Looks delicious 

I'm going to try this Looks great. 

Very nice 

Great recipe! I may have to try this. My family wouldn't want any part of it, but it may be a good work lunch for the cold days ahead. 

Hey Sydvicious. Contacting you because you said you're losing by counting calories. I'm doing the same and generally eat 1200-1400 a day lately. Have only lost .2 pounds in 9 days and wanted your input, suggestions, etc. I did have a cheat day but my calories still only averaged 12-1350 for the week even with that day. My clothes are definitely fitting looser and I and others see the difference but you know how we need the scale! Any thoughts, wisdom, guidance to share? 

kmking40 2 pounds in nine days is a lot... when you first lose weight, it's normal to lose ten or twenty pounds in the first month, but after that you should only be losing about a pound a week. to me, unless you're already very small, 1200 calories is actually far too low. I just had a breathing test at my nutritionist today and found that at rest I currently burn 2370 calories a day. I'm on a 1800-2000 calorie a day average diet. what you need is PATIENCE. you're not going to or supposed to drop five pants sizes in a month. my personal recommendation is eat a little more (unless you're a small person) and be patient. give it six months of consistency and you'll be happy and maybe surprised with the results... 

kmking40 I just looked and saw that you're 262 lbs... my high weight was 246, and I started with a 2100 calorie per day diet and lost like a pound to a pound and a half per week very consistently. again, don't restrict yourself too much, and be patient! 

Thanks! I appreciate your response. I will chill/relax/be patient and maintain the proper perspective.  

Your food always look good. 

Yummy!! So glad you shared. You've got a lot of support here I see. Just keep that focus you already have!
