Thanks Tony, I will definitely take heed. I surely do not want my progress to go down the drain. I bought several bags at Kroger, they had them on sale for a dollar a bag. I will freeze them and have them occasionally as you mentioned. Thanks again!

I absolutely love this candy! Makes me feel like I can have my cake and eat it too. Just wondering if this is too good to be true. Would eating this product daily cause me not to lose weight as fast? I don't want to over do it, but they are so yummy that I could easily make these my daily desserts.

Ask Umpa / Eggnog

Umpa how are you doing? I pray you and your family are well. I am still doing well on my low carb lifestyle. I feel so much better! I'm finally starting to get the compliments of noticeable weight loss. Usually this time of year I purchase eggnog and this year I refuse to break my lifestyle for a cup. I was wondering if you could convert or had a low carb friendly recipe for eggnog? I would love to enjoy a few cups during my winter break. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello Umpa,
Thanks you so much for your encouraging remarks and suggestions. This forum is definitely assisting me in being successful on this journey. I'm glad you mentioned the Ask Umpa forum, my mom keeps talking about her famous banana pudding she's bringing to our family dinner Thursday, and my lips are watering  ;) I do not want to throw all my progress away, so I've determined to not even take a bite of it. However, I was wondering if you had an alternative low carb version of a banana pudding. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello all, as I mentioned yesterday I went shopping for some of my ingredients for some of the yummy low carb recipes. I fixed the dressing and OH MY GOODNESS, it was DELICIOUS!!! I'm so excited to take this along with me to our family dinner Thursday. I plan on having everyone taste it. I did tweak it some, I love sage so I added much more than the recipe suggested. I also added some flaxseed mill for fiber. I can't wait to make another batch. My next recipe to try is the candied turnips. Thanks for sharing these wonderful recipes. They are truly making my lifestyle change enjoyable.

Thank you to all who commented and encouraged me. I am truly thrilled to have such a great support team. Doug and the others who asked, I have not had the opportunity to read the book yet, but with your recommendations, I plan on purchasing it on my Nook to do so. I am still doing very well on my new low carb lifestyle and I absolutely love all of the numerous of recipes we have to choose from. As I mentioned before I'm not quite sure how much I weighed in at when I started last Tuesday the 11th, but I feel so much better inwardly and have noticed some slight changes in the fit of some of my clothes :))) Umpa I will definitely use your favorite recipe converter column. I've actually printed a folder full of the many yummy sounding recipes I've found on the forum. I can't wait to try the low carb dressing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and maccafoni recipes. I plan on taking them with me to the Thanksgiving dinner my family is having. This way I won't be tempted and no one will feel I'm missing out. By doing this I can avoid being pressured to just have a taste of those HIGH CARB FOODS that will be so prevalent. Once again thank you all so very much for you advice and words of encouragement. I will definitely keep you posted on how I am maintaining my new low carb lifestyle.

Hello all, I am new to the forum and would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Patrice, I'm 45 and I weight over 400lbs. I don't know my exact weight because my scale capacity is 400lbs. It stopped registering sometime ago so I know I'm well over 400lbs, just how much over is the question. I, like many of you, have battled excess weight all my life. Well, since 9yrs of age. My mom has had me on and I have been on so many diets and diet plans that I can't even imagine how many. I've been hypnotized, scrutinized, threatened, bribed etc when it comes to me losing weight. NONE of it worked. The only plan that has remotely came close to helping me win this battle was following the Atkin's plan. I know low carb eating is best for my body and although this style of eating is contrary to most of the people in my circle, I'm returning to what I know is best for ME! I'm so grateful to have come across this forum. Just knowing that there are others out there with my plight means so much. Your support and any suggestions towards helping me to be successful are truly appreciated. I too desire to encourage you all to continue the great work and look forward to seeing and hearing you success stories. May God bless us all to win this battle!!!
