Made a batch of lentil, sweet potato and spinach soup. That will be lunch for today for hubby and I.

Mine is open and public since forever... I just started back logging again.

Congrats on the little one!! I had 6 kids... breastfed all of them. I didn't start losing the weight until I weaned them. Especially with my last one, I was ravenous, baby was ravenous, all I could do was maintain my weight and sanity. Thankfully they grow up quickly and I always say enjoy the time.

I surround myself with people who lift me up. I no longer hear unnecessary commentary on my body or anything else. I'm very well versed on the delete and block, in RL and online.

🤢🤮 :noway: Yes call the health department. As a chef, it disgusts me that you're knowingly serving contaminated food. Food bourne illness is nothing to joke around with. Aside from that, any food (baring health issues) is fine as long as it fits your calories and such.

I nap all the time... love naps. When I don't get my nap I do have extra hunger.

Not at all

OP has a zombie profile pic... fitting for a zombie thread. 🤷‍♀️😂

Cautiously optimistic

This... congrats on the weight loss and health markers

I got mine at Costco for like $14

That's like 1 bean... what the actual. :noway:

The bolded sums up how I feel.

Masks and sanitizer... the new socks and underwear of Christmas gifts :laugh:

1. 405# Deadlift Because 4 plates look super strong and I'm so close! 2. Consistency through my depression. I tend to have dark moments where I do not want to do anything. I have to realize I feel so much better when I'm consistent.

I love those commercials! :laugh:

I was able to provide a nice Christmas for my family despite no one working since March. Thanks to some creative couponing, lots of survey points saved up and plenty of saved gift cards throughout the years.

Thanks 😊 Yes she did! And she put the coins there in case Santa needs to pay the meter. That's my smart daughter :laugh:

I tried to have Amazon Fresh delivered for Christmas dinner last week and my order was canceled with no explanation. So I winded up having to go outside shopping since all the delivery windows were filled and the items I wanted became out of stock. So there are many reasons why someone can't utilize a grocery delivery…

4 year old thread...

20,000 steps from doing stuff all day 😂🤷‍♀️

I agree with this. Also, people who are on public assistance (SNAP) have far fewer options as far as grocery delivery. And food pantries don't deliver for the most part here in NYC. There are long lines of people (sometimes socially distant sometimes not) waiting for food assistance. It's sad.

My favs... all the savory foods. I love holiday meals. My non favs... all the sweets. Never really had a sweet tooth. My only weakness is pecan pie and I didn't make any this year.

I actually never had fruitcake 😂 I would totally try that recipe

Oh dear. I hope the best for you OP. :flowerforyou:

This

100% this.

Would you like to speak with the manager? 🤷‍♀️😂

Weight loss mostly happens in the kitchen in the form of a calorie deficit. Exercise for health and fitness.
