    When you use onions in your cooking do you either use them raw or fried? Is there another way to cook onions?

    I cook them down until they are brown and caramelized.

    Is that fried or do you put them over heat without liquid?

    In a saucepan I put in 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, heat over medium-high, toss in half of a chopped onion (i like yellow as they are sweeter), turn heat to med-low, stir occasionally until golden brown. It takes about 10 minutes or so.

    Well, tomorrow is the last day of the shape up challenge I set for myself. I had to go back to page 7 to see what the goal was lol
    I was 220 and set a goal of 40lbs in 75 days.
    I won't make it to 180 but I am under 185 so 35+ lost and we will see what the Friday official end weight is, I am excited! I am pretty proud of my progress, and I am glad I had this community to log my work and be encouraged by everyone else.
    I will come and post a link with some pictures from our hiking and Pearl Jam trip next week.
    Keep at it folks, one day at a time!

    Agreed with Ms. H, great job.

    Hope my fellow South Carolinians are hospitable to you and your crew on your visit.

    My trainer killed me today though. Basically a full body workout that was really high intensity and short rest periods. If we had done this one a couple of months ago I'd be dfo'd at the gym. :lol:

    Great job rgambs!

    I'm still doing PT, caught a cold last week and lost 6 pounds so far.

    My heartbeat got a little fluttery last night. I had hoped an increase in potassium foods would have helped. Maybe it did because it was only overnight and I'm back to normal. In January an event lasted four days.

    I forgot that exercise was supposed to help. I'll rest up the next couple days and then I will be more committed to an exercise plan.

    After a week or two at around 203 I finally went below. I'm at 201.8 now. I'm surprised since I had 4 slices of pizza yesterday.

    Was the baby in a halter facing you with blue and white sneakers? I tried to find that picture and I couldn't find it. Did you have fun? Did rgambs, jr. have fun?
