I have made salmon patties while on IP. Used the salmon in the foil packet, added an egg white and finely chopped red bell pepper. "Fried" in a non-stick pan using a little Pam til has a bit of a brown crust on the outside. It was delish!

I hadn't thought of the foil packets! That would be the perfect amount for one person. I think I would also add some celery. Thanks for the idea!

That sounds really good! My mom is coming next week for a two week visit :dizzy:, and she loves salmon patties. I think I will ask her to make them for us.

Today my DH and I went to Costco for some food. I should know better than to take my husband with me when he's hungry. 200.00 later our fridge is full. The nice thing is he is so into eating healthy these days, that it's easy to shop with him as he won't bring home any junk.

Living well and being nice really do pay off! I am so happy for you Wuv, what a great feeling! Have fun at the reunion.

LOL,priceless! WTG Wuv!

Yeah Wuv!!!

Absolutely PRICELESS!!! :carrot:

Happy Sunday all! It's suppose to be really nice here today. We might even reach 70!! I hope everyone had a flow weekend so far! I was super busy heaters had to work. Then had to rush to a Derby event that was an hour away!! And didn't get done with that till about 11. Then had an hour and half drive home... Cops were definitely out in full force last night!!

Great job Wuv!

I'm getting ready mentally for my surgery tomorrow. Unfortunately, I also have two classes that start, in addition to the one I'm already doing, in the morning. I think it may be a crazy week!

Today is the last day of doing just restricteds. It is also the last day of the arts & craft show we are at. I had to laugh as we packed up at the hotel this morning -DH said "you haven't had any shakes this weekend". Anywhoo, i won't know what, if anything, happened until the morning. My plan now is no restricted for at least a few days - not sure if I will do actual bootcamp or not.

In order to see movement, I hope I don't have to pick up a cat, weigh myself, then put the cat down and weigh again to see movement. :D

Living well is the BEST!!! You go girl!!!!

Good morning,

Wuv - What a great feeling you must've had :)

So one day of only restricted under my belt and i'm UP a pound this morning, i sure hope that's not a sign that i'm hyper sensitive to carbs. I'm still going to do at least 3 days of only restricted and then see if i'll do 5 days or boot camp rest of the week.

Have a great day!

My youngest daughter made her first communion yesterday. For the first time in years, I actually felt comfortable posing for a picture! I'll post one tomorrow after the kids head off to school. It's hard to find time for posting when they're home. :)

Good luck with the surgery tomorrow and here's to quick healing.:hug:

I normally just lurk on here, I don't feel right talking about my weight, I feel like the rich kid complaining about there being no caviar or something! LOL

I was reading the daily thread before, but then found the 100% thread. I am happy to say I have been 100% OP since I started two weeks ago!

I am happy with my 2WI numbers, I just have a question about the inches. I lost .5" on my thigh and that was it. Where did the 4lbs that I lost come from? Shouldn't your inches and pounds correspond with each other to some degree?

I also wanted opinions on the dinner I made for my family and I last night, I am worried I might have messed myself up.
I made shepherds pie and I forgot to take the fat out of the pan after cooking the burger! I normally wouldn't freak out about such a thing, but the beef was home grown. The butcher said he didn't have to add any fat into the burger because she had so much fat integrated into her muscle! (she was our breeder cow that stopped breeding)
I couldn't finish eating my whole serving because it just felt so greasy to me. Have you ever heard the saying 'i need to eat some fruit after that meal'? That is what I felt like for a couple of hours afterwards, sick, I barely choked down my nighttime snack.

So did I mess up there or not?

Thanks! You are all helpful with being open about your lives.
