I have weighed at my doctor's office and their scale is 11 lbs heavier.. but at least when I did lose a lot.. they did show it!! (Thankfully). The other doctor I go to..is different...They have a digital scale..My…

You are totally transformed.. Congratulations Sir!! May I ask, how did you keep from having a lot of "excess skin" afterwards? What exercises did you do?

I am saving your story as my inspiration. Although I am a bit heavier than you were to start and 2-3 inches taller and 20 years older.....I am soooo inspired by you that I just wanted to tell you ... Thank you.. You look incredible and are a totally different looking person! I laughed when I read..wrapping a regular towel…

WOW these all are so inventive and sound fabulous! Thanks for asking:laugh:

Thanks so much.. Going to go make it NOW! :)

:happy: Great recipe.. I would think with 1 c egg substitute and 4 oz of meat... that the size of the pan would be 8 x 8 or maybe even a pie plate? Doesn't sound like it woulld be 9 x 11 unless you want it thin... Yes you could freeze it.. and just reheat in the oven covered with a splash of water.

Not only the duplicates but I am a fairly new user and STILL have not been able to figure out how to enter a recipe .. Also I think the measurements should include 1/3 cup/ 1/4 c 1/2 cup, 1 Teaspoon vs only 1 Tablespoon There are 3 tsp in a Tablespoon.. why not have a choice rather than having to put .33 each time I only…

What an inspiration.. YOU and Your hubby look fabulous.. I can see he's benefited from losing some too.. Good job .. Thanks for sharing

On the ROADKILL comment ... :laugh: Way to go!!! I wondered if anyone ever did that... I see deer all the time and hate that the meat is just wasted when money is so short for some people.. It's be cool to donate it to a shelter or something too.. Thanks for sharing-- This has been hilarious reading -- I've been surprised…
