Eggplant

The SkinnyTaste website has a free 7 day meal plan that I look at for inspiration. I am a pretty lazy cook so I haven't actually followed the meal plans, but I have cooked a lot of her recipes and they have all been great (check out the hamburger salad) :)

If you like the refreshers I get a venti strawberry acai refresher, no water, add coconut milk, blended. It comes out to around 130 calories and is very, well... refreshing!

Spiced carrot and chickpea over a kale and feta salad with 11% Krema yogurt underneath. Vegetarian and very filling!

Mushroom, leek and tomato risotto from Hot for Foods cookbook. Lunches are going to be good this week. 5 nice sized portions at 423 calories :D

She was also pushing appetite suppressant lollypops... so I wouldn't really take her advice.

I'd love to see more pictures! You are all my inspiration :blush: Someday I will be as cool and beautiful as y'all.

Since you are giving advice :tongue: do you use a liquid measuring cup for the egg whites, or do you go by grams?

Any website you can recommend? As an example Amazon doesn't ship them to Canada (which is fine as I try to not shop with them) and lowcarbcanada has them for 3.99 so I'm not really saving any money but they have a bigger variaty.

I enjoy Kicking Horse coffee. i don't drinking my coffee black but I am enjoying their Three Sisters blend.

It is times like these that make me sad I live in Victoria. We only have one store that sells one kind of Flatout wrap... and boy are they expensive ($4 for 6). We generally don't get cool food stuffs here and when we do they cost more.

HOW?!

We would also eat asparagus rolls at family functions. Cut the crust off of white bread and use a rolling pin to flatten the bread. Spread mayo and butter over the bread and then wrap it around canned asparagus spears. SO GOOD!

When I was younger I would eat peanut butter and cucumber sandwiches with fresh cracked black pepper. I also remember loving banana wrapped in american cheese.

My mom used to say, "It's not really charity if you feel the need to tell people about it." This can be a tricky situation as some may want to spread awareness and use their experience as an example, while others are looking for a pat on the back for doing a good deed. Not saying OP falls into either catagory.

Don't be so sure. I once had a doctor tell me if I wanted to lose weight I shouldn't eat anything that was white.

Can anyone recommend a good website for volume eating recipes?

I use Renee's Roasted Garlic Aioli Greek Yogurt dressing. I believe it is 35cal per tbsp and is packed with flavour. You can cut it with lemon juice if you want more dressing :smile:

I've had people say rude things under their breath as they walk past our fitness class (all plus sized people). I don't know if they are just mad that we reserve equipment and they can't use said equipment at that time, or if we take up a bit of space and they get mad that they have to walk around us to get to the free…

My dream vacation is Japan, and I would NEVER feel comfortable going with the weight I am now. I might also want to look fabulous incase I run into people who have wronged me in my past... Also, shopping will be easier/cheaper and just a better life in general but those aren't fun answers. :wink:

May I ask if you had any surgery for loose skin? Your body type in your before pic looks like mine (especially the arms) and I'd love to know what your skin was like after the amazing loss :)

Not to scare you, but I am in a group fitness class designed for overweight people and we have had people look at us and I have heard people say some nasty things under their breath as they walk by. From what I can gather they get frustrated as our group reserves certain equipment as it is a circuit class and since we are…

THIS! I have just started crocheting and it has helped. I put on a podcast and before I know it an hour has passed and I just want to keep going :smile:

That is what I have! It is a *kitten*. Apparently 20-somthing year old women don't usually get it, so I am special haha. :expressionless: OP, one of the best things I ever did was find a beginners fitness class where the trainer specialized in working with obese and/or physically limited people. If a move hurts she can…

This is exactly it! I couldn't agree with you more :)

It sounds like you are just looking for an expensive way to poop... and juicing gets rid of most of the fibre so you would be better off just eating more fruits and veg instead of juicing them :confused: I also 100% agree with everyone who says this detox stuff is bull-*kitten*. But if you are hell bent on doing it, at…

I find personal coaches to be expensive. Finding a class through a Rec Centre or something might be a good first step. I do a group class once a week that is aimed at people who are over weight and/or have physical limitations. This class costs around $60 for 8 sessions. I have been going for over a year and there is our…

@smolmaus That is amazing

Eating under 1200 calories is not great... 1200 is the minimum a woman should be consuming.

Walmart at Uptown in Victoria had the new CoolWay but it is sold out. The clerk said they don't control the amount or timing of the product shipments. A guy just comes in with random ice creams and restocks... cool thanks? They are all sold out so hopefully more will be in soon. My friend and I are on a call list for when…
