Re: Induction -- Day Twelve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Water and treadmill is going to be my 100% focus the next few weeks. I think I have the food thing down. Just need to sneak in a little more H2O.

Keep up the fight. (wipes tears from face) you gals are like the sisters I never had. lol

Well, after yesteday's whining about being up 2 lbs, I *felt* less bloated this morning, and took a chance and weighed. Back down 1 lb! Still, I need to re-evaulate my goals and make the plunge into aerobic exercise again, now that the weather is warming up.

See you on Monday!

Re: Induction -- Day Twelve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just wondering how many of the regulars in this thread are staying on induction after our 14th day? I believe I am going to make it a full month for myself.

Re: Induction -- Day Twelve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TGIF Everyone
Hope you're all having a wonderful FRIDAY!
I for one, am going to give induction two more weeks. I haven't weighed yet, but I don't "feel" a change in my body most days. Besides that, since I have so much to lose I feel like giving it an extra ZAP!
Should we keep the thread going ~ Induction Day 15, 16 and so on, for those of us that are continuing?
I don't know if I'll be checking in this weekend or not? I don't think so. Look for me Monday night for sure.
You all have a terrific weekend!
I couldn't have gotten this far without you guys! Well I could have, but it wouldn't have been any fun!

Thanks for stopping in!!

It helped having Urbangoddess, Erin and Donky right along the journey with me. Then there were nice people, like you, dropping in to say hi and to encourage us along our way.

Re: Induction -- Day Twelve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Instead of using Biker's pizza recipe, I looked at Linda's and it used half the eggs so I thought I'd try it for a change. I'm going to see if I can paste that recipe here in case you want to look it over too.



DEEP DISH PIZZA
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, 1 ounce (I used the kind in a can)
1/4 teaspoon oregano or Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
8 ounces Italian cheese blend or mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup pizza sauce
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
Assorted toppings: pepperoni, ham, sausage, 4 ounce can mushrooms, green peppers, bacon, ground beef, etc.
Dash of garlic pepper or garlic powder and some Italian seasoning for top of pizza

In a medium bowl, whisk cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Whisk in eggs until mixture is well-blended and smooth. Add the parmesan and seasonings, then stir in the 8 ounces of mozzarella until completely moistened. Spread cheese mixture evenly in a well-greased 9x13" glass baking dish or lightly greased and lined with parchment paper (see note below). Bake at 375º 20-25 minutes or until evenly browned, but not too dark. Let cool completely on a wire rack. When nearly cooled, take a metal spatula and carefully pry up the edges to loosen from pan. Ease the spatula under the whole crust to loosen. Keep crust in the pan. This makes it easier to remove the finished pizza later. Refrigerate, uncovered, until shortly before serving time.

Spread chilled crust with pizza sauce, then cheese and toppings of your choice. Lightly sprinkle with seasonings of your choice. Bake at 375º about 15-20 minutes or until toppings are bubbly. Let stand a few minutes before cutting.

I don't recommend making this in a metal baking pan as it will stick making the pizza very difficult to remove and the pan very hard to clean.

I think I may have discovered the secret to a crispy crust. I left the baked crust uncovered in the refrigerator for several hours. I think that allowed it to dry out a bit so that it became crisp during the second baking with the toppings. I was able to pick the pizza up in my hands.

NOTE: If you lightly grease the pan and line it with parchment paper, you'll have no trouble removing the pizza from the pan later. Greasing the pan makes the parchment stick to it so you can easily spread the crust batter.

Hi Everyone,
I'm here, I'm here!!
My oldest ds had a doctors appointment this morning, so I'm incredibly behind in everything today.
Can you believe how fast this is going by?
We leave tomorrow and I am not prepared food wise! I have so much to do, but that is really one of the most important areas! Can y'all just make me up a checklist real quick? (Joking )
I'm glad you're all here and doing so well! The pizza sounds great to me too!
I'll check back in later.

Erin

I hope you have a nice trip!! We'll miss you this weekend!!

Let me know what you think about it.

I'm making the other one tonight since I've never tried that one before. I just took the crust out the oven and it looks really pretty -- all nice and neat. I'm waiting for it to cool and then I'm going to put it in the fridge for a few minutes to see if I can chill it enough for it to do right.

I can't wait!!

Congratulations on losing half of what you gained! The other one will probably be gone by the time you return.

Re: Induction -- Day Twelve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, hope you don't mind my jumping in. Linda's pizza recipe is good, if you don't want to use the parchment paper, you can use the no-stick aluminum foil. I think Im going to make a meatloaf today, and then use the thinly sliced pieces to make individual meatza. Hope it works, I'll let you know if it does.

I spray a glass baking dish really well and find that I don't have to use anything. The crust pulls away from the sides and works well -- surprisingly.

What is a meatza? Could you post the recipe under the new thread "Induction -- Day Thirteen" for us (since this one is a day old now...)

Thanks for joining us!
