Thanks for the encouragement you guys! Let's just hope the weight STAYS off...I have never,ever,ever lost 5 pounds in one week.

I made turkey meatballs with spaghetti squash the other day and I stayed full all day. I had to add some raw almonds on the side because fat was too low, but I thought the spaghetti and meatballs turned out pretty good.

I took 1 pound of Jennie-O extra lean turkey and mixed it with one egg white and some onion powder and garlic powder. I made up 24 small meatballs and baked them at 350 degrees for 20 minutes (or until juices run clear).

I then sauteed 80 grams of onion with 4 garlic cloves and 180 grams of green pepper. When that was softened I addes 325 grams of petite diced tomatoes. I let that simmer for about an hour and then blended it with my handheld blender into a chunky sauce.

I also baked a spaghetti squash and shredded it. I used 300 grams of that for my "pasta". I also halfed a baked sweet potato (280 grams total raw, so 140 grams raw for half) and smashed that up.

My meals were spaghetti squash, topped with smashed sweet potato, turkey meatballs, and then sauce. Oh, and don't forget the almonds on the side.
