Currently I have hamburger soup. Took all over 30mins from start to finish and made eight meals up 300 cal. I'll probably make tortellini soup next. As soon as fall comes in I make vats of soups and stews.

Don't go on a diet. Change your lifestyle, a permanent change. Cook what you like, maybe tweak it for some healthier edits, and consume reasonable portions. Nothing remarkable at all really.

If I was on my own I'd make a nice seafood pasta. I won't be on my own since my parents are my bubble and I have to see them to help them around the house due to their issues. So if my sister doesn't feel safe having her family and our parents in the same bubble Mom, Dad and I will probably do a crown roast or a salmon.…

Pumpkin spice anything... except for soda, that's a non starter.

I donated three bags of clothes to Canadian Diabetes. None of my fall or winter clothes fit from last year as they're all XXL or XL. New wardrobe is M or S.

Thank you! I did a reindeer bun last year. But my hair is a lot shorter now so I don't know if I can reproduce the dirty snowman again, XD

I've taken Seroquel for 10yrs. So long as she eats within her recommended calories, she'll lose eventually. I only recommend not making her diet too restrictive as that often leads to failing.

I personally only feel hungry as I am approaching a meal. I knew perfectly well if I was starving all the time I wasn't going to stick this out. I eat enough to power my body and keep me satiated. It makes sticking to the weightloss track easy for me.

I often don't drink coffee on the weekends and don't suffer any negative affects from abstaining so I don't consider myself dependent. On work days I have one or two cups of go go juice depending on how well I managed to sleep. Under 6hrs and I drag thanks to my meds and caffeine gets me passed it.

Since documentaries like these are empty entertainment at best and propaganda at worst, no I am not swayed to different paths thanks to this crap. My focus is lowering my carbon footprint, and supporting my local economy while eating the diet that benefits my body best and that is not plant based.

Sweet and sour sauce and French fries. I don't like ketchup. XD

SW: 210LB GW: 145LB CW: 142LB NGW: 135LB I started focusing on losing weight Sept 06, 2019. I hit my original GW back in Aug, 2020. My body comp isn't what I'd like it to be so I'm sticking with this weightloss business until the apron and wings are gone, or reduced. Still, not bad results for one year. I eat between…

Feel free to add me I have both social and general anxiety disorders along with a collection of chronic health complaints.

Whoopie daisy XD When our on the road rep was young and learning the ropes of the floral industry his supervisor insisted on taking lunches at the local strip club. Long lunches. One of the managers ended up wondering where they always disappeared to and found the company van in the clubs parking lot... oops.

Spooning my cat. I'm the little spoon. Which is weird. Dude has no sense of personal space.

I work in sales but alas I've been stuck in the office all throughout this Covid crap. Our rep on the road has that life though. He calls me from far nicer/more scenic locals. Can't help but be jealous sometimes XD. But then I remember I'm moving into purchasing and I don't have to deal with customers anymore.

The pier fire is out and the air is no longer toxic with creosote fumes. I can actually go for a walk again.

Stood between my friend and her knife wielding brother. She'd gotten in trouble when a chair had been damaged after she used it to block him trying to stab her before. My 15yrs old self decided she wasn't getting into trouble.

I'm 5'4" and I set my goal weight to a conservative 145lb. Hit that last month and am not content with where I'm at so now I'm adjusting my goal to 140lb, then 135lb, etc until the last really extra jiggle jogs off.

Log religiously, and log everything. Weigh your food, cups and spoons are so unreliable. Don't makes guesses on servings. My experience with losing weight or gaining weight with psychiatric medication is that it is generally not the medication that causes weight gain, or for weight loss to be extra difficult. It's food…

Thanks. It was a tasty day. The mix, Kraken and Fireball is usually with Coke and called a Cannonball, but I prefer to make it with root beer or Dr Pepper, and I do a half ounce each. I like my drinks weak which does work for the calories. Forgot my snack, was a tall half sweet pumpkin spice latte. When I remember to get…

Breakfast: Overnight oats with collagen powder, 0% fat high protein vanilla yogurt and a half cup chopped peaches. Lunch: Chicken souvlaki and salad with pita. Dinner: Beef stir fry with cauliflower, peppers and onion. Dessert: Rootbeer float with Kraken and Fireball.

I hear you on the IBS. Veggies and dip is such a healthy snack (I hear this constantly), or replace rice with cauliflower in everything. I'd rather not be sick for days. Not that I don't like raw veggies, love them, but 80% of the time I will get horrible spasms that last for days and it's not worth it. I have salt water…

Running. On a good day my knees only grumble a little. Most days righty starts trying to give out. Also anything that requires coordination because I can and will trip over myself. No dancing for me.

Then they're rude as hell. To quote a drag queen, water off a duck's back. Don't dwell on it. I have absolutely been told what I can't eat after someone's found out what I lost. Yeah. Thanks, what I've done works for me. Depending on how long you've been at it you may just need to be patient. I was losing 10lb a month for…

If you aren't asking how they achieved their weight loss, they can keep their mouths shut, but if you're asking, and that's the answer their giving, then it's not fair to be annoyed. Not to come across as an *kitten* but that IS how I've lost what I've lost. Not drinking excessive calorie heavy *kitten*, portion control…

Since my sister is not okay with her kids trick or treatin' the crazy auntie, aka me, is researching ye olde fashion Halloween treats like popcorn balls and I'm going to make them some goodies from scratch. Because why buy *kitten* when I can make it for 5x the price? Don't know if I'll dress up. I don't have costumes that…

I personally use 1 part each oats, water and high protein vanilla yogurt, a dash of cinnamon, a scoop of protein powder, and then a half cup of fruit, usually peaches. Reminds me of peach crumble.

I'm wearing knee high boots. I haven't owned any in ages. Ever? Either way my calves were too fat for even wide calf boots. Since I bought these off Amazon I ordered wide calf to be safe and they not just fit, they have loads of room to spare. I'm doing my happy dance because while I hit my goal weight I have not hit my…
