Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

On Micro-vacay with the girls…they got the late night munchies and ordered Uber-Eats subs, and i was all, um…no thanks. So i went across the street to get this salad.

Surprisingly delicious considering i dropped the dressing packet somewhere on my way back. I may just eat dry salads from now on!

The nutritional label said it was 350 calories for the container, but MFP didn’t recognize it when i tried to scan the bar code, so i just guessed the amounts to get as close the 350 as a could. Ta-da!

The leftovers are still in the mini-bar (frozen, cuz I accidentally put it in the freezer section), and am probably gonna toss it.

No, I wish! I looked at some low carb recipes but didnt feel like it so I used cut da carb flatbread and air fried it to make it crispy.

I can't wait to be able to make some Cut da Carb recipes. 3 weeks out today. [emoji3590]

It does look big doesn’t it? Its actually probably about only 2” in diameter….i guess i have itty bitty hands lol.

Here’s another one i ate about an hour ago. I had to share it with Mr cuz he was all “you’re going to get sick…you haven’t eaten yet”…ah, he knows me well.

Anyway, this one was “Vietnamese Coffee” flavoured. 6/10. But sooooooooooo cute!!!

I only eat pasta when Mr makes it, so since today he made spaghetti with pasta from a bag, i paired his meat sauce with 1/2 a bagel instead.

247 calories, had I eaten everything…which i did not, as the pairing was not as delicious as i thought it would be…tossed the rest cuz no one in the fam was interested in the leftovers.

My work meals the last couple of days- I did end up swapping out the tuna and had the carrots for a protein bar and on the one with a smoothie I added pretzels and a protein bar. The sandwich bags have cranberry pecan granola and roasted chick peas in them. The little white lidded container is garden vegetable cream cheese.

Sorry @Starwarsandcupcakes another dining out pxt but I’ll only post one cause it had truffles. Yes, truffles. Not on the menu, just a special treat addition from the chef. Funny thing was I got truffles, my friend got truffles but her husband who also ordered the same dish didn’t. Never hurts to flirt a little with the wait staff ???. I ate half so I have more lamb & truffles for dinner tonight.

That looks more like truffle with lamb vs. lamb w/ truffle! #yum

The bagel extravaganza continues…this time with eggs and brie.

Mr. ate my leftovers, so logged 222 calories for what i ate.

Sous vide filet mignon and air-fried asparagus. Sous vide is the way to go for steak! Perfect medium-rare all the way through, and just pan-seared the outside. Not pictured: chimichurri sauce (but the steak was so good, it didn't even need any sauce).

Nutrition information for filet mignon is all over the place. I'm seeing anything from 170 to 300+ calories for a 4-ounce filet mignon in MFP.

??Happy Fourth of July holiday weekend to our USA members! And, those across borders... do celebrate along with us with something really yummy! We are celebrating with Chicago styled hotdogs along with hubbies strawberry rhubarb pie. Threw in a healthy salad for good measure!

We got a holiday long weekend up here ourselves! (Canada Day is July 1st)

Having a tomato feta salad (with almonds and balsamic glaze) out back in the gorgeous sunny day sunny day ?

Your beautiful, yummy bagel creations really give me hope that this will be doable long term. I can't wait to get to that phase.

It’s totally doable!

Good Luck! ❤️

Confession: i love going to over-priced gourmet grocery stores and buying fancy stuff to try (or just look at, lol)

A sample of this morning’s haul: fancy crackers and a couple teaspoons of this foie gras and pork terrine/spread. Its like dessert and a meal in one.

218 calories. Ate it all.

Im also hopped up on 2 iced americanos i drank while people watching on a patio. Had them black so i didn’t bother logging them.
