Nicolle, thanks so much for adding to this thread! This is awesome to have the perspective of a 3 year vet successfully in maintenance.

I especially appreciate you taking time from your fun evening out to photograph your food. I am completely jealous of your dinner out! It looks absolutely, utterly fantastic. NOM.

Like you, I do not know what the future holds, but I am thrilled with my current lifestyle and results. If, down the road, I have to make some adjustments, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. It is inspiring for me to see folks like you who are 3, 5, even 10 years out and still having amazing success. 

Thanks again!

Oh, our dinner partners thought it was hilarious that I was taking pictures and were actually disappointed for me that I forgot to take the dessert pic before we dove in! The other diners were unfazed. I guess it's not unusual to take pix of food there. Hmmm...must be what heaven looks like.

I never journal what I eat, so this was a useful exercise for me. I CAN see lots of places where I will cut carbs if I face some regain. I weigh myself daily, even this far out, so I will be vigil.

Thanks!

That steak looks freaking amazing.  I'm drooling.  I'm also a diet Coke drinker, so glad to see someone else is as well.

Yeah, they're going to have to wrench my can of Diet Coke from my dead hand before I give it up.

The best Diet Coke to me? McDonald's. They infuse theirs with crack, I think.

I know, and they are all a dollar.  No matter the size!  I think I'm paying someone's salary just by my diet Coke stops.

"Medium well," thank you very much. Nice and juicy pink inside, but cooked nicely on the outside. I really only started eating meat once I got my DS, so I am working my way up the bloody meat scale.

How Tom orders a steak:

Waiter: How would you like your steak prepared?
Tom: Walk it through a hot kitchen.

Those crescent roll egg muffins look awesome.. do you have a recipe?!  Totally time for breakfast, now that I'm drooling over everyone else's photos!

Sure!

Take a muffin pan.
Spray with Pam.
Roll out crescent roll dough into a big rectangle (or buy the ones that are sheets).
Cut the crescent roll into 12 rectangle pieces
Put a small rectangle of crescent dough in the bottom of each muffin cup.
Put a thick layer of cheese (any you like--I use a bagged, shredded mixture) on the crescent roll.
Put crumbled, cooked bacon (as much as you like) into each cup, on top of cheese.
Put six eggs and some milk in a bowl with salt and pepper, all to taste.
Pour egg mixture on top of cheese and bacon.
Put extra cheese on the top of each muffin.
Bake for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees.

Enjoy!
