Please help me understand this. I have found that it makes much less when I add the water. so to get the same amount "of premixed so to speak" - the calories are the same? Am I looking at this wrong, because I do miss peanut butter![/quote]
Regarding powdered peanut butter, it helps if you weigh out the quantity of powder. A serving might be a bit more than you think, because two tablespoons of powder can very a lot depending on if it's packed or not.
Then you add about an equal amount of water to the amount of powder you have, so I've found that it does give you about two heaping tablespoons of "peanut butter" once you are done mixing it. I like to mix mine a bit runny and add cinnamon to put on apple slices.4 -
My NSV: I have recently started driving a lot more again, and I have been having so many problems because I sit so much lower in the seat. It was giving me trouble with visibility. Cause my butt is a lot smaller. I was contemplating getting a booster seat when I finally examined the driver's seat and found two tilt controls. Problem solved! My stomach is still really far from the wheel even after adjustment and it used to be brushing the wheel.29

The calorie count is for the dry peanut butter so the calories are the same regardless of how much or how little water is added. I just measure my 2TBS of powder, add water to my preferred consistency and enjoy.8 -
ALL of my bloodwork was within range! -C-Reaction (code for inflammation was way under compared to October 2021) Overall cholesterol was under 200, but LDL was 2 points over....no way doctor is making me give up my one slice of bacon per day!!!!15

.8 more pounds and I'll be under 200 pounds! Within the week I should break the 200 pound mark for the first time in years!32

I tried on a LARGE shirt this weekend and it fit. I know vanity sizing is pretty rampant in the clothing industry, but I am just learning to adjust to the idea that I no longer have to shop the dreaded "extended sizes" section. Even if it was only one shirt, the idea I can fit into one with an L on the tag felt pretty incredible!33

My old size 16 (Girl's size by the way, not adult size) swimsuit from when I was in the 6th grade fits me perfectly.20

I caught my husband's head cold and instead of eating all the comfort carbs, I'm choosing to eat the healthier food, largely in hopes of not catching it as bad as he had it. (plus my diet could use a kick in the pants). This also corresponds to my preferred method of "treating" most bugs - drink more water, eat more veggies/fruit for the vitamin and mineral boost, take zinc (which I did this morning)16

I'm wearing a large size shirt today. People keep complimenting me on the color, saying I look really nice today.23

Today is my 100th consecutive day of logging in and I’ve come in under my calorie goal every day. Started on February 7 this year and so far I have lost 19 pounds.24

Decided to take the dog out for a quick lunchtime walk. Ended up walking 1.5 miles in the heat in my dress and had no chub rub! Before I could barely walk around the house in a dress without anti-chafe cream or slip-shorts.23

I had to buy a smaller belt! I have to wear a belt with all my pants now, to keep them up lol. I'm not ready to buy new pants yet, not in the budget19

It's getting hot where I live and have started wearing shorts again. I have pairs of several sizes, and all of them seemed too big. The pair I landed on today fits perfectly at the waist, but is loose in the thighs (walking length). I just looked at the size: Size 10. It took me a minute for that to sink in. This is a pair I've had in the drawer for quite a long time and were always a little uncomfortably tight. I can't really wrap my mind around the fact that the legs are loose.22

I've got two: 1) I had to buy new shorts, and found that the smallest "plus" size was too big! I love the idea of not having to only shop in plus size stores. 2) My BMI is now 28.7 which makes me "overweight" instead of "obese"! Now on to getting to that "normal" range!25

Doing yoga this morning, hugging my knees to my chest is much easier! I’m easily able to clasp my hands together around them.
Sleeping on my side makes my hip hurt now, which I’m thinking is because there is less padding around my hip joint.19 -
Broke 8 minutes in a one mile track run! a 7:50 to be more precise.31

Went to my annual physical this week and my fasting glucose, BP and cholesterol (down30+ points!) were all in normal range. Instead of recommending I lose weight, I was actually asked if I had reached my goal weight yet. It was validation that all of the hard work has paid off.35

Adding a pillow between your knees helps.
This is pretty common as people lose weight in their legs. I think it has to do with the angle of your legs (and the thigh bone in the hip joint) when you have less leg mass. It does get better over time. (At least it did for me.)

There is birthday cake at work for a coworker today. Normally, I would have a small slice, log it, and move on. However, because I had a pizza and cake extravaganza for a family member last night, I just walked on by that office cake today. The victory is that I didn't fall into the "Well, I messed up this week, so might as well have some" fallacy. That's a huge win for me.

Decided on a whim to go swimming Tuesday, grabbed two pieces--top and bottom-- and off we went. Tossed them in the washing machine when I got home. Realized yesterday when I went to put the clean suit away that I'd grabbed the smaller swim skirt--I've been wearing 26/28 for years and Tuesday I yanked on a 22 and didn't even NOTICE.33
