Completely agree ! Lots of advantages ! I buy a lot (most) of my meat on sale or in the 'bargain bin' . Will cook a whole oven full and bag it up . Usually just a heat and eat situation unless I want to add to it .
My son lived with me for 6 months last year while he remolded a home he had bought . I use the Foodsaver so often he called it...my hobbie .
No turning back , No turning back !
This was lunch ! But I forgot to include the black pepper shaker .

Great source for Food Saver bags and rolls https://foodvacbags.com/ I prefer the premade bags just to cut down on how long I stand in one spot(kills my thoracic spine area)and these guys have the best price.
Just had supper . Half a chicken breast with salsa and plenty of turnips . I added in an apple that I'll have in an hour or so . Total calorie intake for today 830 calories . Had plenty to eat and liked everything . Hope all of you rest well tonight !

"Had plenty to eat and liked everything" - that's the key - rediscovering true satisfaction rather than stuffing myself.

THE WEIGH IN !
Well again stumbled in to the coffee pot and got that cranked up . Fed my poor staving dogs and went to the bathroom where the scales are . I weigh every morning wearing a T shirt , shorts and socks . So ! There is no variable in loss (or gain) due to what I'm wearing .
My daughter used to cheat when she was trying to lose weight . She would do her first weigh in fully clothed . Then when she had 'cheated on her diet she would shed a few items of clothing to weigh . LOL , it's not much of a way to cheat though because you run out of clothes/shoes to take off . Plus your lying to even yourself . It's counterproductive .
Weigh in this morning was not quite as big , weighed 213 . Still a dang good loss at 2 pounds but still mainly fluid . Haven't decided what's for breakfast , probably just fruit . I don't ever eat much in the morning...never have . But with the 'medical' hindrances I have I'm trying to eat three times a day since I'm trying to do less than a thousand calories a day right now . That will change shortly though , not good for me to push it to the limit .

Hi,
Be happy to. Rather than hijack Boaz's thread, I posted the recipe here:
Spicy Pickled Eggs

Well I decided what was for breakfast ! 90 calories
Just for conversation this is the back of my suv right now .
It's what I take fishing . It has occurred to me that it's more or less crazy to take this much junk for a 4 hour fishing trip . Being overly compulsive and not very smart I tend to 'complicate' a lot of things applying to much preparedness in the game plan . Maybe it's because I was a Boy Scout ? lol , remember....be prepared ! I need to condense this stuff down to a more manageable situation . Many times it takes 3 loads to get it into the river . The Harbor Freight folding chair in the picture already has pockets on the sides so it will be the main focus .
I'll be back later !

OK ! Here we go ! This is my old Harbor Freight chair , bought 2 of em long ago when they were on sale for $12.00 apiece . Dang nice fishing chair . The misc black pieces laying on it is an 'arm immobilizer I had to wear after having a shoulder replaced last January . It went around your waist and has a shoulder strap . I took it apart , it's mostly velcroed together . I intend to incorporate it to make a shoulder strap to carry the chair and another bigger pocket on the side . This is a view of the left side of the chair with existing pockets .
Heck . I need to make a Walmart run ! If you have any ideas I'm pretty open minded . Thanks !

One more piece of advice - never eat carbohydrates without also some protein. This tells your body to use the energy and not store it as fat, believe it or not. A couple spoonfuls of cottage cheese in that cantaloupe would do it.

Going for an easy lunch today . Heat and eat . Normally I don't eat a lot of canned stuff...too much salt . This soup ain't bad if you put about a tablespoon of Tabasco it it .
No turning back , No turning back !
The day is winding down . Stayed fairly busy ...it was a nice day , got up to about 80 degrees . Made a pot of collard greens , just greens and seasoning . Wish there was some smoked pork in em but they are still good just 'seasoned up' ;
Suppertime ! Having the other half chicken breast with spicy brown mustard from yesterday and a big bowl of collards ;
Will have a couple of small nectarines later . Total calories for today...598 . Got sidetracked from the 'fishing chair' but there's tomorrow...I hope !
No turning back , No turning back !
Weigh in !......OOP's !
Well after 3 days of pretty big weight loss I broke even this morning . Weighed in at the same as yesterday...213 pounds . Not totally unexpected for me , though I ate sparingly the 'water' retention is a wild card variable . But we are down to the actual 'fat' of the matter now . This ain't my first rodeo in weight loss . From now on I won't be having those deceiving big losses due to fluid retention . But on the bright side my pants are fitting better ! lol
No turning back , No turning back !
Well I worked on the 'fishing chair' for about 30 min and here's the prototype . Every thing I added was made out of the the old arm demoblizer . All Velcroed with dang good medical grade velcro ! lol, it's full loaded in the picture . The shoulder strap worked really good . I weighed it with my fish scales and it hefted out at 18.3 pounds . I'm sure I'll 'improve' it after actually using it ....Maybe tomorrow ? Depends on the wind .
Heck ! Lets make some pickled beets . lol , now from past reading here I know there are a lot of beet haters but have patience with me . Always remember that I'm not too smart , dumb people do dumb things ?
I put a little white (or apple) vinegar in a seal able container , add two tp of Equal 0 calorie sugar substitute and stir it up . Of coarse you can use real sugar if you want . Add one can of whole or slices beets . Finish filling with vinegar till beets are covered . Sit it in the fridge and they are ready tomorrow . Today we are recycling a cottage cheese container , I save em because they are handy for different things .
