Had one at lunch today. Used pizza blend cheese and pepperoni , heated in a dry skillet. Quesadilla style but pizza flavor. Dipped in spicy red pepper tomato sauce.

They always worked fine for me. I simmer them for several hours to extract as much flavor and gelatin as possible.

Did NOT eat Birthday cake or ice cream at neice's party!

Got to 148.3 this morning. Doin better! Thanks!

If I eat 1100 calls a day my weight loss stalls. I'm not tall(5'2") and my thyroid is borderline low normal. Not low enough for them to prescribe anything but low enough to slow metabolism. Plus I'm fairly sedentary due to a foot issue. I hope I can have more calories during maintenance, but won't know for six months or a…

I find that my maintenance point is about 1100 calories. If I eat more than that I gain. I have gone from 228 to 148 over the last 6 years. I hope to loose 20 more lbs over the next year or so. I have no idea what my maintenance level will be then. I'll remain low carb the rest of my life.

Yes after several days of restricting carbs " meticulously " I have finally gotten under 150. 148.9 this morning! What a whoosh! Thanks for the encouragement.

Those Chinese pot sticker dumplings are so good! I think if I just eat the meaty filling it would be ok. The lovely dough puts my BG up too high.

Folks here in Maine used to make mince meat pies with venison or beef. Plus the dried fruit, usually currents and raisins. My mother used a vegetarian recipe that used green tomatoes in place of the meat with raisins. It's the spices that make it so yummy.

99 today

Ice cream ,too. And home made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. And chips( crisps)

Logging most everything even, oops. Grain , even low carb wraps sets off cravings and BG rise. Got below 150 last week and then got off track and bounced up. 3 lbs . Been all weekend getting it off again. Not below yet , but getting there. Feeling lonesome and discouraged .
-
I do a weekly plan for dinners. Breakfast is usually about the same each day and lunches are often eaten out.
-
I thought I could handle some low carb wrap breads over the last few days , but they have triggered carbs cravings. Last night I found myself polishing off half a bag of Sun Chips and 8 ginger snaps. Ugh! Haven't had that many carbs , grain based , things for months. Trying to get back on track today. I don't know which…

I play World of Warcraft. I know it's kind of old and has been changed, but I still enjoy it.

Sometimes it may seem to be about the food, but is really about the sharing and connection between people. Another theory is is what we call the " Eve theory of sin" . As in Eve offering to share the apple with Adam.

Yay! Happy dance for you! I' almost ready for my happy dance. I'm about 7 lbs from initial goal . SW 187 CW 149. GW 143. Started in October 2015. I think I may set a new goal of 130 after I see how I do at 143 for a while. No matter what I'm low carb for life due to diabetes.

I figured out how to post pic! Yay! These show our garlic and tilled garden ready to plant. The rhubarb and the first blossoms on the bleeding heart.

Wish I could figure out how to post pictures on MFP!

It seems that everyone notices waistes,butts ,etc. what I'm noticing are arms. So much smoother and slimmer! The rest is great, too.
-
I have the sugar addiction, too. Plus am T2 diabetic. Didn't really care about myself for many years. Now I realize how few I have left and want to be slim and fit enough to do what is needed and maybe discover what I might want to do. Some vanity there , too. I battle with feeling vulnerable being slimmer, but still get a…

Yep, when my husband was alive I would have him lock "treats" in the file cabinet, cause I couldn't trust myself to stay out of them. Now if there are cookies around I tell myself" they are not yours to eat" . That usually works. Cookies , etc. are " not food".

@Sunny_Bunny_ Grats ! You've done very well! The photos show quite a difference. You are right that this way of eating and exercise are the way to health. Keep on keepin on!

Carrots don't transplant well. They will make deformed roots, so toss those. lettuce and spinach you can thin gradually , tossing the smallest ones but when you think the next ones are large enough to eat just pull every other one for salad. Eventually ending up with them a few inches apart. As the weather gets warm the…
-
@Deena_Bean , thin the carrots when they have first or second true leaves. The ones that look like parsley rather than grass. They should be 1/2 to 1 inch apart. It always distresses me to thin carrots cause they look so sad and little when done. If you don't they will be too crowded. They will grow pretty fast after…

Sigh... I'm going to have to endure hunger the rest of my life. Even HFLC eating can only help just so much. I can only hope I have the vigilance to continue for the next 20 years.
