@ShannonOMAD I agree, I love cauliflower, its pretty expensive here, so Ive been buying the frozen stuff, but if preped properly, it works with most recipes.
I agree! I actually prefer frozen cauliflower when putting it in Indian sauces and things like that, over rice. They have that nice soft texture!0 -

I've always wanted to trying doing something with it cause we make a lot of chickpeas. But I'm too scared to.0

Forgot to take a picture of my delicious dinner. If you're a chicken nugget fan, I HIGHLY recommend Gardein Mandarin Chick'n. Just leave off the sauce and they are incredible, junky food tasting nuggets for only TWENTY calories each.
The missing calories are from my breakfast, which I had to eat to take some medication.0 -
Ok! Week one weigh in!
Starting weight : 260lbs
Week 1 (ending 4/3/17) : 254lbs
Results? -6lbs!
That's awesome!
My first goal is to hit 246 by May 1. Which is aggressive, I know, because of course I won't be losing 6lbs every week. But, whatever, I'm going for it
So, 8lbs to go! 0 -

I'm almost certain you'll reach your May 1st goal to be honest. I believe in you! Congrats on 6lbs loss. That's amazing.

Very good start. The first week usually is a big loss but it still should be significant after that.0

Yay! Thank you! My goals are based on 3lbs a week. So, knocking out 6 at once, means I only need to lose 2lbs a week now!0 -

I've discovered the one tiny downside to the one meal a day! Its that things come in packages, with more in a package than one can eat in a meal. Which means, I have to eat the same thing for multiple days in a row to use it up! Which, is partially nice, because you don't have to think about whats for dinner. But also very boring... because I don't get to think about whats for dinner I love to plan, and cook, and I look forward to my meal every day. Maybe its just an invitation to get more creative with the same item!
I got a package of hotdogs, and they are SO good, but they came with 8 dogs! That means 4 days in a row of dogs. At least they are delicious!
I made the mistake of looking at the scale this morning, and it hasn't moved. OF COURSE it hasn't moved, it's only been a DAY since my official weigh in. Funny though, how we get seduced by the prospect of seeing the number go down. I even told myself no scale until next week! I think I'll put a little sticker over the scale screen to discourage the easy hop-ons!

I use a lot of freezer bags. Today it will be for too many cranberry beans and too much chicken stock. I bet your hot dogs would freeze well.0

Good suggestion! My freezer is where things go to die, though. Once its frozen, I'll never remember (or want) to take it out. But clearly I should change my ways if I don't want this food to go to waste!0 -

The brand is Loma Linda Worthington. They come in a can, which seems disgusting. But they are SO good! so well spiced and the texture isn't terrible like most vegan dogs!0 -
Maybe you can plan your recipes a month in advance and for example, Monday can be hot dog day . Then you can freeze in 2 hotdog portions and every monday, just get the portion from the freezer and cook it up.
that way you won't forget items in the freezer.
Also, if you limit your grocery shopping frequency (e.g. shop only once a month), you'll be forced to use the things you've stored "for later"0 -
Yay today is my last day on antibiotics! So I don't need to eat breakfast anymore! This frees up another 100 calories to put toward my dinner, and mentally, it will make me feel more accomplished with the fasting!
I made the same mistake as before, this morning, by weighing in! I even moved the scale to a different room and I still just stumbled upon it
It was down about a pound. Which made a me a little bummed... then I realized - its Friday morning! I still have 3 solid days until official weekly weigh in time. I can totally lose another pound by then! (right? 
sure!)
It sort of motivated me to keep extra clean this weekend! I was considering having my first splurge day, but I don't think I will now. I'll save it for another occasion.
