@HDBKLM congratulations on being firmly in the healthy range!!!

I’m still here too! Only maintaining since the first of October but it’s going well!

I’m maintaining since the first of October and still weigh myself every morning.

This is not the first time I’ve heard that peanut butter and carrots are good together. Must try asap.

If only....

When you first open it, stir well and incorporate all of the oil until you get a nice even consistency. Then keep in the fridge. Once it’s cold, it won’t be as messy to use.

I also suffer with IBS and Celiac and agree with the recommendation of @GottaBurnEmAll By using an elimination diet, you should be able to figure out foods that cause your IBS symptoms.

I’m curious, why are you here then?

B- vanilla almond milk yogurt with blueberries, banana and a bit of gluten free granola, tea with milk. (I’m not dairy free, I just prefer almond milk yogurt) S- tea with milk L- pb&j sandwich, baked chips, water D- homemade beef stew S- Yasso Bar

My mouth is watering reading all the stuffing/dressing posts! I absolutely adore dressing covered in turkey gravy.

When I could eat gluten I loved Shoo Fly Pie!

B- peanut butter and banana sandwich on gluten free toast, tea with milk L- Lara Bar, grande tea latte D- Red Robbin burger on gluten free bun, broccoli, rum & coke

Holiday themed NSV....last year these boots were tight around my leg with only a thin sock. Today I’m able to tuck both my jeans and a thick boot sock in with room to spare!

I could not agree with this more! lol

I went by the mirror for years and years. At 5’2.5” I thought I looked perfectly fine at 150 and strove to weigh around that number. I wear clothes well, and was under the delusion that with my “large frame” (hogwash) and long waist I was good. When my weight crept up to the point where my doctor mentioned it (31 BMI) I…

The only hard and fast rule I have for myself is to log everything every day.

A few times. I started at 183 and at that time my goal was 150. Lost 10 and then found MyFitnessPal, got to 150 and along the way I realized counting calories wasn’t so bad ;). I then shot for 140, reached that and kept going. I’m sitting at 130 now, I plan to maintain over the holidays and then lose 5 more. I’m 5’2.5” and…

Not much of an issue in the winter, but speaking of padding and lack thereof, the chairs on my front porch are wicker with a pattern woven into the backs. I used to be comfortable in them, but I noticed as I got smaller over the summer/fall my backbone rubbed against it. Will be getting throw pillows for them in the spring.

Sincere congratulations on your success! I’m sure your story helped someone today :)

I like cornbread made in this pan—every wedge has crispy edges:)

I didn’t lose anything for the first 3 weeks or so. I did think my clothes began to feel a bit looser though.

B- sliced banana, strawberries, chopped pecans and cinnamon, tea with milk S- Starbucks skim blonde latte L- salad with my homemade 3 bean salad on top, water, 2 squares dark chocolate D- baked chicken breast, mashed potatoes, broccoli, water S- probably a Yasso Bar

When I was a kid, my mom would make bologna and eggs. Fried chopped up bologna and onion in butter, beaten eggs poured over and scramble the whole thing. I loved it, but unfortunately I became intolerant to eggs :(

B- sliced banana, strawberries, chopped pecans with cinnamon and black tea. L- homemade 3 bean salad with green olives over iceberg lettuce, baked chips, water. S- Lara peanut butter cookie bar, tea. D- oven baked pork chop, roasted potatoes, mixed veggies, applesauce, sparkling waters/lime wedge. S- couple small squares…

You look great! Some people just always need to say something. All you can do is ignore them. It’s aggravating, though.

B- 2 slices gluten free Hawaiian bread, toasted, with Earth Balance spread, banana, tea with Fairlife milk. L- PB&J sandwich, baked chips, water, tea w/milk. D- Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, broccoli. S- Yasso peanut butter bar

The only way I eat cereal is with yogurt, never milk.

Pickles

That’s where I got my love for cheese grits. And pouring peanuts in my Pepsi:)

We lived near Atlanta in the late 80’s early 90’s. I remember soda was referred to as coke. Also a shopping cart was a buggy.
