I have noticed you and I seem to march to the same beat, if not the same exact drummer.. I agree with you. I didn't approach it as a diet, because diets don't work, and they suck. I started out from the beginning intending to lose weight eating the same way I wanted to maintain it. I think us being lightweights does play onto it, and I think not have slow metabolisms does too. I didn't yo-yo.. Just gained huge amounts twice and never lost it.. I called those times pregnancies... Ha ha..

I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

I like some of them, but I too, have decided that BAKED EGGS don't taste right. I think that was the problem. I made the crab ones and another one, but decided I would try the other recipes. For me, it was baking the eggs that made me not like them. The taste was ok.

Wow. Not even close.

Edit-**I did in fact say "I am not a fan of Eggface's recipes" meaning the 3 that I tried.

that is an opinion.mine. no one else has to agree.

So I wanted to get everyone else's opinion. I dont want to go to the site myself or send anyone else there as a resource for recipes without being about to tell them what to navigate around aka what works and what doesnt. I am sure Shelley knows that some of her recipes are better than others as does any cook., including myself

Now if I said, "Shelley sucks, her recipes all suck, I cant believe you people like this stuff" ok I could see how you would get the above response-

But what I said was what am I missing, did I try the wrong things, we all have different tastes, steer me to the best ones.

And never once did I call her out by name "Shelley" and question her value, its not about her it was about the site Eggface-

Addressing someone else I never questioned whether she helps people, etc.. We have all gotten good tips from her site thats not even a question. Again its not about her its about the site.

I am certainly entitled to my own opinion, I will not ever walk on eggshells (go figure) because someones feelings will always get hurt and someone will always take it the wrong way.

And I think its a fair question to ask of others-"what am I missing" since so many people send others there on a daily basis for recipes.

Seriously?.....I don't think Shelly's self-esteem.....rises...or falls....based on how many people like...or dislike her recipes. If so....I feel bad for her.
Everybody's tastes differ.......and one cannot please everybody. Frisco thinks I-N-O burger is dog food....I think it is "da bomb" It is an "opinion" thing...ya know? "opinions are like ********everyone has one......and most of the time....we feel everyone Else's....but their OWN....stinks!"

Wow - I dont believe that was Sassy's intention at all, but it was definitely yours. To not like a particular recipe of hers, does not mean that people do not like Shelly or do not have a huge respect for her and her site. Any foodie knows and respects that sometimes you have to tweak a recipe to your own tastes - its not personal.

Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become. Alyssa
