No afters. I did take 3 hours to eat and drink this. Here's what it was: Dinner: avo/tom salad + smashed roasted cauliflower with pan gravy + pan roasted turkey cutlets with crispy herbs + no sugar added cranberry chutney + roasted brussels sprouts in toasted garlic After Dinner Cocktail: low carb manhattan with orange bitters Dessert: sugar free cheesecake millionaires with sf cherry preserves and whipped cream with decaf coffee (not shown). I've no idea how many calories. I didn't measure the ingredients to make my portion. <<<Drivin' the bus to hell...

Ok, this was last night's dinner. I did the turkey cutlets in fresh herbs and ghee with a butter-finished pan sauce. I also came up with an lc manhattan and made sf cheesecake portions with sf cherry preserves. Was delish. But not sure it was worth the 2lbs up...

Ok, girls, I can relate! @Healthy_life2 & @catwoman7 I'm 133.8lbs this morning. Gah! True story. At 4:30am I was 135.6lbs. Cranked myself out, took some cold medicine and went back to sleep. Woke up pooped. Got nekkid. Weighed. Weighed 135lbs. Super cranked out. Drank some water. Did a forced walk for 1 hour. Was contemplating how BADLY I did NOT want to go back into WLM. But 135lbs is the TOP of my window and is totally unacceptable. So I knew that was my future today and this week. Sigh. Then went and pooped AGAIN! LOL. Weighed. And I'm now 133.8lbs. True Story. I an now in the middle of my window rather than the top (using musician's math to round down rather than up. LOL). But I will still be in WLM cuz dayum. I'm already cranky. So why not? But I will tell you @ms.sss, the relief I feel at being 133.8lbs rather than 135lbs is tangible! And cray. Mostly cray. I know as everyone already said, it's mostly water and it will come back off with a day or two of healthy eating. But it's ridiculous how easy it is to get to the top of your weight window without even trying!!! Gah! OK, rant over.

I got the rolls (hamburger buns). I thought the taste was pretty good, but very dense. However, super convenient and filling! And I didn't have a weight jump or an RH event which leads me to believe they are safe for me in maintenance! Have fun on the road with PBJs!!! Sublandia...ha!

Sucks big time. Make sure to have a cup or two of bouillon (full sodium). Also you can try adding a pinch of himalayan sea salt to your water. You might need electrolytes? Call your doc and tell em.

Lower BMIs tend to lose a little slower, but you end up at the same place around 18 months. It's a journey relax and enjoy it. Easy to say, hard to do. I only lost on average .2-.3lbs per day. Now I'm 132lbs this morning--down from 287lbs as my most recent high.

I'm betting your friend's doctor is Dr. Matthew Weiner in Arizona? If so, his plan is a sound one. In the early days there are shakes, but as his patients heal they follow the Pound per Day plan of his. It's veggies, nuts, seeds, legumes and small amounts of protein.

what does ur doc and RD support?

It might be ER time. Can you keep liquids down? Do you feel hot like you're running a fever?

Ok, I give you Fun With Fluff! I made frozen Fluff Clouds. For 2 of them...only 34calories. They taste like a frozen type of ice cream sandwich cookie.

@ms.sss Ahhh-mazing treats. Fun with Fluff is what I call these. ha! Ok, so I took the protein fluff I made yesterday and put it in 10g "clouds" then froze them. Then topped each with 3g sf Hershey's Chocolate Syrup and 1g of slivered almonds. The texture is very similar to some weird frozen ice cream sandwich. They are very filling and here's the best news. For 2 of them--plenty for a snack...it's more calorie and protein magic! Each mound is 10g of protein fluff + 3g SFHS + 1g almonds Total for 2 Fluff Clouds: 34 calories; 3g of protein; 1g fat; 2g carbs; 1g fiber; 1g net carbs

Can attest that tamales for Christmas has been going on since I was a tiny girl. I'm 57. I'm willing to bet it's been tradition long before that.

This is a call to your doc hon. Your tummy shouldn't be hard at this point and I would think the pain should be reducing. It kinda sounds like you need a good poo. But then, that's my answer to everything. Call the doc... also I didn't have a binder.

Yeah, I think though, that he has some status there having a MILF. My nephews and niece were always secretly pleased with how young and hip and beautiful/gorgeous/do-able my sissy is and was as they were growing up. I'm pretty sure they took some sh*t from it with comments and looks. LOL.

OH lemme know! You really need to brown them first! I tump all the veg and the bones in the oven and roast at 400-425* until browned. You can even add a spoon or two of tomato paste. It's not traditional but it browns up and is so heavenly! Stir them and do it till you can't stand the smell. The object is to roast them/brown without burning/scorching.

PS I want your sparkly magic slippers and your super power-the ability to walk in them sophisticatedly! Not like my reality: looking like a wobbly, off-balance, boozy old people.

Isn't regional preference facinating? Love it!

You had me right up until the maple syrup...then I threw up a little in my mouth. *crying* I may be the only person on the face of the earth that thinks maple syrup should only appear on pancakes, waffles/chaffles, or some super smoky bacon.

I'm pretty sure acting your age not your shoe size is a thing. I don't think the other is...*looks down at flannel pjs and bunny slippers...* Nahhh. *smh*

Thanks! I love Dr. W! I hadn't seen this one so thanks for sharing! Running with knives now to go see what else he's done lately!

Are you eating more quantity per meal or eating different foods, eating more frequently now? What's behind the gain?

Yum! What dressing do you put on it?

Sorry forgot to show a pic of my dashi. It adds "natural msg" and ups the flavor of the broth.
