So sorry to hear about your
Sister. That is awful. Heart goes out to you and your family.

such a nice day out so sat on the back deck with this teacup of ice cream!
ate it all...hopefully i don't regret eating it...i'll have a verdict one way or yhe other about in 30 mins!!

1st meal of day: leftovers!
white rice, stir-fried tofu and vegetables, and the bone from a 20oz bone-in-ribeye ordered (and not even touched, geez) from dinner at the Keg last night.
mr. ate the rest of it for Breakfast this AM...i told him to save me the bone...i personally liked the fact i ate this at home, cuz at the restaurant i would have had the table manners not to pick it up with my hands and mow down! but at home, i can be as fred flintstone-y as i want!!)
293 calories for the plate contents shown. ate almost all of it...will get to the rest later

out with the gals last night...had margaritas with a side of guacamole and chips for dinner omg. i kept meaning to order a proper entree, but just didn't get around to it so just ate the leftover chips and guac that was on the table...
the margaritas alone were like 800 cals! so warning to those drinking mixed drinks during weight loss phase! keep your calorie counts in mind!

one of my margaritas!

Olive and herb Focaccia made with store bought dough. Everyone loved it and I ate a small area that I deemed was “the crust” 🤣

made a "leftovers" risotto last night! so yum 😋
with leftovers! : roast duck from monday, mushrooms and asparagus from tuesday, and grated the very last of the parm all the way to the rind lol.
302 calories...ate it all eventually!
**edit: ugh! totally forgot to log the arborio rice!! actual calorie count should be 377 calories

Same!! Deviled and fried are the only ones I can tolerate. Scrambled and the smell of scrambled make me want to throw up.
Just post sleeve. Weird huh.

YUM! ** off to make devilled eggs... **

Congrats!!!

Congrats!!!

I love the screen saver too!!

Wow! She is really got talent! So pretty

Looks sooo good!!!

Thank you!!!

Congrats to your Graduate!!! Such and exciting time for them!!

You're beautiful inside and out either way! Congratulations again. 😁

LOL thank you. I just don't want to start any political (or religious, for that matter) debates in here. I know my particular political leanings can be viewed as controversial to some, and I want this to continue to be a safe space without the issues politics can, and usually does, bring. But I like that you liked my views

OMG! I'm so thrilled for you!! I remember this!! You are looking so great in your pics!! AWESOME JOB!!
I noticed your highest weight was 421. My highest was 400. When I joined here, I only entered 390 as that was the weight I was at when I started trying to lose some more 'on my own' as I was going through the insurance process (SO LONG) to get approved for bariatric surgery.
5 years later and I'm wondering if I should have changed my weight to the highest I ever was or if that is confusing to anyone.
Again, I'm just so very happy for you!

Perhaps, but you are entitled to believe what you believe and their getting upset is on them..we all have our own feelings and are entitled to them ..we're all different and should all be willing to let everyone feel the way they do....but I understand - time and place thing!

I hit my final goal!!! I'm actually, literally ugly crying right now. I didn't expect it to happen so fast!!!

@ms.sss
You will love this.

The cake is beautiful!!
I’m not sure on the whole no one eats cake anymore. We however did cupcakes instead of a cake (less having to cut and serve)

wowza, your niece is talented!
this cake here is my fave of the ones you posted!
if i ever convince Mr. to marry me again, i would totally be on board to hire your niece to make our cake!! (but full disclosure, he is NOT on board. arg.)

Poke bowls post workout.
Hubby’s bowl:
White rice, salmon, edamame, cucumber and carrot ribbons, avocado, spring onions. Added later: crushed nori, birds eye chili and a spicy mayo dressing (spicy mayo, ponzu and a little ketchup). I kinda like the before picture better lol.



My sad bowl 😂
At least ate a decent amount.
It’s pretty much the same sans the rice, had one bite of avocado and passed to hubby and barely had any dressing.

This all looks delicious. @GreenTealael your niece is very talented. And isn’t that always the way @Kris77. You put in all the effort to cater & present a most beautiful spread & then you spend all the time rushing about ‘hosting’ that you don’t get to really enjoy any of it.
Congratulations to all the graduates.

This was the dessert at my nieces recent elopment celebration. Was supposed to be a brownie - more a mud cake - with berries and a berry sorbet. You can see my little taste of the cake on the side. Did have a second taste & I had a little of the surgery. Rich but delicious.
