There is only one way to lose fat. That is to burn more calories than you take in (eat). Here's what I recommend. First, figure out your Basal Metabolic Rate. This is a number that represents the calories your body burns in running its life-supporting processes: breathing, heartbeat, brain...

I agree. I roast the chicken to completion, that is, as if I were going to serve it right then. Then it goes into the stockpot. Be sure you add in all the goo from the roasting pan. Further to your question, before I put the chicken in the stockpot, I remove the breasts altogether. They...

You could collaborate with Elf and call it 'Bacon and Beyond'. :lol: Cats

Kyles, that is great! You must be feeling the difference by now. Congratulations! Cats

WHOA! You blew me right outta my chair with that one. (You are too funny, Jkath.) Thanks very much! I hope others post here again . . . Cats

Lost two pounds this week, for a total of 19 pounds lost. Next week: Twenty Pound Club! :smile: How's everybody else doing? Are we still posting our weeklies here? Cats

Lost a pound this week, for a total of 17 pounds. This is a milestone -- I'm in the 150s! No more 170s, no more 160s! Yip-de-doo! :lol: How'd everybody else do? Cats

WOOHOO, Mudbug and Jkath -- that's great news! Especially about going down a clothing size, hey? That's the BIG reward, IMO. :smile: I too have good news to report, finally. I've kicked out of my stall and lost three pounds! Total loss: 16 pounds. Now we're getting somewhere. If next...

Rainee, you can be on your successful weight-loss regimen and still make these fabulous desserts??? Baby, you're tougher than the Marines. Isn't it interesting how you can say vanilla pudding, chocolate pudding, butterscotch pudding, bread pudding, but you can never, ever say banana pudding...

Kyles, that is fabulous, big congratulations. And lotsa attaboys to you others who are doing so well, especially Jkath and her BF reduction. This week was a disaster for me -- sick, bedrest, no exercise, a day of cheating, bleah. I didn't weigh in. Starting back up today. I just kept...

When it comes to cooking, my reach has ever exceeded my grasp. Like, hey, if I can roast a chicken I can do anything! The disasters this wild-child enthusiasm have engendered are too numerous to remember, far less talk about. Years of living have tempered my inclination to fly off the planet...

Oh no! My eyes! My EYES! :mrgreen: Cats PS. Bucky, I really like your latest siggy lyrics.

Oh, Jkath, you always know the exact right thing to say. :) Besides, I forgot; last Saturday I had a "planned" cheat that morphed into a meltdown. Got right back on plan on Sunday, but still . . . without that, I probably would've lost more. Guess I'm lucky to have lost at all, LOL. Cats

Lost one pound. Total lost: 13 pounds. But it's going too slowly. I'm working too hard to lose one crummy pound every two weeks. :evil: Cats

Before I began low carbing, I had a Saturday morning ritual. I'd go to the store and buy a paper and a Texas cinnamon bun and a pint of icy-cold chocolate milk to have while I read the paper. I sure miss that. :cry: And of course, I'm still jonesing for Peanut M&Ms. Cats...

Yeah! I'll bet that's it! :lol: Thanks for the good thought, Jkath. Cats

Yep, way to go, Rainee! I stayed the same this week. Don't know why, I'm doing everything right. Exercised all five days, didn't cheat. Oh well, guess I'll keep on plugging. I feel slimmer, anyway. Bummer, though. :-( Cats

Whyever not??? Andy, a bunch of us are running a weight-loss challenge thread in the Healthy Eating forum. We each have as our signature a ticker image that shows weekly progress. It's a useful device, and fun besides. I'd hate for us to have to do without it. Please restore the...

Freezer jam sounds wonderful, also a good way to ease into the canning thing. I'd like to learn how to make really good pickles, especially the half-done spears that you find in Jewish-style delicatessens. I have botulism issues. :shock: Cats

Only lost one pound this week. Don't know why, maybe 'cuz I missed my Wednesday exercise session. And I want, no I need no I GOTTA HAVE SOME PEANUT M&Ms!!!! :evil: And, a friendly reminder: This thread is for only for weekly weigh-in stats. Any other diet chat oughtta go into its own...

Canning! Also, I've sort of mastered the fundamentals of breadmaking, but I'd like to improve my skills to the point that I can trust the loaves/rolls/biscuits have come out well, without having to cut into one and eat it to make sure before serving them. And I would love to master the trick...

1. Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue. 2. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. 3. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. 4. Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be...
