[marylouise]

I forgot to enter the hot sauce....But the kind I have says zero carbs, I think. yes I looked it is zero. But it is very high in salt!

[marylouise]

Bed time here

Sleeping longer and more seems to help me. Susan you are right about going to bed early. Stops the munchies...Nite you guys. See you in the daylight....

[soontobesexy'ntx]

Good morning!
Well the no soda day did help me lose weight but not as much as I had hoped for.
yesterdays weight was 203.8 todays 203.2
but I must confess supper was a "little" salty
DH wanted mexi food so I made it at home instead of eating out
Bean and cheese nachos made on Whole wheat torilla chips
salsa, queso cheese, guac and sour cream w/ the WW chips
WW torilla chip "recipe"
take cookie sheet spray with "Pam" or lightly coat with EVOO
cut WW torillas into 1/4's
place on cookies sheet spray with "Pam" lightly salt
bake at 350 til lightly brown and crispy depending on oven about 10 mins??

Shanan, I think sour cream is fine. Linda asked if it was allowed on induction. I don't see it at all in my Atkin's 72 book, but I think ML has it on her 68 list. In small quantities.

[didi]

ML, Here is the best stevia powder, I think. This is from netrition.

NuNaturals NuStevia Pure White Stevia Extract Powder

This kind has no filler, no maltodextrin. You only use a tiny bit per serving, it lasts a long time.


NOW Stevia Extract Powder (Better Stevia)
But, this one is just as good. I found I have to use about twice as much. But it is cheaper. I like both, just get whichever you can find with no maltodextrin or other fillers. The serving size is a very small amount because it is very potent.

[didi]

I think Linda got the Now because she mentioned the spoon, it is tiny. No spoon in the NuNaturals Nustevia.

But there are many products out there, liquids too. Be sure to read the labels and don't buy fillers.

Good luck with your hunt!

BTW, I use this stevia in everything from candy to pudding to cole slaw dressing. It is good!

Can you tell I haven't had a sweet in a day and a half! I should mail you my bottles, I have one of each stevia.

I have not ate sour cream for 16 months

Yea it is on that list but I love the stuff and little scared to use it......The HWC is all I will allow myself.

Didnt weight this morning but I feel lighter. Belly is more sunk in. That feeling is the one I want. I want to feel my bones.

Dianna you keep your stevia. You will need it one day and it keeps for a very very long time. I am going to try my best to find the plant. Next spring I hope to have it growing all around me. And if I am successful I will send yall some of it. auntie Em raises it and puts a leaf in her tea. I'm fairly good at raising things. always had a little green thumb. My mawma passed this on to me.

Here comes the thunder again!


I am amazed I have spell check!!!!:jump joy:

I ant sure but I think I have Cheri to thank! Thank you Cheri

I cannot stop at 5 bites ... not if my life depended on it. That is one reason I never had that weight loss surgery where they make your stomach into a tiny pouch. I would lose whatever I have left of my mind. That is why atkins /lc works for me. When I am not hungry I dont eat but if I have a day I need to eat, bring on the bacon! ROTFLOL I am a nut, hun?

I am like that too ebeads, one thing the Juddd has shown me is I eat alot lol. Its an up day and I had for breakfst. A protein shake at the gas station that had 51g of protein 6 carbs 2 fiber. 230 cal.
A egg salad sandwich didn't eat the bread and 2 servings of cashews. I am at like 700 cals so far so I have 1300 left today. I probably wont eat until dinner at like 8pm.

[kittycitygirl]

Except for that sugar free bread, that I am never eating again, I have not had any either. Sugar not a bite except for that huge taste of that historic banana pudding. One more. I did eat ground flax 3 or 4 times......

oh I am so happy to have spell check back!

It is wonderful!!!!

[didi]

Just got back from taking Mom shopping, oh my word, the sugar in that cart!!! And rye bread, white bread, cinn raisin bread (YUM), and ENGLISH MUFFINS!!!!! $150 worth of nothing! The meat I could have bought with that.

Mom is getting more confused and feeble though, I worry so much! She agrees that carbs are bad, "but I've lived this long eating them and I think I'm doing pretty good" is what she says. I can't bear to say "I don't want to grow old the way you have, if I can help it."

ML, I'm still thinking about the Stevia, the first time I went meat only, sweet free, I took two big bags of LC products to the curb and the trash man took them. 2 1/2 months later, I deciced to eat sweets again cuz I hadn't lost any weight. I had to buy new stuff!

Weather cleared out for now. Suppose to come back Sunday I think.

Shanan you have some bad weather headed toward you. Buckle everything down....


I am just hanging out waiting for that call. I guess I can come here and pretend....one lap..two lap...three lap...


I know this for sure. MY swimming pool will be but up when it cools off. Yes it will be put up. I should have stomped my feet this spring. But I had miss-givings about putting it up without a proper fence.
Spring last year a grandma was taking care of her grand kids. The little one was not being watched. She was 2 years old. So sad. So bad. Grandma will never be the same. It happened here. Not on sons place but this community. Son was friends to them all. He went over to their house and tore the pool down and hauled it to the metal scrap yard. This happened early last summer. Before we moved back home.

We will be putting up a barrier nothing can climb over.
Barbwire!
They outlawed razor wire here.
