Triple batch of M.Stewart's veg/bean soup made and most socked away in the freezer. Irritated that I hadn't cooked the beans long enough but then on the plus side, maybe my supply won't be gobbled up by others, ha! This batch works out to about 118 calories per cup and delicious to boot, so depending on how hungry I am, 1,…

Well, I decided that I would doubtless forget one or two mornings a week to weigh in and so will just stick with the one day - I can remember ONE day, ha!

Ha! I'm so glad that groundhog didn't set you back too much. Sounds like you have a LOT of vegetable choices for your menu. I bought my dad a t-shirt that says 'Eat more Kale' - I've got loads out there and I have to dedicate some time to harvesting and washing it today, first rinse outside. I brought some in, uninspected,…

@jugar CW 150.5 crazy fluctuations...I swear when I weighed in last Saturday morning I was 158! Hope your battle with the woodchuck has resulted in you being able to harvest SOME stuff from the garden.

Hello to all the familiar names and welcome to the new members...I've just read through all the posts...sounds like we're all feeling quite determined....let's do it! I'm Sylvia, 52, in Massachusetts. I started with Waistaways in Jan 2020. I knocked off about 40 lbs that year, mostly I attribute that to logging food and…

@jugar CW 153

Good morning. I believe some on here weigh every day and calculate the average for the weigh in day...am I right? I'm thinking about doing that. Seems I'm back to a big fluctuations period and I feel like such a fraud when I 'lose' 2-3 pounds in one week. And on the flip side, when I gain 3 pounds in a week, I'm down on…

@jugar Thursday am weigh in CW 154 MUST rein this in!!! grrrrrrrrrrrr

Monday morning...past time for me to get back on track! Super busy weekend with lots of steps..I just don't know that I balanced that with intake because..no logging. Must begin again...because it works. @conleywoods super cool that you saw the cougar. But certainly, knowing you are in its territory, would be an odd…

grrrr... @jugar CW 152 on Thursday am. Sorry for the red # team...a crazy weekend and week, too much going on, visitors, work, AND I think I will give alcohol another months long break...it's too destructive to my will power and the following day is spent trying to satisfy the hangover hungries (even mild ones) and you…

Good morning, Saturday hurray BUT as I learned last weekend, I must watch out for random weekend eating - during the work week, much easier to be focused and stick to it. Last night was my loose eating night and that's fine...will watch it now for the remainder of the weekend. @jugar - woodchucks and a veg garden just…

It was a bit of a disaster weekend here, eating wise. Pulling it together TODAY!

Caved yesterday afternoon to those silly yummy hazelnut stick cookies from Aldi - curiously, the bar code scanned no problem into MFP but, amazingly, apparently there is no sugar in those things! NOT! Loads per serving but shows up as 0. They are gone now and therefore, nothing to tempt me again.

New veggie in my salad today - Celtuce - a friend is growing it and gave me some. I had no idea what to do with it but raw and in a salad is what I saw when I googled it. If it's good, I'll give it a go in the garden next year. Happy Friday! - a 3 day weekend ahead for me and lots of home projects to tackle=steps

happy birthday Yinka! you look fab! ....and....a happy Canada day to all the folks up north!

I am sort of here in the Goal Maintenance...I didn't do so great with my first go at it but am going to get to where I want to land in the next couple of months. Theresa, thanks for the reminder of the podcast We only look thin - had heard of them before and forgot, must look that up. Managed to stay fairly steady for the…

good morning, the heat wave broke last night hallelujah, I hope everyone else gets some relief soon. One of the better tips I learned from The Sonoma Diet book (I recommend, despite the name) was to try eat foods new to you - I think it does help. Years ago someone made a delicious salad for me and there was something in…

@jugar cw 148

Welcome back Vikki, I think you've got a reasonable goal...you can do it! Thursday weigh ins are the best in my opinion, you can ease off (a little) over the weekend and still have Mon Tue & Wed to rectify things, ha! I've also been absent but am reinvigorated with an August goalpost as well.

mmmm that sounds good and very similar to what I remember except for the balsamic dressing, I think I would have remembered that. @jugar that dressing you describe with feta & yogurt sounds interesting...I do remember it was a creamy dressing.

I don't think that I was ever hooked on sodas but I do know that for whatever reason, plain water, isn't cutting it for me now. But I do drink a lot of water...I buy the crystal light lemonade big packages from BJs, and tap just a little bit into my mason jar of water, heavily diluted, it gives just enough taste that I'll…

too hot here in Massachusetts. Eating on target today, not much exercise. Another day of the heat then relief. I've been living up to my username...eggs at breakfast and a boiled egg in my salad (I love that).

hello all! I'm Sylvia from Massachusetts. Started with Waistaways in January 2020 and with all the motivation this group inspires, I lost steadily until I reached near enough to goal weight in the August (about 40 lbs)...I said at that time that my goal was to be the same weight this coming August - knowing how easy it is…

Hi all! I've been trying to keep up with reading all the posts, like @PlaneMonkey, sometimes all in one go. Even though I've been very absent this month, 'hearing' all your voices keeps me going - the battle of not reaching for junk or just eating more because it tastes so good... I'm happy to read all your good news…

@jugar I was utterly convinced on Thursday morning that it was Wednesday morning ....realized later I'd missed my morning weigh in - yesterday Friday am, was 151.

@jugar CW 151.5 hanging in

@jugar I'm so sorry this is so late, actually, it's not from Thurs., rather it's from today - count it if you want or skip me for a week...a whirlwind week where I actually got to go away for 2 nights and with all the things to do to prepare to leave I forgot all about weigh in. Had a great 2 days with a cousin. Sorry to…

@jugar CW 151

@jugar sorry for the late reporting and absence, crazy days right now. It's a full on rainy morning and I'm going to go back a few pages and read through everyone's posts now. pw 149 cw 150.5
