I do something similar.. When I put a casserole into a dish, I weigh the contents, and use 100 grams as a portion..

Miracle Whip..

We need a 'like' button.. Consider this a 'like'.. :D

You can highlight the link, right click, and select 'go to'...

Congratulations!! But I can't see your pics.. msg says I don't have permission..

I want to get into and out of a bath tub comfortably.. I miss my long, hot soaks..

I have decided to do measurements at the end of each month..

58 1/2 years old..

I assembled 60 quilt blocks.. half the planned quilt.. Taught a freezer paper applique class, and have been working on another 12 blocks for said quilt.

That's great!! Congratulations!!

That's GREAT!!! And, yes.. it is 'something'.. Every NSV is just that.. a victory... Revel in it!

Thank you for the OP!! I'm 59, and am shooting for an 80 lb. loss ultimately.. It's nice to know that it's possible to lose the weight and have a 'good' body at the end. I've been concerned about loose skin, frankly..

Not encouraging you to do this often, but I've found that sometimes after the days I overdid it, I actually showed a weight loss.. I think the body needs to be assured that it's not on the brink of starvation. So, a few extra calories occasionally actually helps rather than hurts..

This is a blog that I like.. http://healthyrecipesblogs.com/ Remember that 'healthy' doesn't always mean low calorie.. so choose wisely..

Anything with cinnamon... It's not strictly banned, but I do try very hard not to buy it.. cause I'll eat it, till it's gone..

I've had this same problem with my right ankle only.. I've lost 17 lbs. and that ankle doesn't swell nearly as badly. Admittedly, I had more problems in the summer.. so I'm waiting to see what happens as the weather warms.. But it does seem that weight loss has mitigated things significantly..

Good for you!! Those kinds of NSVs tell you that you're on the right track no matter what the scale might say..

I'm not tellin', too embarrassed.. I think so, I do use full fat options, because of the sugar in most low fat options, and I do use butter sparingly.. Plenty of sleep.. Fiber is good, I eat fruits and vegetables, too..

Carbs usually put me over my goal.. and they put me to sleep, in a heartbeat..

My goal is 1590..

^This We live in an age of abundance where food is concerned, and we generally don't labor for a living like past generations.. My grandparents would have scoffed at the need to 'exercise'.. by the time they got finished with the physical work that they had to do just to survive, they'd done more in one day than most of us…

Excellent.. Revel in those small victories.. they add up to big victories..

Yes it is an awesome problem.. Good job!!

The only question that matters is.. Am I losing weight? The answer is.. Yes, I am..

Good for you!!! The 'tale of the tape' can be very encouraging, even when the scale isn't..

Carbs put me to sleep.. A potato is as good as anesthesia.. and it works just about as fast.. I find I do much better on an all protein breakfast..

It's a little labor intensive, and I don't know the calorie count.. Make peanut butter cracker sandwiches with Ritz.. then dip them in melted chocolate Almond Bark...

Yesterday, I tried a cole slaw made with 50/50 Greek yogurt and mayo, with the addition of a bit of apple cider vinegar.. It was delicious, and my first taste of anything with Greek yogurt..

Sugar.. granulated sugar is produced by cooking the juice from either sugar cane, or sugar beets.. The cooking process produces molasses and granules.. The molasses is separated using a centrifuge.. Sugar is all natural, and fat free.. Unless you're diabetic, the only real danger is eating too much of it.. just like most…
