Thanks for thinking of me! I do love aquafaba!

Awesome!! Good to know, thank you!

Easy dinner tonight. So satisfying!

That is so helpful! Thank you! I don't feel a need, either. And I have a lot to lose, so I feel like my body isn't going to be that confused, you know what I mean? :) Thank you again!

Thank you for your feedback! Do you feel like it did encourage weight loss? Or that it just made it more enjoyable?

I am approaching my first OMAD weekend now. I am nervous for this!

Ooh yay! I am hesitant to set weight loss goals, since I haven't even had a first week weigh in yet, so I am not sure what to expect! But, whatever, I want to be hopeful! So, my April Goals : • 246lbs on May 1. (That is very aggressive, as I am starting at 260! • Eat leafy greens every single day!

I agree! I actually prefer frozen cauliflower when putting it in Indian sauces and things like that, over rice. They have that nice soft texture!

Thanks! Tasty, too! :-) Also, I love pickled everything too!

Thanks! So easy and healthy, but they taste like forbidden junk food! Just so tasty. Cauliflower alfredo sauce on pasta is unbelievable too! It is such a versatile veggie!

12lbs in 3 weeks! Amazing! And cardio every day.. you're awesome! Your posts give me encouragement, thank you!

So great on your weigh in!! Well done!

I am very grateful for you putting up this honest update! I just started OMAD this week, and it is so easy to get swept up in the promises and dreams of fast easy weight loss! Your post is still hopeful, but it helps remind me that I may still stall, I may still gain... I just need to pay attention to why and keep on going!

@doodlebuggin18 I REALLY love the vegan egg. I find if you cook it just right, it has the same texture as a fluffy scrambled egg! I am ALL about that Chao cheese though! Yes! Cauliflower... so easy, and it comes out AMAZING. Get the florets cut into relatively similar sizes. Batter : 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk alternative OR…

thanks @amflautist for the idea to post my meals here! Its a great idea! I do log in all my food, too, to feel free to ask me about calories or ingredients! Here's my meals from since the start! Sunday : Roasted homefries, vegan egg scramble with sausage, spinach, and onion. Monday (no picture) : I was preparing a dinner…

Thank you so much! I have a long way to go (weight loss wise!) So I am very happy to be here!

Oh! good idea! I had started posting pics in the forum for food pictures. But i could totally do them here. Thanks! :-)

What a fun thread! There is something really interesting about seeing other people's meals! This is two meals : One meal is : Baked (no oil) home fries, and a scramble made with vegan egg, sausage, onions, and spinach. Covered the whole beast in chili lime hot sauce! Other meal is : a gigantic kale caesar salad, and a bowl…

Today is only day 4 of doing OMAD... and I am doing the thing I said I wouldn't do! I have been stepping on the scale every time I walk into the bathroom! UGH! But its going down every time, so it creates that addicting curiosity! I'll move the little guy into another room so its not as convenient! :wink: As a lifelong…

Before I went vegan I LOVED beef. It was definitely my favorite! I thought it would be hard to stop eating it, but it is exactly like what people say - once you don't have it anymore, you also don't want it anymore! (and watching the gruesome documentaries help that aversion too! lol)

Yes!! I love the China Study! Its truly fascinating and offers a refreshing and scientific alternative to the "paleo" idea of our strongest ancestors eating predominately meat. Quite the opposite! Anyway, its fine that you haven't been converted to vegan, anything that just ups the veggies in your diet is a great thing on…

That why this way of eating is SO great. Because its the first way of eating that I've discovered that is inclusive of any and all diets! People on here are doing keto, vegan, low fat, high fat, whole foods, etc etc. Its awesome!

Hahah well HI! I know what you mean. I don't know any Vegans in real life, so I never say I am unless some one asks. But I did think it was relevant on this site, because it of course affects my diet and my One Meal!

Correction - you "would" never be one! Being willing, and being capable are two different things! :-) Thank you for the welcome! I am happy to be here!

It is so fine! I am a very good at scrolling-on-by-the-yucky-stuff! :-)

Thanks for the warm welcome! I did start a discussion thread... I think! :-) not a great set up over here on MFP. But I'll get the hang of it, just happy to be here!

Thanks for the welcome, @1MADGIRL ! Happy to be here!

Thank you so much! Because I've always hated drinking, I just try to consume a large amount of water-dense fruits and veggies to get it in! But I will! :-)

Hi! I'm new! ...my name is Shannon. I am 35/female ...I currently weigh 260lbs. ...I am 5'8" ...I've always been obese. I got down to 185lbs a couple years ago doing juice fasting. And promptly gained it all back, plus some. I do enjoy exercise and have worked with a trainer for 9 years. However, I have a genetic condition…
