Thanks!

olive oil based salad dressing (Carb Control or Newman's Own)
Dijon mustard
almonds
boneless skinless chicken breasts
sirloin beef patties
turkey bacon
Canadian bacon
sliced deli turkey
eggs
ff / lf cheddar, parmesan, feta, string cheeses
skim milk
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! spray
water

*I have olive oil and tons of spices*

If there's anything not allowed, or if there's anything that you've found you can't live without, please let me know. I look forward to joining you all.

to the beach and the forum Jennifer and dh! Your shopping list is excellent! I like easy and simple too. Good luck to both of you. Jump right in, we're real easy going, supportive and friendly here

Thanks justmarvi! I can't wait to get started. We would have started yesterday but we have a pizza party to go to tomorrow night. That will be our last hurrah!

Oh MAN!!! I need a drooling smiley!

I think pizza is what we miss most of all... And all the pizza-on-a-pita type of things don't do it. They taste fine, but it's not real pizza!!!

Even the SB pizzas, while good, aren't quite right.

Jennifer, your list looks great! The only things I can think of that we use a lot are roasted red peppers and some spaghetti sauce, if you can find any without sugar in it. There are so many good "legal" things you can make with a jar of tomato sauce!

Thanks Emily! I wasn't sure if peppers were legal so I didn't have them on my list but they're there now. I love 'em!

Hi Jennifer. I love your avatar. You might want to add sugar free jello to your list. If you have a sweet tooth, it's a great dessert. Good luck!

Thanks PIR8LUVR! I stole my avatar from a poster at another site I frequent.

SF Jello is a great idea. DH has a big sweet tooth.
You've done great losing 11 lbs in only one month!
