Think it was in this post looking for onederland compatible for breaking into 200s, how about twotopia!

@muttinm Congrats are in order, Weigh to go! You give me (& others I'm sure) hope, put in the work, earn the result. If you care to share, what would you say is the most surprising thing you learned in general or about yourself along the way?

Swap of how you think / do, if you have larger container that you are scooping out of, put entire container on scale tare it to zero then portion out, negative value is your portion. I do this for mayo, sour cream or peanut butter.

Congrats on the 365 achievement & well deserved results! @alisampm Appreciate the thoughtful post, helps to put perspective around more than just a number on a scale. Often hear it is not about the weight lose, but the life you gain.

@joone_9 big hugs & sending you strength! When I was traveling for work with hotel kitchenette, I would hit up Target for their refrig prepared proteins & produce or Whole Foods instead of eating out. I'm not sure if it is option for you at this time, but a thought in case it is. I don't post much myself either, but I will…

Any one into spin style biking? I enjoyed the in person classes when they were around, but with toddler I don't have travel + class time to commit during the week anyways. Does any one use any apps Zwift, Peleton or iFit? Leaning towards Peleton app because I will get variety of other classes as well. I have hybrid road…

Adding plain whole milk greek yogurt to ranch dressing to make dip or get more dressing for less calories + protein. Mixing 1:1 plain whole milk greek yogurt with premixed yogurt, flavor isn't as intense, but I find them crazy sweet, helps to dial it in. Could go lower or non fat greek yogurt as well if that's your cuppa…

@lauriekallis Amalactin is my go to for winter dry hands, does burn but works well or vaseline with rubber gloves to bed for a few nights. May want to try liquid bandage for splits.

@amart4224 check out glassdoor.com along with above suggestions from @speyerj There is drama where there are people. Finding the right company culture is key for me. Read the reviews on glassdoor about the company from employees. Do you enjoy what you do? If so would suggest keeping trying, but remember you are also…

@_inHisGrace I started out by weighing and logging what I was eating then stepping down from there. Here is online TDEE calculator https://tdeecalculator.net/result.php?s=imperial&g=female&age=42&lbs=305&in=61&act=1.2&f=2 I did it off similar stats you previously provided, but remember it is a sliding scale based on the…

@MuttiNM @Firefly743 Suggest researching TDEE, including maintenance versus deficit, as it will help explain calorie changes as you change. 10-20 lbs is good baseline for review. It was my Oprah ah-ha moment once I understood it. Lots of online calculators. You don't lose fat cells themselves, you use their energy per say…

Additional some people's bodies react differently to the various artificial sweeteners, holding more water weight etc. I eat artificial sweeteners, just try to limit them. I'm more about the whole foods / close to source approach, but that by my choice. My protein powder uses them as well. Protein shake in place of…

Sugar free jello tastes a lot like regular jello. I know it's not clean, but if you need a volume fix. I like adding little less water plus frozen strawberries which helps it set up quicker.

@christine_72 I use rocky road whey isolate along with chocolate smooth but I use unsweetened cocoa powder to jack up chocolate flavor. I tried peanut cookie...I didn't like it, but haven't tried chocolate peanut butter.

@judywbooth I have had success with adding unfavored protein powder to ricotta cheese filling in lasagna or stuffed shells. I did also use cottage cheese food processed instead ricotta along with eggs (+ protein powder). Side note ricotta is a whey based product as well so this why I thought to try it. You could put as…

@Wiccandothis I have been successful with adding myprotein brand unflavored whey isolate to zucchini / pasta lasagna along with cottage cheese food processed + egg in "ricotta egg" mixture with success. But there is this one time I added Whey isolate protein powder to HOT coffee....chunky monkey! Need to add to other room…

1 - 16 oz bottle of favorite ranch (Kens) + 1 - 32 oz of non-fat plain greek yogurt (Costco) + 1 pkt dry ranch seasoning = yogurt ranch dip / dressing. I use a plastic sandwich bag with the corner cut to refill the dressing bottle and put the remainder back in the yogurt container.

Buy them, buy them now, but don't tell anyone else that they are amazing! Made with tapioca based IMO Syrup, think old Quest. We are on our 5th box!

Pizza omelette open faced made with 1 whole egg, 2 eggs worth of whites,squeeze of pizza sauce, oz of mozz, 8 pepperoni, any other topping...seriously tastes like pizza toppings!

@billutzman suck it up buttercup, can't change the past, only get back on track tomorrow to change your future!

Fish another great source of protein low in calories and fat generally. Pork rinds but they cannot be your only source. Best is to have health mix of protein come from both animal and plant sources so you get all of your aminos. Enjoying Robert Irvine PB Fit Crunch at moment, heated up until melty, ahhhhmazing! Also…

Can you find McCanns Irish oatmeal? Oats are oats, so it is matter of preference, texture and cook time.
