October 27, 201411 yr Author Yup, 12 pounds in one week! I haven't been starving myself either (there are pictures to prove it, lol). I have just made healthier choices all week and exercised every day.
October 27, 201411 yr Author Wow that's amazing! I didn't think it was possible to lose that amount that quickly, unless you were doing something extreme or a wacko diet - which clearly your not doing with all the pictures in this thread! Well done Leanna - you should market your diet and exercise programme! Thanks Wendy! I'm a big girl though, so 12 pounds is nothing compared to the losses on The Biggest Loser. :P Although, I don't think losing 24-30 pounds in a week is healthy at all. I think they work out 8 hours a day. I just made some diet adjustments and have been working my butt off for at least an hour every night. Seems to be working, so no crazy diets for me! Thanks Chrispy! Here's what I'm having for dinner tonight. Never made this before, so I have no idea how well it will turn out. Fingers crossed. I'm making chicken chili:
October 27, 201411 yr Leanna, congrats on 12 pounds! That is fantastic! Your chicken chili looks good. Hope it tastes as good as it looks!
October 28, 201411 yr Author Leanna, congrats on 12 pounds! That is fantastic! Your chicken chili looks good. Hope it tastes as good as it looks! Thanks Fay! The chicken chili turned into more of a stew because I didn't add a thickening agent, but it was still good. :) Here's dinner tonight. The chicken "chili" and slow cooker poached pears for dessert:

October 28, 201411 yr I don't want to take away from the healthy food here - it looks amazing but I am having my Chicken Parm leftovers- I forgot to snap a pic last night.
October 28, 201411 yr Author Damn Humbled, I love chicken parm. Must... resist. Here's dinner tonight. Another new recipe, so I have no idea how it will turn out. Squash, pork chops, beer, onions, garlic, salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of maple syrup:
October 28, 201411 yr You had me at Pork chops and Beer -looks good - I might have to have that myself.
October 28, 201411 yr Author It's got 4.8 out of 5 stars and really good reviews, so here's to hoping! http://www.bigoven.com/recipe/pauls-pork-chops-and-butternut-squash-for-the-crockpot/187483

October 28, 201411 yr Author Thanks Sandy! I know this just looks like a pile of mush, but it still tasted good. :) I made some couscous as well:
October 29, 201411 yr Author Really not feeling motivated to cook today, so leftover squash and pork with a salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, red bell peppers, mushrooms, and balsamic vinegar:

October 29, 201411 yr For some reason, I have been "off" cooking for the last month or so but I think I'm getting in the mood again. So tonight we're having a chicken and chorizo paella. I've made it before but I decided to try a new recipe from Michael Symons. Wish me luck!
