Finally made it below my pre Vegas weight. Took awhile with the extra traveling since getting back.
I'm having surgery on Friday so I'll enjoy the loss while it lasts.

I am Andrea, 61, from Toronto I have lost almost 25 pounds thanks to all of your support. Thanks to the organizers and leaders!
Targetting 5 more this year. Have had a few upsets of late but hanging in. My other goal for this year is to get back to a more reasonable fitness routine. Still not doing much right now because of illness. But such is life - we just have to go with it!6 -

Good to see you @Andreabroadley - I have been hoping you were feeling better. It is probably a good time to be home in bed, even if not with a cold. Quite some snow! We're getting it in central Québec now - it is piling up
Great stepping this week with @fourathomej is leading the pack - WOW! Great job everyone. Lett's make it ALL the way to Niagara Falls next week! Or from Boston to my house
Congrats on a great loss and good wishes for your surgery @reflectionofme - hope it all goes well.2 -

I was wondering if we could get to the North Pole to see Santa 🎅🏼 by Christmas 🎄? 😉 About 3,000 miles from NYC. We could cut some miles if we leave from your house! 🤗😉😘2 -

Did good yesterday, did yoga in the morning, treadmill after work, and stayed within calories, I had my groceries delivered yesterday also... WHY have I never done that before ? I did forget to hard boil eggs though, so I'll do that today... Todays goals aside from boiling eggs, is 20 min of yoga, but I already did that. I will do a 3 mile video when I get home, those take about 40-45 minutes... I am also going to make my lunch for tomorrow so I just have to grab it, I'd like to get my yoga in the mornings to 30 minutes, So I'm hoping that will help...3

Sounds like everyone is having a good time cooking, walking, yogaing, shopping, and generally being fabulous! I am deliciously snowed in. Well, I could get out if I wanted to, and will have to go do some shovelling later, but it is beautiful. I love the first big snow of the year, even if it means listening to my husband grumble about it. He never finishes all the things he wants to finish before it comes, so every year it is like a personal affront to him! He makes me laugh (quietly, behind closed doors).
Keep warm and well, all

Late weigh in: 213.4
I mean, jeez. If I only gained 1.5 pounds after the last 4 days of eating just about everything high calorie under the sun, I can't complain at all.
For the record, MFP has an entry for Everything. It's pretty funny.
Seems like everyone is doing pretty well as we move along into the holiday season. You're all awesome!

Hi @Shexio !
I love this recipe/ it’s so fragrant. 🌱
This recipe is for a large sized crock pot. I like it because it’s really versatile. This is a full fat recipe - I like the flavor. To save calories one could use a lite Coconut milk and use skinless chicken thighs.
I find the full fat holds up best for 7hrs on low in a crock pot.
Alternatively - this can also be made in a pan! Make the soup base and vegetables first and throw in chicken parts to a low simmer.
Ps - can use shrimp and cod in pan version as well! The cod disintegrates in the crock pot. 🤦🏼♀️
Thai Green Curry Soup
15 oz coconut milk
3- 4 tablespoons Thai Green curry paste
15oz Chicken broth
2 lbs Chicken thighs
6 stalks Green onions
1half medium Yellow onion
1 small Red pepper
1 small yellow pepper
1 small jalapeno
1 tablespoonLime juice
8 Shitake mushroom caps
Sea salt to taste
Chop all and place in crock pot on low for 7 hours.
I put it all in crock pot before bed and it’s ready for breakfast! I also put in the chicken parts whole- they fall off the bone in the pot.
Below is a green curry recipe- in a pinch they also sell green curry at many grocery stores. (Thai Kitchen sells one)
Galangal can be hard to find outside Asian Markets FYI. I get it here in Chinatown ☺️
Thai Green curry recipe-
1 cup chopped Thai green chili’s
3 shallots
2 cilantro roots
1 head garlic
2 oz Thai basil leaves
1 stalk lemongrass
2 tables spoons galangal
2 tablespoons kaffir lime zest
1 teaspoon coriander
1teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1teaspoon white pepper
Chop all and put in pestle and mortar - grind into a paste. (Or blast it in Vitamix or blender) this makes enough for a ton of soups. Mine kept for about 10 days in fridge. May want to cut this in half if you make from scratch. 1 -
Printed out your recipe @Safari_Gal_ thank you - love eating this but would really like to be able to make it myself.
Working on my mental state & doing things, not just thinking and talking but making it happen. Straightened out a couple cabinets and felt better for doing it.3 -

Actually, we had put you on an EXC weigh-in for this week (guess I should have looked at that, eh?). If you want to skip it and just stay where you were (ONLY 1.2 pounds less!!) that's ok too. I'm doing that for now, so let me know if you want the spreadsheet to include the late weigh-in or not.
And hug you back!0
