Oh....oh...oh....that food....must go to store immediately and get some lamb chops. If only I had a motivated primal cook here to prepare my meals...

Actually I like to cook but the idea of having food like that appear before me is intoxicating!

Fitting into jeans is absolutely the best! And it is funny how things move. I started fitting into my Lucky Brands a little while ago even though the scale was the same. I couldn't believe. it.

Even nicer than fitting into new jeans is getting rid of the old!

ooh! I know what you mean! I wish I had a primal cook in my life too... granted the cooking is fun (I love the cooking) but I mean who doesn't wanna get down and primal every once in a while (disclaimer: it's been WAY too long)

[Siobhan]

It's been so long I think I've forgotten what it is.

Woot on the jeans! Turning fat into muscle is always a good thing.

I've been stalled for about a month too (my last drop was only 0.2 pounds, so don't let the date fool you) but I still feel skinnier. I'll take it.

That food looks marvellous.

My 1 year paleoversary was yesterday. I quietly updated my signature but I still have lots of work to go. Starting dodgeball in jan so i hope it helps with this plateau! Either way I'm not giving up

Congratulations! You have accomplished a great thing and inspired others to do the same.

Quitting is not an option!

88 pounds in one year is fantastic! Plateaus are an almost inevitable part of the process. Life just doesn't move in straight lines. Holding the line at a difficult, stressful point in your life was in and of itself an important accomplishment. You'll feel it when your psychological and physical batteries are recharged, and then you'll be off and running again. In the meanwhile, gloat a bit and rejoice in how far you've come.

No fear of you quitting. I know that you really don't want to go back to where you were before.

I have a food photo to share!!

Chili with ground beef, mushrooms, crushed tomatos, garlic, sweet potato, asian eggplant, tomato paste, onions, bacon fat, chili powder and white wine. Served over cauliflower rice with cream and butter all topped with chives.

Hey, and you lost 88 lbs eating THIS! Does it get any better?

Congratulations on your one year, Ecks. It is amazing what you have accomplished.
