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

Can you please let me know where can I get the pretty chart with weight loss information under your message? I saw it around this forum and would like to create one for myself. Thank you!

It’s a ticker! I can’t remember which site I used to create it but there are many.

I’ve just decided today that my kids are lame-o’s when it comes to food and going places. We went for Mexican for dinner and y’all, the amount of “I don’t like this. Can we go home?” ??

I need lunch date people. Or maybe I should try dating. ?

Absolutely!

I made General Tso Tofu during meal prep (for someone else). Instead of dredging and frying (favorite version) I simply pressed and pan seared.

Vegan calzones with diced onion, baby bellas, and green bell peppers mixed with chopped up vegan breakfast sausage and marinara in homemade dough. It made 8. I’m eating 1, meal prepping 2 for lunches this week, and freezing the rest.

I wish there was a drool emoji. I would use it all the time on this thread

My version of a healthy chicken parmesan. Boneless skinless chicken breast, pounded thin coated in shake -N- bake then topped with a slice of provalone cheese. A side of spaghetti squash with sauce. It was SO delish!

264 calories and 27g protein!

I ate about half of the squash and all of the chicken but no after pic.

Roasted veggie salad and chicken leg for dinner last night.

Ice cream: kid cup of lavender honey and lemon poppyseed. As usual too sweet for me so I didn’t finish it.

Japanese restaurant. Ordered miso ramen with tonkotsu. It came with a whopping 5 slices of grilled pork, egg and more. I ate one slice of the pork, a little of the noodles and then just drank some of the broth. Took it home and enjoyed it later (little by little lol). Unfortunately, on the way home I still got the foamies. First time in months. Didn't last long but it was extremely uncomfortable.

omg that pork belly looks sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.

finally got a chance to eat something today (gym, vet appt and grocery shopping kept me occupied until now).

anyway i was "starving" by the time i got home and i seriously wolfed this down:

1/2 a bagel w/ butter, havarti, and a dollop of labneh: 348 calories and ate it all!

That pork belly looks delicious @Tomo but what a huge portion. No wonder you had left overs. (Left overs are the bomb!)

I wonder if it as the fat on the pork that caused the foamies for you? It does for me sometimes. I accidentally ate a chunk of fat on a beef cheek at a gala lunch. The function room was so dark I didn’t see it & there was enough meat in my bite to disguise it until it was too late. It was stuck for hours. Very unpleasant.

I love leftovers too . Sometimes freezing it in 4 oz portions to enjoy it when I crave for a specific food. I have readb in your posts that you do that too. Yay lol.

True! Maybe it was the fat. Thank you for pointing that out. I wondered why I got the foamies over one slice. The meat I prepare at home usually isn't usually that fatty. Restaurants don't care about calories lol. The broth was incredibly rich too. It didn't take too long after I ate the slice when I started feeling uncomfortable. Something to keep in mind next time I eat out in public.

Dinner last night. I just couldn’t be bothered with anything else. 260 calories for the chips and about 45 for the salsa.
