Hi All,

Christina, thank you for inviting me to your group. This is just what I need.
When you talk about woosh.. I think I know what you mean..lol
Looking at your menu it seems you need more fiber. I found a wounderful product. its called Benefiber. It's a tasteless powder. You can put it in coffee ,or tea ,or sprinkle it on food. The NI says it has 4 carbs, the fiber is 3g so if I understand it right you subtract the fiber from the carb count ,and it gives you the net carb count which would be 1..If I'm not doing this right someone please tell me.

I did WW for over 4 yrs. ,and really lost . It is a great program but I'm so sick of points..lol. I can look at the NI on any product and tell you the point value. I'm right on the money every time.

What got me started on the low carb path . I read Jay Robbs book. High/ low carb..it made so much sense. I'm not doing high carb every other day . I am taking one day a week and eating a baked potato..lol. I don't care how many ways a cauliflower is cooked its not a baked tater. lol.

Jamie, I am so understanding what you said about giving all to God.
I heard something the other day that was like ding,ding,ding..

It was stated that when you worry ,or eat you need to be in the moment. When we worry we usually worry about the way things turn out ,or the way they should be. It is very tiring. Most of the time it never turns out like we think it is.
They called it unconscious living instead of conscious living. Another way to put it is living in the moment that you have.
We are never promised another moment ,or day.
Then it was said about conscious , and unconscious eating.
WOW that was kinda a wake up call for me.

Diana, what an encourager you are. way to go on getting to wonderland.

I sure hope I don't sound like I'm on a soap box.lol

I can't wait till I learn all your names.

Rachel

Hi Rachel!
I am glad you took the time to come over to Diana's and my thread!! A whoosh can be anywhere from 1 to more pounds in one day..LOL I take 2 fiber pills (fibersure) a day and I might try the Benefiber to see what it is like. If you read my post on what happened to me today you will see I am just going to take it easy for awhile and just let the pounds go if they are meant too..lol. From what I plugged into Fitday today I had around 1445 in calories 16 carbs,106 grams of fat and 103 grams of protein for the day. I have not used Fitday in about over a year and have fogotten how to use it right. I will get use to it again.

Well..its about 930pm here in VA. I am going to bed. See you all in the AM..Night all, Sweet LC Dreams and HUGS

You're going to bed! I just got here!!! LOL

[carolyn2008]

I just started Induction about a week ago and still have not lost weight. I am wondering if my drinking artifically sweetened waters and diet hansens could be the problem. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Carolyn and Welcome!
Yes...possible...Dr Atkins I seen somewhere that he said if you was not losing on Induction to cut out most of your Artificial sweetened Stuff. I did that the first time around and lost over 100 lbs! Also, if you are not doing any kind of excerise I do advise it. It really helps.

Welcome again and HUGS

What is Fitday?

Lady..Fitday is a program on the web you can use for free to add your food up in each and day and your Excersie you do. I used it the first time around and its great. Google it and you can find it that way.

[COLOR="Purple"]Good Morning to all the Wonderful Women here!!!


Good Morning Christina!!! How are you doing this wonderful morning!!
I was up early, around 3am. I couldn't sleep, my nose was stuffed up from allergies and I could breathe!
How's Brandon been feeling? Did you both get over the flu completely yet or is it still lingering?
What are you going to do today, anything special?


Good Morning Lady! Once you get used to Fitday, you'll like it. It helps track your foods and how many carbs/calories/fats/protein you're eating.
I hope you're doing great!!

Hi Carolyn!! Welcome to our cozy little thread!! I hope you come back often!!
Also, check for hidden sugars in foods. Sometimes food don't actually show the carbs or sugars and if are eating foods that contain them, that can hinder our weight loss. So it is pretty important to check labels and ingredients. [/COLOR]

[Livywilltim-mom]

Blessed Saturday my friends!!

I LOVE to come here and read all the wonderful information and get to know all of you great ladies more and more.

I am off to make a plan for this coming weeks meals so I can make a grocery list...so I will BBL...

We both have gotten over what we had but our Allergies are going haywire also!! The pollen is so high everywhere right now. We planted our White and Yellow Onions sets and Lettuce yesterday. We had rain yesterday so maybe it will come up in a week! Brandon and I both got sunburned thou!! It suppose to get up to 75 today..was 80 yesterday and only suppose to be in the 50s tommorow, and 40 Monday and only 50s on Tuesday!

Nothing special today..we have run for 2 days so we are just going to stay around the house and get some things done around here for a change!! LOL We got to clean our big freezer out and put new mini blinds up in our kitchen. We have a 90 year old farmhouse we have redone over the past 11 years. We both cheap mini blinds about 7 year ago and they have finally had it..lol We bought good ones now for the kitchen in pink and wooden ones for our bedroom which we got up last weekGot to take our fabric toppers to the laundry mat to be cleaned also.

Morning Beauties!

Hope all is going well this weekend!!!! My hubby and I went out last night a had a great dinner. I had a Martini and a prime rib doesn't get any better than that!

Diana those cookies look so Yummy I just need me some low carb chips and I am set. Awesome pictures. Hope you are feeling better W/ the allergies an all.

Christina hope you are pain free today. Yes, it is best you let the weight thing go and concentrate on feeling better

Rachel this is such a fun group. I post a little on other threads but when I come here it feels like home

Lady I love fitday it has helped me so much. I didn't like it at first it was hard to put in all the new foods but once you get yours in there it is so easy and it is neat to check your averages. Like me, over the last 2 weeks I ate an average of 1710 calories and 14 carbs.... just type in fitday in a search engine it will come up. and thanks for all those yummy recipies the ice cream sounds soooo good.


Hi to everyone else too hope you all have a great low carb weekend!!!!!

[Chrislukey]

My menu:
B- egg cream
l- salad
d-tonight is movie night! I get movies from the library and make food to eat in front of the TV so we are having pizza made with the cheese crust. I am also going to make the pizza sausage cause I can't find any without corn syrup or MSG (my husband can't have MSG you'd be suprised how many thngs have it). Heroin wings and veggies and dip.



The cheese crust and the heroin wings are both new recipes for me so I will let you know how it turns out.

[Determinedtolose]

[COLOR="Magenta"]Hi Chris! Hi Jaimie!

Thanks Chris, those cookies are still sitting in the same place and I'm afraid to eat one!!
I want to see how they are today, being that I left to sit over night to dry out more.
Your dinner last night sounded wonderful!! Oh Yum!!!
You have a great low carb day too!!

Hi Jaimie! You are so purty!!! Look at your avi!!!! It does help to plan doesn't it! Unfortunately for me when I plan something, and I see another meal, I switch to the new one! I'm so finicky like that!!! Why???
I hope you have a wonderful Saturday too!!!

Oh and I actually walked this morning!!! I walked about 2 miles at a nearby park and boy did it feel good!!! DH was kind enough to come with me and we took our little dog. Poor baby, he got cockleberries all over him!! But we go them out.

Everyone, Let's Stay On Plan Ladies!!!! Whoohooo!! [/COLOR]

[Determinedtolose]

[COLOR="Magenta"]Oh my menu!

B-egg sandwich w/ bacon on a rev roll
L- small serving of mock mac and cheese
D-either a grilled pork steak or a hamburger on a rev roll, small salad.
Water, coffee!

I'm still at 205, so I hope I can get past this soon!!![/COLOR]

Have a great weekend Luz!!

[Livywilltim-mom]

Ladies, I found some fantastic induction friendly recipes on Linda Sue's website. I printed a bunch out and am headed to the store in a minute.

[blessedtamekia]

Hi ladies!

Needless to say, I had alot of reading to do to keep up with you guys! Oh, my God, you all are so inspirational. I really enjoy reading the various posts. Oh by the way, welcome to all the new ladies.

I see many of you do what I've done before and what I'm attempting to do now to get back in the swing of things; plan ahead. Accountability and planning ahead is what works for me so I am going to stick with that.

Once again, I'm enjoying this and it really is helping.

Good afternoon everyone. Hope it's going well. Ok, first, who has a great recipe for egg creams? I could really use some to add to my collection. Also, what is a rev bun?

It's a beautiful, sunny day here in Florida. It seems that one of our many ducks in the area has decided to make her nest in my yard. So far she has laid three eggs. I can't wait to see the babies. They are so cute. However, all this activity is driving my two cats crazy. They see them through the window and I can tell they want out. They also try to get to the lizards on the window....
I have an orange and white tabby and a maine coon. We adopted them about two years ago when they were 7 mos. old. They are such a joy to have around when my husband is out of town. Actually, my maine coone (Sadie) love to play fetch. (go to youtube and type in ladychurchill and then click on the video.

I'm going to have shrimp for dinner tonight with spaghetti squash. I mix the squash with some butter, salt & pepper and parmesean cheese. Very good!
And, for dessert I'm going to have my jello mousse with a little whip cream.

Well, all, that's about it for my exciting day so far . I'm so glad I found this forum. It keeps me going knowing that I'm not doing this alone. Have a blessed day everyone.

[mac24312]

Lady
Hi! Give me you e-mail since I cannot PM you and I will send you a bunch of LC Induction Shakes..they are not Egg Creams...but they are really good and only about 5 carb for each large glass...Rev rolls are like Cleo rolls except they are made with Cottage or Ricotta Cheese and are cooked longer..if you look in the where we post recipes there is a sticky for Cleo's made with Cream Cheese and I can also e-mail you the Rev rolls.

[COLOR="Purple"]Hi Ladies! Wazzzz Zup!

I've been busy at home, spending time with my lil sis, and went to TJ Max. I bought a few things, some spices and extracts.

My menu changed, for breakfast I had a turkey, bacon and avocado on a rev roll. It was guuuuud!

Don't know what I'll have for dinner because I am not even hungry! I know I gotta eat, but maybe I'll fix a little something later.

Jaimie, you can definately do her induction. If you read LindaSue's menu, she posts everything she ate and how she lost again. It's cool!

Hi Christina! How are you doing! Your menu looks good!! I hope you're having a great day!

Hi Tamekia! Thanks again for the heads up!! I hope your day is going wonderfully!!! Come back and visit us again!!

Hi backatiti! I don't know if anyone did a carb count on those meringues yet. I've been attempting to do that on my Mastercook, but not sure if I did that right. I came up with about 2 carbs, but will have to double check.

Make sure you store them when they cool. I left mine uncovered over night and they are really crumbly. So make sure you store them

Well, I gotta go again, my mom is over now and I don't want to neglect them.

I'll come back and talk to you all later!!

I love you Ladies!!! [/COLOR]

[Determinedtolose]

Christina! What are you doing?

[Livywilltim-mom]

Blessed Sunday!

I am heading to Mass to sing in a few minutes, but was thinking of you all and wanted to say a quick hello.

When I get back I will post what I made yesterday, and tell you what my weekly plan is.

[mac24312]

HI!
Blessed Sunday to everyone! Boy..Diana..I was so tired by the time you got on I went to bed early. I was up 2am with my sinuses blocked up. I didnt go back to sleep till almost 5am. My husband mowed the yard yesterday and boy can I feel it today!

Of course since we didn't eat till almost 730 last night the scales are being bad to me this AM.I am up a pound to 140.9. I know I said I was not going to worry about the scale but every darn time I eat late this happens to me!! I guess I am carb sensitive!

I KNOW I am not suppose to be walking but I really wanted to walk yesterday. Diana..I am glad you got your walk in..how did the scale treat you on that today? Dont it feel great to get out and walk.. I AM going to walk some today..not really steep incline or anything..I will get at least 3 miles in..fast or slow..I really need to do it..I miss it! I noticed my Ketosis are lighter this am..I really need to walk.

Well..I got to go and get breakfast going. Everyone have a great Blessed Sunday!

[COLOR="Navy"]Good Morning Lady! I love your picture, you're so pretty! Your cats sound so cute!! I'm going to check out the youtube. Aww, the baby ducks, you must live in a beautiful area!
I love squash too. What kind did you use? I'm never had it with parmesan cheese on it. I'll have to try that sometime. I always buy zucchini squash. My mom makes that all the time. She cuts the zuc in 1/4 inch slices and cooks them with some onions in a little butter. Then when they're almost tender, she adds some shredded cheddar cheese to it and let's it melt. I think she adds some chopped tomotoes too. Adds a little salt and a lot of pepper. For some reason the pepper is what makes this taste good!

Have a great day and I'll talk to you later! [/COLOR]

[COLOR="Purple"]Good Morning Christina!! I'm with you on the sinus blockage! I couldn't sleep last night either! I had to come out to the livingroom where it's cooler. I'm going to open up the windows and doors to let some cool air come in.
I'm going to pour me some coffee here shortly!

I love to walk too, I may get some in today, just have alot of housework. Yesterday I had my sister and her kids over along with another niece and her boyfriend, so I didn't get too much done.

My niece wanted to fix a homemade pizza for everyone, and while she did that my sister and I went to TJ Maxx to look at some things.

So we come home and the pizza was cooking and boy did it smell good! I did taste a little bit of it because I wanted to see if she did a good job, which she did!

Everyone loved it! This niece who is 17 is taking a culinary class in HS. Can you believe in HS!! We only had homeEc. She has learned alot of cooking methods, recipes and things I never made before. So I'm learning too, LOL!

Well, I think I'm going to get my coffee. I'll talk to you later!!![/COLOR]
