It's been a week for me too. I have been weighing everyday. I think I will start to cut back to every few days. So you haven't weighed once? I would like to wait and be surprised but I don't have the willpower.

I weigh in almost every day except weekends usually, lol. Helps me stay on track.

I worry about what all is in those premade spice mixes. I'm pretty picky about them, and am slowly eliminating them from the cabinet. I've started mixing my own curry powder and it's yummy. Can anybody point to some good recipes to replace pkts and premixed spices? I use chili pkts, taco pkts and hidden valley ranch pkts.

I've been off the radar for a couple days, but am totally on plan. In spite of offers by diet saboteurs. Devils. and one of them my BFF... Why BFF's have to be like that.... My job's still "a job." I've been pleased by the support people have given me at work over being beaten out on the job I'm currently doing (long story). I think it's just a case of politics winning. In the mean time I have the privilege of continuing to do it until she can start on it, and then to teach her how. Seriously. And it's thought unethical to rub a dogs nose in it....

Stress is better though. I've realized the job I go back to is less stressful, easier, and with clearer rules. I'll have time to work on me and work on things to improve my resume. This could work out to my benefit.

Hi all,

I tried Atkins for a while. I did lose some weight but didn't keep it off. Been doing the Buff Chef diet for about 6 months and have lost #50. The key for me is to be able to prepare my meals at home. Take my own lunches to ork. If you havent tried it yet you should give it a shot!!

Spam??

I love curry. What do you put in yours?

This is the Taco spice I use:
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

If you like it saucy you can add some tomato paste after the beef is cooked.

OK, curry powder - I don't recall where I got the recipe, but I changed it some.

8 Tbs Cumin
7 Tbs Coriander
2 Tbs Ground Ginger
4 Tbs Tumeric
1 Tbs Cayenne
1 Tbs Garlic Powder
2 Tbs Sea Salt

I mix er up in a jar - fits in a big peanut butter jar. Use about 2 Tbs mix for a skillet of curry stew.

Hi Laura, congratulations on your weight loss! Question: Are Buff Chef and Chef Buff the same person? I'm curious about your diet plan. I googled Buff Chef, found some results, but nothing that really gave me the guidelines for his diet, but I also found Chef Buff results. ????

Would you please outline the diet/eating plan/guidelines for your Buff Chef plan or give me a link? I'm always up for more information.

Thanks so much!
