Holy Crap! Talk about old school. I remember quite a few on that tree, including myself. Does anyone know how long ago it was that Joanna stopped posting? I do miss her. And Mike, who was it you called Doll Face? Is she still around?

That was Terry (taubele) you probably recognize a lot of people from here >

Wish I could tell you, Libby. I'm so NOT a cook. When I DO make an attempt, I just wing it, based on fleeting bits of info from TV or web browsing. Throw together stuff that sounds like it might work and hope for the best. Results? Usually somewhat edible. Haha.

quick update. The scale is still being stupid, BUT STILL MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 205.4#. That's down 5.2# in 36 hours. I'm going to keep plugging away!

I WANT your scale, Mike. Keep up the good works!

Sounds quite delicious, Lisa!

As for me, the soup was FAN.TAS.TIC. In addition, I was very pleased to discover that it is very filling. I'm usually very critical of my "cooking" but I must say I nailed it with this one. And I'm proud to say that, after indulging, I did the right thing. Researched all the nutrition bits, properly logged it, divvied the pot up into 8-oz portions and promptly froze most of them.

By the way, an 8-oz serving came out to 225 calories, ~2g of fat and ~368mg sodium. The bulk of calories came from the beans and, not surprisingly, the bulk of the sodium came from the ham. Nice note: there's so much content in the soup that the fat content is diluted. Overall, I'm quite pleased.

epi, nice to hear the soup was a success.

So Terry is no longer active? And I think jjrudd was Joanna. I'll have to shoot a message and see how she is.

The quinoa recipe was a hit. DH said he would rather have it than spagetti.
Winner. My total calories for the day were under 800 if I don't do any snacking tonight. I am going to look for some more recipes on line.

I've never cooked quinoa, what does it taste like? I'm glad DH liked it too. I'm at just over 1100 calories for the day, supper was super low cal and super good. Looks like we've both had successes tonight!

I miss Mern too. I sent her a message, I haven't heard back. I hope she has her email notifications turned on, if not, she may have no clue about it.

I think there has been a glitch with email notifications. Mine is turned on, but for months, I haven't received an email notification when I get a private message. Then yesterday, after months of not getting notifications, I got a notification! Strange? Today, was back to the same....no notification even though I got a PM. So even if she has her notifications turned on, she may not be getting a email.

I've sent Terri a few messages over the past year and haven't heard back from her. jjrudd is Jenn, not Joanna.

Libby, so glad to hear the quinoa was a success for both of you! Such a great feeling when all are happy!

I blew it today big time. I don't know how my transgressions are going to show on the scale for tomorrow's weigh-in. I'm just hoping for the best. I was seriously craving sugar, and man did I ever indulge. donuts in the afternoon and french toast for dinner. yikes! :eek: Good thing is I got that craving out of my system. I should be good for a while now. lol

Tomorrow I'll be on the straight and narrow.
