I had a little cheese celebration tonight and thought of this thread. 12 month cheddar Parmesan Bellavitano gold

Had extra calories today, but no, it wasn't all for me lol...

Hello and Happy August to you both. Things are starting to get a bit crazy around the house now, as we're preparing to go on a family vacation tomorrow evening. I have to admit I'm nervous about intake for the week we'll be gone. I'm hoping that IF will be the super tool that I need to either have a net loss for the week…

Things went reasonably well this week. Making my intake and strength training/step goals. Tomorrow I leave for a family vacation. Not sure if I'll be bringing the scale with me or not. Will have to see if it fits with everything else in the luggage. 5'1"F HW: 261.0 August Start Weight: 251.6 August Goal Weight: 244.3…

Some of the intake I've had recently: Novice rolls BBQ pork sandwich (ciabatta) Cheeseburger on ciabatta Lamb loin chop with brown sugar bacon Brussels sprouts Lemon vanilla sorbet (with Meyer Lemon- raspberry syrup) Cherry vanilla frozen yogurt with sea salt dark chocolate bits
-
Blitzed everything together then poured into a Creami pint container, prepared 13 g of sea salt dark chocolate for mix-in, froze both separately, processed the pint, then ran the mix-in cycle. Topped with additional cherry (33 g) and chocolate bits (4 g). Family gave this a thumbs-up. Nutrition info is for the full recipe,…

August includes a family vacation for me, so I'm going to have a higher goal weight than I would've otherwise gone for. Hoping for a net zero week (maintaining) from that once travel water weight drops off. 5'1"F HW: 261.0 August Start Weight: 251.6 August Goal Weight: 244.3 Ultimate Goal Weight: 132.0 Dropped weight so…

I've met all three mini goals. Updated goals: Weight: <250 lbs trending average Fitness: 10k steps 3x/week, 6k steps 3x/week, 5k rest day; with strength training 3x Intake: 21 days within goal range (now tightening goal range to 50 kcal +/- target)

Good morning, hope everyone's weekend is off to a good start. Fasting went pretty well for me this last week. I had a great success with a low-cal frozen dessert, so I'll be on to another frozen project this week: a reasonable-calorie frozen yogurt with a high-ish protein count and tasty add-ins. I'm hoping this will move…

@skinnyjeanzbound Welcome back from your trips! Sounds like you had a great time! Had a decent week, all things considered. Made a low-cal sorbet-ish dessert and it was an absolute winner. Having something for dessert every day that feels like dessert is an important piece of the overall puzzle for me, I think. I'm going…

Things went reasonably well this week. Weight will likely tick upward tomorrow, but either way it looks like this month is a wrap. 5'1"F HW: 261.0 July Start Weight: 260.5 July Goal Weight: 250.7 (revised from 255.5, then 252.5) Ultimate Goal Weight: 132.0 Dropped weight so far: 11.3 July 2: 260.5 July 9: 257.5 July 16:…

Jordan's Skinny Syrups. Now that I've realized these make FANTASTIC lite frozen desserts, it's like a whole new world opened to me.
-
Winner, winner, ice cream (or in this case sorbet) dinner! I calorie zig-zag, where some days are low, and others are high. One of the biggest drivers to me getting this gadget was the possibility of a frozen dessert for low cal days. I have succeeded! Not sure of a good name for it... We'll call it... Lemon Raspberry…

@springlering62 Dear Master of the Skyr... would you please teach me (and anyone who happens to read this who's interested) your ways? Considering the price of Skyr locally ($6.49 is the best I've seen at the places I shop), I'm willing to invest in rennet and maybe even a yogurt bag for draining, though I do have…
-
A reasonably decent week. My weight is up a bit comparative to where it should be, but I got strength training in 3x this week, so I'm not surprised that it is where it is. So long as I stay the course and my body doesn't decide to start hoarding water, I should make goal next week! 5'1"F HW: 261.0 July Start Weight: 260.5…

Hello again. Good to hear you're feeling better @Meghan509 . Hope your drive and weekend go wonderfully, @KateNkognito ! This week went reasonably well, with no planning surprises or major hiccups. I'm now playing with a new food toy in the kitchen, the Ninja Creami. I'm hoping to make low-ish calorie frozen desserts that…
-
@JNettie73 Thanks! Sounds like you're having a super-busy, but awesome summer! @nsk1951 So much goodness there with your produce! And you're totally right about it staying fresher longer. I used to go to the farmer's market and recall that stuff doing really well. But then it got more expensive than Aldi's... and the…

Intake goal met! Updated goals: Weight: 250 lbs Fitness: 10,000 steps/day 3x/week (on-days) with 5,000 steps/day 4x/week (off-days) Intake: 14 days within 100 kcal +/- target

You're a gem, Spring! I look forward to adding my own finds/spin-offs soon -- takes several days to cycle through a pint (hoping a bit of pudding will lead me to my first post next week). Have a spin-off of your vanilla base in for freezing and will be having my family taste-test it tomorrow night (and from there I hope to…

@springlering62 Could you please add some to this collection?
-
It had been a while since I've made this, but if I'm recalling correctly, I just took everything and put it into a skillet... Here's some nutrition info for the recipe: Enjoy!
-
I hope you and your BF are feeling on top of the world soon, Meghan! It's been really hot here too, though it's dropping a bit today comparatively. Kate, I love other metrics too! My family recently got a scale that tracks fat, water, muscle, and bone in addition to total weight... not sure how accurate those measurements…

So as I was heading out of my gym's locker room to go try some walking a couple of weeks ago, a lady passed me and told me that she lost 110 pounds, so if she could do it, I could too... about made me want to leave the gym and not even try, honestly. I get that it was almost assuredly meant as encouragement, but she didn't…
-
Thank you for this thread. I look forward to seeing future progress, recipes, and stories! Ninja should hire you as a spokesperson/marketer @springlering62 ! I have a new kitchen gadget, as I couldn't resist the lure of all the noms!! I have a lemon sorbet set in the freezer for prep now that has a total calorie load of 27…

Had a breakthrough today... Had only a portion of a pint of Ben and Jerry's, what I pre-logged, and was satisfied. I've never been able to do that before!
-
Hope things are shaping up for you @nsk1951 . I'm trying to avoid the summer foods for the most part because it's hard to stop once it's started. I ended up deciding to drop one of my low days this week due to a birthday dinner being on that day. Otherwise I've managed to stick to the plan for intake. Movement has gotten…
-
Hope you're feeling better @Meghan509 , and hope you're able to stay cool @KateNkognito . This week was a mixed bag for fasting for me. Was successful Monday and Friday, but Wednesday was my brother-in-law's birthday and my husband decided that he wanted to go out *that day* to celebrate, so I had the choice of either…

Met mini-goal for weight this morning. Next weight mini-goal will be 250 lbs. Hoping to meet the fitness goal this coming week (and the intake goal, but we'll see...)
-
I revised my goal again, since it seems likely that I'd make goal next week otherwise. I'm allowing for a 2 lb water weight increase as I hope to start strength training on Thursdays soon (currently taking it slow and doing only T/Sa due to DOMS and perceived difficulty), and going for at least 1% weight drop per week…
