You look fabulous! Also I love that lady photobombing you back there!

I have PCOS too. I'm pretty fortunate in that unlike many women with metabolic syndromes, I don't have too much trouble losing weight on a calorie deficit. My main issue is serial starting/losing focus after a few months and failing to reach my ultimate goal weight. I'd be happy to be accountability buddies with fellow…

I absolutely do this too. I'm currently working on losing the same 30 pounds I lost in 2017, and 2015, and 2011... I don't do well with incremental changes, I have to treat weight loss like a project I'm working on and really focus on it - and I enjoy doing that, even obsess over it a little. So that lasts around 3 months,…

Original starting weight -215 August starting weight -214.4 August goal -205 Ultimate goal -125 1st -214.4 7th- 208.6 12th -207.4 - yay! I've been watching the scale creep up all week, knowing I've been doing really well staying under my calories. Finally saw some progress just in time to get margaritas and Shake Shack…

There's just so much that can affect a weigh-in, including alcohol, sodium, fiber, hormornes, sleep schedules, time of day, time of month, whether you've pooped lately... you can't keep them all under your thumb, so try not to worry too much. You gotta live your life and it's good that you made room for a little treat.…

I have a closet full of rad vintage clothes that either don't fit anymore or dont look good on my thick waist. Also every time i go thrifting I find some amazing true 60s or 70s vintage dress that just... won't... zip.

Oh yeah! One of my favorite cafe bars had a brunch savory oatmeal with chicken, roasted mushrooms, sauteed greens, a sunny side up egg and fresh herbs. Such a good idea! I used to make overnight oats all the time but felt like it was just too much sugar and carbs, but I never really thought to try savory versions at home.…

Hey all. The title of this thread drew my eye right away because I am a chronic serial starter. This is my third or fourth time on MFP losing the same 30 pounds (of the 80 or 90 I'd like to lose). I'm really good at focusing on weight loss for about 3 months, then I take a break to travel or for some disruptive life event…

I'm a bit late but my weigh ins coincide with the milestones so I'll just fill them in. I love these 5 lb challenges because theyre so acheivable and incremental goals motivate me really well. So: Original starting weight -215 August starting weight -214.4 August goal -205 Ultimate goal -125 1st -214.4 7th- 208.6 14th -…

Oh man, is it weird that I feel like I smell better? I work super long night shifts and by early morning I would sometimes feel like I had a little bo and needed to reapply deodorant and/or use some perfume. Lately I don't at all feel like I smell gross at the end of the night and have actually forgotten deodorant more…

we had a savory gorgonzola cheesecake with nuts and apple slices in new orleans last week, holy damn.

My scrub pants have been getting so baggy I was worried they were gonna start slipping off. My fiance was going to the store this morning and I, half asleep, asked him to pick some up "just a size lower than whatever's in the laundry." When I got up for my shift tonight, I saw that he had gotten a size L for me (no more…

i like to sautee meat and veggies in a few tablespoons of curry paste. you can usually find a red or green thai one at any grocery store or a wider variety of thai, indian, japanese etc at an asian market. you can finish with a little coconut milk or yogurt for a full on curry or just adjust the seasoning (i usually add a…

Effortlessly clasping the third set of hooks on my bra this morning :)

We're lazy so we do a lot of one-pot meal prep. This week it was a big pot of soup, made with a store-bought chicken bone broth, into which we threw cod fillets, extra firm tofu cubes, broccoli, frozen spinach, shredded carrots, onion, garlic, and fresh ginger, seasoned with 5-spice, with a dollop of hoisin, huy fong chili…

I'm down for new friends. I'm 32 and I live in Houston, TX. My diary is open and I love peeping other people's food diaries for some reason, haha.

I have a bunch of barely-worn medium t-shirts, because every time we go to some tourist trap or roadside oddity we buy a shirt for posterity. Since they're not really broken in, I usually have to kind of stretch them out as I'm putting them on so they don't squish my boobs. This morning getting ready for bed I put one on…

yay! Original starting weight - 215 June starting weight - 197 June goal weight - 190 Ultimate goal weight -115 This fits perfectly with my current mini goal - 187 by my brother's wedding in July. I'm planning a calorie counting break while I'm traveling, so I'm definitely motivated to work hard until then!

Oh man, I love cheese. Runny stinkulous continental cheese, sharp crunchy British Isles cheese, fresh farmers cheese - all of it. I'm staying away from it for now due to cholesterol concerns, but I'm looking forward to being able to enjoy it on occasion. While traveling (and on a logging break) recently, I had a slice of…

I'm late to this, but in a way the timing is perfect: starting monday I decided to work on going to bed on time. I'm (ironically?) a sleep tech and I work 14 hour night shifts, so to get enough sleep I need to go to bed right away when I get home from work. Being well-versed in sleep hygiene recommendations doesn't help…

The other day my fiancé was zipping up the back of my dress for me and I just sort of wondered aloud whether my loss so far (15 pounds) was noticeable. He just laughed and stuck his whole arm down the back of my zipped dress. Last month it was getting hard to zip, now there's all this room! :D

octopus carpaccio with arugula salad and almond brittle

i don't see why not, seems like it'd be reminiscent of sour cream. if the texture bothers, you, you can puree it on the food processor for a texture more like ricotta.

it's hard to account for exactly how much rice/fish/spicy sauce/tempura batter is in any given sushi roll, but I think you could probably use the ingredients to find a reasonably similar entry in the standard rolls listed on MFP. For example, a roll with tempura something in it could be listed as one of the various crunchy…

My brother's wedding in July. It's in a national park in the mountains in California (our home state), and my fiance and I have an amazing trip planned around it. I want us to be able to hike a steep switchbacky trail up to a certain remote mountain pass and take in the view - it'll be my fiance's (a Texan) first time…

i work 13-14 hour overnight shifts and i try to bring a variety of healthy snacks plus a filling entree to keep me from getting hungry and cranky (and tempted by the vending machines). lately i've been eating a small sandwich or wrap with turkey or chicken breast (around 2-300 calories) on the way to work, a bowl of broth…

i cut salad dressings with lemon juice - toss the salad in dressing, squeeze a quarter or half lemon over it, toss again. it works great with both vinaigrette and mayo/aioli-based dressings. a little coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper does a lot for a salad too.
