I have a fun Cranberry Pear Crisp recipe if anyone is interested. It's awesome for a snack re-heated in the microwave!

Funny you should ask, Robin! :flowerforyou: This gives me an opportunity to plan strategy for myself! I will be cooking for a houseful and I seem to think I need to "model" how great the food is. Not to mention the snacking during the cooking process! :noway: I will need to be mindful and it helps me so much to have a nice…

I actually stayed at 138-140 for 6 months. I really buckled down in September and October and am seeing the weight go down again. I felt like my body wanted to adjust to the weight, almost as if it were finding it's new "normal" before I lost again. (I cooperated by not being diligent, I too was living as if that was my…

I set my activity level to "active" when I upped my calories even though the description of "lightly active" is more correct. Will have to get back on how this works out in a few more weeks.
