@lauriekallis Bella is right on, right guy won't care or notice much. Strength training either with body weight or free / fixed weights is your friend to fill out skin, burn through fat pockets. I know we revert to the scale as the baseline measurement, but it is not the only measurement. 1lb muscle is more dense (less…

@Pav8888 did you use hot water to bloom the gelatin then cold or tepid water? For cleaning blender can run with hot water & soap to get good start on it. Also would stick to 2 water :1 yogurt ratio, gelatin can be finicky. @conniewilkins56 Explains for your love for baking ☺️ Maybe your son in law would be up for salmon…

@conniewilkins56 agree with Pav get someone else to do mushing....venture it is Pink Salmon. I prefer frozen or fresh Sockeye from Costco. La Banderita Carb Counter flour tortilla make some mean Fish taco or quesadillas. In Midwest US, wish we had more fresh fish options. As Connies family use to run Grocery store(s),…

Diff kales have diff flavors, steamed dinosaur / lacinato / black kale with balsamic & goat cheese along fluffy scrambled eggs (eggs + egg whites+ cottage cheese) is one of my fav bfasts / easy meals. I also eat the steamed stems turn tender, crunchy broccoli-esc. If you're going to eat kale raw in salad / slaw (add…

@conniewilkins56 for adding photos find the camera icon on the post & search for photo that you took with iPad, can add multiple photos. There are other ways but this is the easiest. Chocolate hummus with walnuts = fudge, now I'm over the edge & need to get / make some, recipe seemed pretty straight forward with food…

Protein, lower carb fruits & vegetables + water, along with food scale to weigh in grams were critical to my success. No magic pill except daily consistency. Highly recommend getting weight off before baby, better for both of you. Plus helps build the healthy habits during your pregnancy. You got this! 😉
-
There are decent foam molded Birkenstock knockoffs with good cushion & arch support for wet environments on Amazon, $15 range. I do love my Keens though, Newport sandals, got them as overstocks at reduced cost. I would highly recommend for extended walking / moderate trail hiking. They also last a long time, had current…

Got back on Kroger Carbmaster yogurt kick, they aren't the cleanest ingredient wise, but 70 calories, $0.40, low carb & moderate protein, easy to fit in for snack. Also tried the Carbmaster wheat bread, solid option for 30 cal / slice when you are looking for transportation media for high cal filling option. It can hold up…

@Dwade0981 kudos to you for putting yourself first & moving towards taking control of your future. You have overcome some difficult times & feedback. At the end of the day, I find that weight loss starts & ends with myself. Above all else, I must be my #1 reason for why I'm doing this & I have to be responsible for actions…

#3 my go to's are cleaning / organizing or exercise, including going for a walk around the yard as I enjoy gardening / nature. Nothing tastes as good as fit feels is something that rolls through my thought train in these situations. The train details on occasion, sometimes mid bite I'm able to get it back on track if I…

Five brand gum is my go to when trying to hold off unintentional eating. Flavors last & gum doesn't get sticky, along with actually blowing smallish bubbles!

Joseph lavash is giant wrap for 120 calories. Can make flatbread wrap or crunch wrap in pan as it crisps up flakey. (Put the bubble side down.) Costco carved rotisserie chicken, cheese, bbq, ranch with balsamic vinegar tossed cabbage flatbread. Need make up some quick pickled red onions for next time. Been digging briney…

LL Zoom would be fun to get together virtually. I know there are lurkers out there, so even if you just want to listen, come join the party! May want to do separate thread on it? Sending FR now 🙂

Hard one for me is free food at work / other events, especially if it is not something I would normally have / go to / quality homemade. I try to go the route of Is it worth the calories? If yes then how can I work them in? If someone is just forcing generally sweets for some event/ reason, easier to just take it home for…

I was feeling stumped as I had small calorie budget for dinner, pulled together Air fry wide sliced cabbage spritzed with avocado oil + salt 400deg 10 min Add prepared sauerkraut Add 3oz thin sliced kielbasa (fresh previously cooked in air fryer) Pretty tasty & filling! Next time will use some sauerkraut juice, oil & salt…

Late to the party, I don't have a mini waffle so did belgian chaffles for dinner 3eggs 78g mozzarella 1.5T almond flour .33t baking powder Makes 2 normal belgian waffles Honestly would be hard pressed to tell the difference. Unfortunately calories are similar to flour based waffles, but much lower carb & better macros…

@conniewilkins56 tried greek yogurt + ranch packet, pretty decent, recommend making big batch over portion size as hard to get ratio right I do prefer 10gram bottled ranch dressing + 50 gram greek yogurt, seems to level it out better Still need to try making my own ranch dressing mix then metering in greek yogurt with sour…
-
I also add cottage cheese to scrambled eggs while cooking in lieu other cheese or bolognese with zucchini peeled like pappredelle for faux lasagna (I just throw in bowl don't layer & bake) to make them creamy.
-
USA doesn't really have dry cottage cheese that I have found. I prefer 4% small curd. 2% may be ok in pinch, but I struggle with less than that fat content as it changes the taste. Also different brands taste different too, I like Walmart Great Value & Kroger house brands over name brands. I occasionally go savory with…
-
Yes you can do a decent Wendys frosty or shake with ice, frozen banana, protein powder in powerful blender. Can even mask some spinach in there as well. Cottage cheese brings both creamy & protein.
-
After being previously disappointed by low carb ice cream, Halo top & traditional ice cream adds little to daily macros, been on the hunt for something protein & relatively sweet...I present Frozen berries with lakanto + cottage cheese, let them hang out a few minutes to start to meld. Thinking it would be good food…
