Happy weekend everyone! I see I have quite a number of fellow Washingtonians on this board!
I have a question about the cauliflower mash. How do you make it not turn out lumpy? Is there a certain amount of liquid that must be added or a special type of blender? Thanks in advance for any input.
Same instructions as the last person gave, only I don't usually put my protein in it. I will sometimes add a tablespoon of olive or grapeseed oil for a very velvety texture. Not needed if you've gotten your daily oil elsewhere.
Have decided that I am going to set my goal weight to whatever my weight is next weigh in next Thursday. Originally thought that I wanted it to be 140 but the changed to 135. Have come to the realization that where I am is good! Know that everyone is different, I need to learn to be happy at a place that I can learn to stay at.
Have a wonderful day! The sun is shining in Massachusetts today!!
Morning everyone! In Philly for a baseball tournament for my son. I know the family will want to hit Claymont steak shop on the way home... Should be very interesting to say the least. First time I won't be getting a cheesesteak but I feel so much better. Maybe I will try their steak salad!

I think that is a great way to set your goal! It's not about the number on the scale, it's about how you feel.

Good morning, all! It's my Monday, so back to work for me! I found two flavors that I love of syntrax,so I'm bringing those along for the day. Double stuffed cookie and chocolate truffle. I hope you all have a beautiful day!
Good morning all ! Had a rough day yesterday with travelling on the road. Took my veg's and pack with me but boy was I starving . Had to stop and get a salad with /chicken because I just felt sick to my stomach . Feeling much hungrier lately. Is this normal ?

Very much so. I had a few bouts with hunger along the way, in the middle of my weight loss and definitely toward the end. I think it's just a sign of the body adjusting along the way. Water, Lettuce, egg whites, an occasional hard boiled egg...and sometimes just some good old fashioned grit and perseverance got me through.

I agree. It is nice when I feel satisfied, but sometimes, I don't....and I have to deal with it in different ways than I am used to. Frustrating? Yes, but this too shall pass, it always does
Tea: I bought some fresh ginger root and lemons.
Peeled and chopped some ginger, put it in my teapot, scrubbed a lemon, quartered it, squeezed the juice in & then tossed in the quarters. Steeped in hot water. I put leftovers in a bottle to drink cold.
I'm drinking more of the tea today. Kind of pushed it the last day or so with visiting family and I'm not feeling real hot.
For just the chicken stock, I make chicken bone broth. That should be pretty easy to google. Bone broth is well known for health benefits.
Spiritman, Happy Birthday! And I truly love your birthday present of hitting that goal!
I've been on the diet for 14 weeks, and just today hit 56 pounds lost. LEMON WATER seems to accelerate my losses. Discovered that recently. Dont know if it's the electrolites from the lemon or if its because the lemon is helping to flush the liver. Irregardless, it's definitely making a difference so I'll continue.
Lisa, the ginger root and lemon tea sounds awesome! thx for the tip .
I hope you feel better before the day is out.
and your consistent weight loss and conviction continues to inspire me. Thx!
So, I was going through some of the IP coaching videos and came across one where they were suggesting the Nuun tablets for electrolytes. Can I really have this? I'm in love with the tropical flavor and this would really be super fantastic if I could drink this daily!! Any thoughts?
