Hi TooSweet, thank you, I read it all. Read my 3 new posts today, I'm doing better. With you all here for me, I can't fail. I have cut out the smoothies for now, but that does give me MUCH less phytonutrients. Oh well, I can have some berries back after some weight loss...or when I reach goal. I am sensitive to sugars, very. I would like the recipe for the muffins you are talking about please. I don't eat gluten, but they prob. don't have any, please tell me that one. Please read what I ate today, I posted it, and tell me what I did. The brand of cacao is Navitas Naturals raw, organice cocao powder, I love it. I only use 1 TBSP, which makes it only 1 net carb. I can use less of it too. Perhaps I'm starting to see the light at the end of this tunnel now. I'm traveling to Vegas next week, I will do the right snacks. I ordered (online) some low carb, xylitol sweetened jelly and ketchup...and some crackers that are zero carb and gluten free. Yay! A little expensive, but I'll let you know how they are. I am keeping track of my blood sugar and hope to lower my insulin soon like I could last year when I was 173. Right now, I'm prob. around 210, I refuse to weigh, so I'm not sure, but I can tell, due to my experience wth how I feel at certain weights. I'm only 5'1". I want to lose at least 80 lbs. As for the exercise, I need it. I've been sedentary for many months now. I finally got my husband (who's depressed because he's been laid off for over a year) to take a walk with me today in the freezing air...at least five minutes, it's a start. I will continue and keep adding time. I used to work out, so I have muscle memory going for me. I have a strong body, but I've been ruining my health badly all my life, but esp. these last few months. Again, thank goodness for all of you. Tell me how I did and if you are able to see my other 3 postings from today.
