I will have to look into it. I was interested a while back but the small chamber size turned me away , I have teens and I would have to make batches and batches, so I took a hard pass. But I'm not in willing if the right one came around.




thanks!!!


I have the big Ninja two drawer air fryer. We are a family of four. Kids are two big over 6 foot boys who eat a lot. It works for us.

I’m 2021 I was gifted an airfryer and it totally changed my mind. I barely cook any other way for myself. For larger family meals I still use the stove/oven. I can’t believe I waited for so long to join the airfryer club 🥺

Prepped a batch of Bulgogi (korean marinated beef strips) and froze batches of it a month ago...finally got around to defrosting one of the ziplocks and cooking it. OMG so yum, if i say so myself!

Portioned our about a cup of the cooked bulgogi and a 1/4 cup of cooked white rice (cuz u can't have bulgogi without rice!).

378 calories for the bowl, ate about 2/3 (maybe 3/4?) of it all. not sharing my leftovers with mr. as im keeping it for later cuz its so yum.

p.s. the onions were not part of the frozen ziplock contents...i sliced and sautéed them separately 😉

lunchtime!

about a cup of one of those pre-made costco bagged salads, some cheese and about 1/2 cup of cut mango.

284 calories for the bowl.

Ate all the mango and about 1/4 the salad (the dressing was little too sweet for me...this is why i prefer to make my own dessing/vinaigrette!!) and like one bite of cheese cube (tasted weird with the salad, so pushed it off to the side)

...the Kid ate my leftovers.

Hi all! Wrong forum for a comeback. But I frequented this topic and ootd were my most active.

I’ve been MIA since COVID and it made me gain 40 pounds. 😔. So I’m back for moral support and to get back in the game. I hope all has been doing well. I see a lot of familiar old friends on here.

I have a Cozumel and Belize trip coming up and gotta get back into the game.

My dinner was some pork Thai sweet chili rice bowl, no pic though. But being realistic.

A kid cooked !!! 😳 Turkey burgers and fries. This burger was massive maybe 6-7 oz so I only was able to eat half but I’ll eat the rest later. I’m overestimating 500 cals for what I ate and 750 cals for the meal

You got one of your children to cook? Well done. Mothers everywhere are envious. Obviously not your vegan child though or are they off the wagon again?

That’s the thing I sometimes dream of - a burger. Well specifically an Australia steak burger on a crunchy crust roll, lettuce, Tomato, cucumber, beetroot, onions optional & BBQ Sauce. Mmmm. Drooling.

Parfait: vanilla greek yogurt, blueberries, chia seeds and honey

I have chia in my freezer. How do you think taking it dry will affect my stomach at 8 weeks post since it expands to 10xs its weight in liquid? I used to take 2T daily. Dry.

I'm thinking I should soak it first.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
