WOW....I'm a newbie and just read your story and I am blown away that you lost so much in such a short period of time.  May God continue to bless you in your efforts. Needwife.  Thank you for reposting that for us newbies.  I am so impressed.  I hope to be as successful as you.  I have to lose about 60 pounds to be at goal and so I know I will lose it somewhat slower, but just to see it working so well for you helps me to stay on track.  THANKS!

NEEDWIFE, I WAS GOING TO POST THIS ON A SEPERATE THREAD BUT I THINK I'LL JUST POST IT HERE.  I HAD TO MAKE SOME SOUP TODAY AND I DIDN'T HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF EXTRA STUFF.  I HAD TO USE WHAT I HAD ON HAND SO THIS IS WHAT I DID.  I KNOW IT'S A SMALLER QUANTITY BUT I THINK YOU COULD RAMP UP THE VOLUME THE NEXT TIME YOU COOK.

SO ANYWAY THIS IS WHAT I MADE TODAY.

I HAD ABOUT 1 CUP OF COOKED LEAN GROUND BEEF IN THE FRIDGE
I ALSO HAD ABOUT FIVE FROZEN CHICKEN TENDERLOINS IN THE BAG

FIRST THING I DID WAS TO COOK THE CHICKEN TENDERLOINS IN SOME WATER WITH SALT, PEPPER AND SOME BLACKEND SEASONING.  YOU CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH FLAVOR THAT SEASONING HAS! 

AFTER I COOKED THE CHICKEN I TOOK THE POT OFF THE HEAT AND SET IT TO THE SIDE.  I USED ABOUT 1 CUP OF THAT LIQUID IN MY SOUP POT.  THEN I ADDED THE 1/2 CAN OF CRUSHED TOMATOES THAT I HAD IN A CONTAINER.  NEXT I ADDED FROZEN VEGGIES.  I HAD ABOUT 1/4 BAG EACH OF MIXED VEGGIES AND BROCCOLLI, CAULIFLOWER AND ZUCHINNI MIX. 

I HAD A CAN OF DARK RED KIDNEY BEANS.  I DRAINED AND RINSED THEM.  I PUT 1/2 OF THE CAN IN MY MAGIC BULLET AND USED SOME MORE OF THE CHICKEN BROTH TO BLEND THEM INTO A THIN CREAM.  I ADDED THIS TO THE POT TOO.  THEN I ADDED THE OTHER HALF OF THE BEANS TO THE POT.  I OPENED A SMALL CAN OF CORN AND ADDED THIS TOO.  I ADDED MORE SALT, MORE PEPPER AND MORE BLACKENING SPICE TO THE SOUP POT.

I THEN ADDED THE GROUND BEEF AND THEN PULLED THE CHICKEN TENDERLOINS APART AND ADDED THEM.  I COVERED THE POT AND LET IT SIMMER.  I ONLY SIMMERED ABOUT 10 MINUTES BECAUSE THE MEAT WAS ALREADY COOKED.  IT WAS DELISH!! 

YOU CAN ADJUST THE MEAT TO YOUR LIKING, BUT I REALLY THINK THE CRUSHED TOMATOES AND THE BLENDED BEANS ADDED SO MUCH TO THE STOCK.  I TOTALLY STOLE THIS IDEA FROM LITTLE MARY SO SHE GETS ALL THE CREDIT.    GIVE IT A TRY AND LEMME KNOW!

[jaydensmommy]

I checked on Amazon.  Which Magic Seasoning Blend of Paul Prudhomme?  There are many there.

[LittlePrincess]

HI CQ,

Hey Y'all,

I just wanted to say Good Afternoon!  I hope everyone is having a great day so far.  I woke up this morning feeling energetic, happy and healthy.  I walked up to the mailboxes with the puppy.  I am soooo looking forward to the day when I can do that and not get winded.  But the important thing is I did it!  The sun is out here today and it's beautiful outside!  I'm going to spend some time out in the sun today and make some vitamin D.  Love y'all.

That is a great accomplishment for you.  Just keep seeing yourself thin and doing everything you have not been able to do for years.  Isn't it wonderful to be able to dream again and have hope?!  I was able to walk to the back of Costco yesterday and get some things and make it back to the front without having to stop and rest.  What a blessing to be apart of LDL and getting healthier.

I LIKE THE BLACKENED STEAK MAGIC AND THE BLACKENED REDFISH MAGIC.

Wendy,
Walking to the rear of Costco and back to the front is a wonderful NSV (non-scale victory)!!! Isn't wonderful to be able to measure your success by the little things that you are now able to do that wouldn't have been possible before LDL. Congratulations on this achievement!!!

Many blessings,
Ollie

Mary, I knew I liked Harrison...

My husband always uses Emeril's expression...."You could put it on a bumper and it would taste good!" He and my sons use all the Magic seasonings to cook with...I love to come home to a kitchen that smells like heaven.

GOOD MORNING NEEDWIFE,
  I WAS BROWSING THIS MORNING AND CAME ACROSS THIS THREAD. IF IT'S STILL ACTIVE I'D LIKE TO JOIN THE 200 PLUS CLUB. I THINK I FIT THE CRITERIA. YOUR STORY HAS TRULY INSPIRED ME AND I'M SURE IT WILL TO MANY A NEW MEMBER. I WEIGHED 438LBS WHEN I STARTED MY JOURNEY AND I'M POSITIVE I WILL REACH MY GOAL AFTER READING SO MANY TESTIMONIES LIKE YOURS AND OTHER MEMBERS ON THE SITE. MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY.

THANK TIM

[VickiLynn]

TIM,

THANKS FOR BRINGING NEEDWIFE'S THREAD UP TO THE TOP BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND I AM CONCERNED NOT KNOWING HOW HE IS DOING.  I'M SURE OTHER MEMBERS ARE CONCERNED TOO.

I HAVE BEEN READING YOUR POSTS AND YOU HAVE BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB WITH YOUR EATING PLAN.  LDL IS THE BEST WAY OF EATING EVER.  I'VE NEVER BEEN HUNGRY AND LOVE THE FACT THAT I AM NOT LIMITED TO CERTAIN FOODS, DON'T HAVE TO COUNT POINTS, MEASURE OR WEIGH FOOD, ETC.  MY HUSBAND LOVES ALL THE LDL MEALS I MAKE AND HE HAS LOST 40 LBS EATING, EATING, EATING.  HE IS AT THE LOWEST WEIGHT SINCE HE AND I MARRIED ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO -- LOOKIN GOOD  .  KEEP ON KEEPING LDL AND YOU TOO WILL REACH YOUR GOAL WEIGHT.
