red, yellow
    1 Tbsp. Butter or Coconut oil
    1/4 c. Italian blend or cheddar-shredded cheese
    6 large whole eggs
    1/2 tsp. black pepper

    Sautee first 6 ingredients for 10 minutes, in 1 tbsp of butter or coconut oil. Mix eggs, cheese, and pepper in seperate bowl. Add egg mix to skillet and bake for 10 minutes at 425. After removing from oven, turn over onto serving plate, cut into 8 slices. Serving- 1/4 of the pie (2 slices)

    Nutritional info-per serving
    Calories-217
    Protein-17
    Fat-13
    Carbs-5

    I usually cut double ingrediants and make 2 at a time. If the skillet can't go in the oven, you can pour everything into a casserole dish and bake.

    WOW, guys! Great job on those losses! I'm not weighing in now, but hopefully when I do I'll see a loss too :)
    And for those who didn't lose this week, don't stress- the road to weightloss isn't paved over, you always hit a few potholes :):)

    that does sound easy, only i'd have to do without the mushroom, i can't stand mushrooms, but maybe use bell peppers instead?? hmmm....sounds like an experiment waiting to happen! thanks

    I'll keep fixing it, but y'all try to use the last updated weigh in list, and get it posted pretty quickly so we don't keep losing people :)

    Susan, I feel ya on the wine thing, I'm worried about next week's weigh in b/c I know some drinks are in order for this weekend. it's darron and i's anniversary :) but at least you didn't gain!

    and great job on maintaining Aurelina! even for the folks not really trying to lose its good to weigh in to keep track, to make sure you aren't gaining. i know a few years ago when i lost all my extra weight, i just stopped caring, stopped stepping on the scale, and i gained it all back and then some within 3 months!!! I'm sure if i had gotten on the scale and thought omg i'm gaining it back i might have done something to stop it, but nope, by the time i realized it, it was all back. :( i mean i knew i was putting a few back on, but was thinking it was like 10, not 40!

    thanks! added to my list, never thought about having avocado's with my eggs. should be interesting. this time last year, you couldn't have paid me to eat veggies or try new things. i love how open minded i've become about vegetables!

    Thanks for doing such a great ADMIN job Kim! I saw that mix up and was about to try and fix it and you zoomed in so fast!! Really nice.

    Thank you for the support and encouragement. Feels good. I agree about watching ourselves. I am happy that I didn't float up because breaking under 170 just happened on Saturday when I joined your great little group and just like others here on MFP have reported I will get a big drop and then float up and down and around for awhile before the nice drop will settle in. I was pleased to see I floated in at my recent all time lowest (for a few years now) this morning.

    Welcome Meghan, your just in time for our first weigh in. if you know what you were last tuesday, i wouldn't mind putting that as your starting weight. and you could just weigh in today with the rest of us? just let me know :)

    It looks like I was at 148.6 last Tuesday and this morning I am at 147.8 - so almost one pound gone.

    I ran a half marathon on Saturday and will run another one this Saturday, which means my numbers are going to be a bit messed up for about a week. I need to eat a "normal" amount of carbs the day before any run of about 8+ miles, plus I drink Gaterade during the run which causes me to retain water (and get even more carbs). I'm not planning to see any real loss for awhile. It's kind of funny how burning that many calories in one day can cause weight gain, even if it's just temporary!

    Last night for dinner we had chicken thighs and veggies. Super fast to get together and crazy easy. Rub the thighs in some olive oil and cover in seasonings (I used italian seasoning, paprika and garlic salt. The chicken had no salt added, yay) and then put them in a big pan with some chicken broth. Through some veggies in the open spaces, I did broccoli and onions. I took the broccoli out when it was done but next time will throw them in toward the end to cook instead so they won't sit and get cold :D Hindsight is 20/20! Cook with the lid on, I did it over medium. I don't know how long it took, I would just check it occasionally and flipped them once. After I took the food out I scraped the bottom of the pan and stirred it all up, the sauce thickened up a bit pretty quick and I poured it over everything in the serving dish. My husband and two year old loved it, and because I made a lot there was some leftover for my husband's lunch today :)
