@briwashington5 If you post your weekly totals I'm happy to add you to the spreadsheet again.

I'm out of eggs but have moved on to flax, spinach, yogurt and nuts for my omega 3 This is my first time eating nuts since starting MFP. They are so expensive in calories I thought they wouldn't be worth it. I'm thrilled to be wrong and to find out that my cashew butter fits easily. First a serving size is jinormous and…

The smallest amount of rice I can make in my rice cooker is 4 servings so it's sushi week until it's gone. I don't follow a recipe but roll up whatever I have in the fridge. Here is Eho-Maki. Basically an omelet rolled up as sushi. I also added broccoli slaw and shredded carrots and a tiny bit of mayo and Sriracha sauce…

My favorite way to have eggs is an omelet. Since nobody needs a recipe for that I bring you Eho-Maki which I made to celebrate the first day of spring. Yeah, that's right. Basically it's an omelet rolled up into a sushi roll. I use any vegetables I like and leave out the fake crab since I can't be bothered to buy it.

Your bunny is so CUTE! The bento is really nice too.

You're welcome. Does that mean you have access now?

Hi ::waves shyly:: I've been lurking and reading from the beginning. I telecommute and can't justify the cute traveling boxes but I may have just placed an order for a rather alarming amount of silicone liners, fancy cutters, and baran. I've always eaten yummy leftovers for lunch out of tupperware and this thread has…

Follow up. I gorged myself on homemade cream cheese and pepperoni sushi for lunch and I'm now a-ok again and bouncing with energy and Finn and I am headed out for a run. While it was a heavy meal I'm still stuffed 6 hours later so looking good to come in at/under goal today. However, I'm still interested in how people…

Ok guys. Sorry to angst on the team thread but I'm looking for tips from people that have been exercising longer. How do you handle eating back your exercise calories? I've been eating back 200 or 300 on days I'm starving and none on other days, with no real plan. This weekend I hit a wall. Instead of being excited to go…

Hi @SkinnyMelissa03172016 welcome to the team!

Sorta. Every day for the next five weeks would have to be exactly like the one you just completed. I'm finding I'm weighing +/- 3lbs of the forecast

Irish Roasted Salmon served with Irish Colcannon I'll be making a vegetarian Shepherd's Pie.

Eating the Rainbow My favorite part of MFP is entering my tried and true recipes and finding out how they breakdown into calories and nutrition. I've been cooking and eating my whole life and I just had no idea. It's fascinating! Today's lunch was Thai Shrimp Lettuce wrap (white, purple, red, orange, yellow, green but no…

@Dex_ Great. I've now logged all of that on the spreadsheet too.

Monday - yes Tuesday - yes Wednesday - yes Thursday - yes Friday - yes Saturday - yes Sunday - Not quite. I had 1g sugar white sugar in the whipped topping on my Sunday coffee. I'm still pretty pleased about the day.

WOOT! Way to go! I'm sorry you got kicked in the face but the fact that you do a sport that is a real possible thing makes you such a bad *kitten*. I'm in awe.

@shockvalue07 I'm not @mallowbar but I see roadblocks spots have now been added to the spreadsheet.

@Dex_ Do I remember right that we need to update the spreadsheet for you? I put in your 63 minutes for the day and the Greek food. Did you do the dance? The arm challenge? What about the daily checking and team comment? Any days without white sugar/flour/rice? Wow. It's been a busy week. Anyway, I'm happy to fill in those…

That sounds delicious.

@mariaheliza2015 Welcome to the team!

Good luck!

Oh! Chicken souvlaki!!! YUM. I now know what I'm having on Sunday. Thank you.

@GSwizzleGary Welcome to the team! .................................. Day 5 without white sugar/flour/rice complete. Day 5 was easypeasy. Greek food was leftovers. I have this awesome idea on how to make a Baklava smoothie. No processed sugar but the honey would put me back to day one with sugar cravings. I'll save it for…

Today will be day 4 of no white sugar/flour/rice. Yesterday was easier with only a mid afternoon craving where I had an apple with ricotta cheese and cinnamon.

::sigh:: I've been declining it for months, but last night as I slept, my computer updated to Windows 10. I'm not friends with it today. When I access our spreadsheet it's empty. Would someone please put me down for 23 min of exercise for yesterday? Today's Greek food is cherries and all the leftovers.

@Dex_ LOL. No. But when I went GF 10 years ago it wasn't the trendy thing to do and cooking was hard. I turned to Mediterranean, Indian, and African recipes as an easy way to cut out the wheat.

I did Leslie Sansone ab workout. Nice and beginner level like I needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOVHXpAaCk8

I just started a crockpot of Greek lentil soup and made Tzataiki (cucumber, yogurt, garlic, dill salad) to go with it. It will be ready for dinner. Personal trainer, Finn, has a limp and we will be visiting the vet today. So instead of our run I'll be doing an exercise youtube video. Any recommendations for a beginner ab…

Day 2 of no white sugar and it wasn't easy. I found myself obsessing about food and raiding the fridge for all the things that have a naturally high sugar content. Grapes, potatoes, plain Greek yogurt mixed with pineapple, and now carrots. It's all fine. I'm under goal. I didn't like the obsessing but that is temporary and…

Today's brunch is a plate of Greek Meze Hummus, Chicken and Black Grape salad, and Melitzano Salata (roasted eggplant dip) served with olives, GF Brown Rice Crackers and vegetables for dipping. I'm still newish to tracking and every new food is a surprise. Saturday I found out a large glass of whole milk had as many…
