Anyone doing Diet Bet Transformer right now?
I started a terribly predictable 10%-in-6-months bet Jan 1st. First weigh in is Feb 1, with a target 3% loss and I think I'm there! I've actually reduced my target loss to 0.5 lb for this week, just to take a break without totally stopping. If you're in one, how's it going? Do you have a planned reward if you win your…

Coleslaw w/ Greek Yogurt Dressing
https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/greek-yogurt-coleslaw-recipe/ This was really good! I also like that it will last out for a bit - greek yogurt isn't going to spoil quickly. I liked it better than regular mayo-based coleslaw.

Chili Lime Sheet Pan Salmon - soooo good.
This is my new favorite salmon recipe. It's so good. Use whatever veggies you enjoy roasted - last night, I did onion, pepper, broccoli, mushrooms, and baby potatoes (microwaved for a few min to get a head start on cooking). https://cafedelites.com/2016/05/16/sheet-pan-chili-lime-salmon/ SHEET PAN CHILI LIME SALMON Serves:…

High Protein Pancakes (no protein powder)
These are delicious. My kids love them, and don't notice a difference from regular pancakes. I know there are even healthier ones out there, but these have a great texture and don't taste weird. You don't need to like cottage cheese to like these. http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipe/fluffy-cottage-cheese-pancakes Fluffy…

Who wants to play "how many calories"?
I'm eating out tonight and trying to plan ahead, as while it is "just one meal", I have "just one meal"s several times a week, one way or another. It's a local upscale Asian restaurant. I'm thinking this looks great: TIGER SHRIMP SHANGHAI Oceanwise Tiger Shrimp, Local Thick Egg Noodle, Ginger, Scallions, Dark Soy But this…

Metabolism, RMR, weight loss
Is my "slow metabolism" stalling my weight loss? Fact based, clear, and super interesting! "The words “slow metabolism” are incredibly overused. As in “I just can’t lose weight anymore; my metabolism has really slowed down.” Or “I’m not like you, I can’t just eat everything I want. Your metabolism’s faster than mine.”…

Knee pain gone!
OK, I will admit that I don't know exactly what cured me, but I'm so relieved to feel better. In about November, things were bad enough that if I got up after sleeping, my knee would give out under my weight and it was agony. That was my call to be a grown up and ask for help. So I: -went to physio. Got a diagnosis…

Vegan chocolate pudding
This stuff is delicious. I'm not a vegan, I'm just generally out to increase my veggies. http://www.healthyfoodforliving.com/sweet-potato-chocolate-pudding/ You could sweeten with something calorie-free to make it even lower calorie. :) Seriously, it's dessert.

Inspiration reading (or "I wish I could marry James Fell.")
But he's married to someone else, and so am I. If you think you're eating 1200 calories and not losing, or you have a "slow metabolism", or just need a kick in the pants, read this: http://www.bodyforwife.com/the-most-important-thing-you-can-do-to-lose-weight/ And then "tips and tricks" that are pretty sensible:…

Special occasion menus? (Valentine's)
I usually cook at home for Valentine's, as the crowdedness, prices, and getting a babysitter don't really appeal. So far, this is my plan, but I'd love to hear your favorite "special occasion" meal. Bonus points if it's not calorie suicide. Roasted broccoli with garlic and lemon Easy scallop scampi:…

Fermented foods!
So a few months back I got into making fermented foods. I'm not sure I believe ALL the hype, but they're low cost to make and I like the flavours, so if they're good for me at all nothing lost. I do think they've helped with my sugar cravings - eating a carrot pickle serves as a great palate "reset" at least. Anyone else…
