    Hello Everyone!! I just joined (a little late). My name is Muskan and this is my first time in this challenge. I am a college student and for most of my life, I have been on the heavier shorter side. I gained a lot of weight moving from home and to college. I want to take my life into my hands and my goal is to lose 6 pounds this month.
    I am currently at 141.2.
    My long term goal (hopefully by the summer): 120

    Hi team!

    My name is Dave, and this is my first time in a challenge. I’m currently 260.2 (started at 405, many years ago) and would like to get to 210. I’ve been kind of struggling lately, bouncing between 250 and 260 and so I’m looking for a little motivation. Hoping to contribute to the team!

    Headache all day. Haven’t been feeling right the past few days. I’ve been waiting for my hormones to get all crazy from my diet change, it always happens. Seems it has. Just keep pushing through, things will balance out again in a few months. 🧘‍♀️

    Thanks!! Where do you get granulated erythritol? I will need to leave out the cayenne pepper...I don't care for hot spices.. but the rest sounds good. I need to make a trip to the store for the others.

    @CindyJNC1963 I'm dying to find out how it went...

    I went to the store today and found everything .....even the swerve. I plan to try it out tomorrow ....I will let you know.

    Remember, the last step is patience, let the pressure release naturally after it cooks, 10-15 mins or so, it's worth it, trust me. Makes the meat so much more tender :smile:

    It went pretty well except for one snafu that was my fault. I decided to saute in a pan instead of the Instant Pot because I didn't see the saute option at first. I ended up burning one side and it smoked up the house so badly that it set off all the fire alarms. It took forever to get them to shut off. After lots of open windows and fans plus talking to the alarm company ...all was well. The meal was GREAT!!! I did let the pressure release naturally and the meat was really tender. The only change I made was I didn't use a full teaspoon of cayenne pepper. I sauteed some zucchini and onions to go with the beef. I will definitely make it again. Thanks for the recipe!!
