Back from Vacation and need to get back on track
Hello! I just got back fro 2 weeks in Croatia/Slovenia/Italy, and need to get myself back on track here. I did pretty well on the trip - gained only about 1.5 pounds. Didn't always have control of the food as on a tour you get to select "meat option or fish option" and the rest is unknown fairly often. Still, miles and…

Returning after an injury
2 months ago today I was in a bike accident & broke my elbow. Now, after surgery, 4 days in hospital, and 6 weeks of PT (still more of that), I am returning to MFP. Still challenges - don't have full range of motion yet. Can't ride my bike or do yoga, so exercise options are somewhat limited. Just starting light strength…

We were going out to dinner - nothing special - just nothing prepped in the house as it was the end of the week. So, we go to our usual local spot, and the…

mashed cauliflower question
I saw many posts on making mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes so thought I'd try it today. I steamed one head of cauliflower - put it in my food processor with a little butter, a splash of almond milk, and a little grated romano cheese & blended it. It came out really thin (I did drain the liquid before putting…

My first success!
I joined MFP in late May because I was thinking how my doctor got on my case in December, insisting I needed to lose at least 20 lbs this year, and the year was halfway over & I hadn't even started. I work out & try to watch what I eat but I knew I somehow gained 30 lbs in the last year or so instead. He wanted me on WW,…
