Good morning, where are all the 2010-2011 peeps lately? I was never the biggest fish fan before IP but now I have really come to like Mahi Mahi. Last night I had baked Mahi Mahi with oven roasted asparagus and mushrooms. It was so good I wanted to cook the same thing for supper tonight!
Stay warm everyone and stay strong.

Finally had a breakthrough and lost 3 lbs this week. So hard to keep going when you don't see a lot of movement on the scale. I depended on the inches I can tell I'm losing and it finally paid off this week. Dropped into the next 10 lbs
BTW, it was -20 below this morning with -48 wind chill and all the kids are still in school and everyone is at work! Nothing shuts down in Montana, but I sure am longing for spring and can't wait to take a walk outside

Congrats!!!! You are so right about the scale, I wish I could throw mine away and just depend upon the inches. It is nice to see that number go lower and lower. Stay warm!

I was around in Spring of 2011! I lost about 45 lbs, was half way to goal, and never cheated. I went out of town and went off program started working a second job and started school again. I maintained for a while and then gained it all back and plus some! I've started and stopped the program a few times since, but never staying on more than a few weeks. I have a really hard time staying away from dairy (cheese and sour cream) and nuts now. I started again last night and I'm doing it this time for good. I think of all the time that has passed and I don't want another 3 years to go by the same way. I work nights now, so that is a challenge I didn't face before. I'm hoping I will stick with it and make it a priority. It's nice to see some familiar names, even though I wasn't a very active poster, I did read every day.

Hi TatiN & Lorett!
I also lost in 2011 and have gained it all back. I rebooted in January, my losses are slow, but I will take them. I have bloodwork in April and I think my thyroid med may need a bump. Losing slower is better for sagging skin, at least that is what I am telling myself, so that I won't get discouraged. lol
I try to read at least daily or every other day, so I am here

Hi friends!
Glad to see a few more people posting on this thread. Welcome back!
I am really loving eggplant dip on my roasted chicken these days. Also, after I roast my chickens (I always cook 3), I pick them clean, throw them in the pot overnight with water with celery and parsley and onion and juice of half a lemon. Next day, I chill the broth and skim the fat. Then I make a soup with jalapenos, green chilis, and kale. Oh my, it is the best soup!!!!
What are you enjoying lately?

Sure, Molly!
I just throw a whole eggplant on a cookie sheet, plop it in the oven and cook at 350 degrees. Maybe 400 if I am feeling rushed. I am so sorry I don't have exact minutes, but as you can see, I am rather a slipshod cook! I cook it long enough that the whole thing is rather collapsed looking. Then I take it out and peel off the skin. Sometimes I am smart enough to use a fork so I don't burn my fingers. Then I put the insides in my magic bullet with a splash of olive oil, a clove of garlic and tons of salt. Your IP conscience may let you put in a teaspoon of tahini, but I am out right now and it is expensive. I also squeeze about a quarter of a lemon into the mix. Then blend It is so delicious! I am sure it's also great with cumin or curry or a variety of spices. I think it's best chilled. Kind of hits the guacamole spot for me. Or gravy. Depends on how I spice it.

Thank you for the recipe. I remember reading this somewhere last week so I bought an aubergine this weekend. Eggplant is an aubergine, am I right? I'm going to try this dip later. Yum. It's day 2 for me. i was around on the boards briefly two years ago. trying IP again.

Occasionally, since eggplant is an occasional veg.
