two observations. Your salmon looks lovely and flavorful, and beautifully plated. Any chance you’ve had covid or other heath complications, medications, etc that could precipitate loss of taste? Second, and I don’t mean this negatively or hurtfully, you sound as if you might be suffering from depression. In fact, you sound…

The newsfeed was discontinued back in June of last year. 😢

welcome to the boards, @Maria1274mfp What a great loss! Love the beaming smile and confidence! Much continued success to you, and I hope you will post more often!

amen.!!!! We bought in an area about ten years ago. We’re in easy walking distance of everything except a grocery store- shops, restaurants, bars, bike path, gym, yoga, several parks. After the neighborhood built out and people finally noticed we were there, we became red hot - as did much of the rest of the town’s…

I thought that but it doesn’t taste like caraway and is shaped different. Some of them are too big for sesame seed, which was my first thought

Enjoying local cheeses from a Dutch market. I’m like a drunk. The more I eat the less I remember what they were: Gouda with cumin (was outstanding in grilled cheese sandwiches!) 18 mos Aged Gouda (ate one, have one left) Some kind of delicious sheep or goat cheese with crunchy things in it. They look vaguely like sesame…

I assumed British Columbia!

i was using a big nonstick griddle and didn’t need any oils at all. But after seeing someone talking about making pancakes on sheet pans, I started doing that to make my giant batches. With baking paper, they just lift out. No scrubbing or oil necessary. Easy peasy!!!! Genius and I could hug whoever suggested it! And…

nope. Not me. 🤣

it held together just fine as a burger. However, it was dry and tasteless, kind of hard to choke down, tbh. 🤷🏻♀️ Sometimes the pursuit of lower cal comes at the (borderline extreme) cost of taste and satisfaction. It’s always a tightrope! But I wanted to try it. No harm there. Win some, lose some. Tonight I’m using up…

I often sprinkle my coffee and frothed milk with cinnamon. Your taste buds perceive cinnamon to be sweet. Vietnamese or Saigon cinnamon is my favorite because it’s stronger than regular cinnamon. (It can also potentially act as a blood thinner for some, so caution if you’re using Coumadin or similar). I’m overseas right…

Be sure to look at it from other angles, too. Sodium guidelines are just that: guidelines. If you’re very active and/or tend to sweat a lot, affected by climate, have a job involving physical labor, you may actually need more than the recommended amount of sodium. I live in the Deep South. It’s hot here. I’m a sweater. I…

you have to overwrite the quantity to the % you want and then scroll down a bit and hit the check mark to have it recalculate before saving. If you forget that step, it adds 100%.

if you drill down to the board itself, it shows the current posts, in spite of what the summary page shows. But yeah, disconcerting.

about the same way that Amazon/costco/Target “sold out!!!!!” Face creams are going to make me young, winkle free, and beautiful? and I haven’t even researched being any of the above. I guess the reverse camera on my phone is reporting my shortcomings to some marketer. 😫

I use a particular frying pan that, if preheated, browns and “sautees” meats with no additional oil. Nonstick and easy to clean, too. I have a strained that holds a tub of dairy product. I often strain a tub of nonfat Greek yogurt for two or three days. It makes a great low cal cream cheese substitute, and can be used to…

did you mean to type 5kg a week? I’m hoping that was a typo and you don’t have your hopes, dreams, expectations pinned at that level.

my mom used an egg and torn bread when making meatloaf! I always thought that was how you were supposed to do it and didn’t realize til I was an adult, she did it to make the meat comforter, too. I still prefer mine with egg and breadcrumbs.

I just found some very nice looking ground beef at 129 calories per 100 grams (a little shy of four ounces). I’ve never seen ground beef this low cal. Tried translating it but all it said was 5% fat. The best I can find at home is 93% lean. Am very intrigued to try this tonight. Adventures in cooking, right? I might try…

Continuing to unpack for the kids (they’ve gone back to work), I found their bathroom scale and weighed in. Two and a half weeks so far of great German bakeries, a bag of quarkini (or two) every day, sampling a few German candy bars, visiting the local konditorei (sp, I know🙄) a few times for afternoon coffee and…

I pre-log, usually several days out. It helps me create a shopping plan. I go with a list and don’t buy anything not on that list. It also prevents the indecision of “I’m hungry and don’t know what’s for dinner so I’ll just get fast food or stuff my face with chips while I decide”. Knowing what’s on the plan also gives me…
-
wow, I’ve been down a real rabbit hole. What I enjoyed so much appears to be sahnequark, which is quark with cream mixed in. Regular quark is a spreadable cheese. Fascinating stuff. I’m going to try making it first opportunity I get. 👍🏻
-
I got a cup of homemade quark with jam at a bakery this morning, to go with my daily order of quarkini and coffee. Quarkini are like donut holes, but with quark in the dough. They’re very soft, and utterly delicious. The bakery personnel seem amused that I eat them for breakfast, since crusty rolls with meat and cheese are…

did you go to privacy and allow permission to share from apple to MFP? and assuming you’ve got an Apple Watch. iPhone alone will not sync or share to MFP.
-
that’s awesome progress @alatariel75 ! Way to go! I love that you had a goal and a plan to get to it!
-
what an inspirational journey, and a great, informative post @1191sawk I hope you’ll post here often and share your insights with others! BTW, you’ve built a butt ton of muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat. I’m on the upper end of “normal”, and occasionally skirt “overweight” BMI, however, I’m a consistent size 4. I don’t…

If I just plan a few minutes so as to motivate myself, it'll usually turn into a longer workout. This!!!!!! as @AdahPotatah2024 says above.
-
if it’s quick and easy, it’s seldom a workout, or one worth doing. As far as easy, tie on your shoes, and take the dog/kids/husband/dog/favorite music or podcast for a walk. If you’re a faster runner than me, you can knock out a mile or two or three quickly. Fresh air is good for the soul, and it doesn’t get easier than…

33 pounds in five days?! Hope new users don’t fall for these scams. 😩

Just my own personal take here, but I got rid of the bigger clothes every time I went down a few sizes. I’m kinda cheap and my mentality is that I’m much more likely to stay on track if there’s no larger sizes living in the closet. I don’t want to have to jettison my nice small clothes (I’ve seriously upped my fashion…
