  • I’m SO with you! I was doing fine till I got diagnosed with lipedema. The water retention will never go away. The only means is to have expensive liposuction. I adopted the “why should I keep dieting” attitude. I gained weight. Now I want to get going again to lose what I can to spite the lipedema. You’ve given me…

  • Egg in a basket. One slice of Ezekiel bread (in the freezer or refrig section of the grocery store). Make a depression in the center of the wad slice, crack an egg in the ctr and bake Toaster oven is great. This recipe is in Pinterest and may be in Allrecipes.com
