Thanks Tony I told you before that you have to be the sweetest man ever !!

Andrea I am not blaming him that is for sure it is me thinking itis never gonna happen anyway so why not when he was wanting to go out ..He is on a diet now not FTS but pretty low carb and Tyler stays under 50 carbs .
So no junk in the house and only go out to eat and get FTS friendly stuff like I did when started before . He is a very kind person LOL he just wanted to go eat at a Chinese restaurant and wanted me to go even though he knew it would mess me up . Just wanted you to know it was my fault and frustration for giving in not his . Because He is almost as sweet as Tony  ;)

Umpa I aint not quiter LOL  I am just mental  ;)

The past is the past and you are very right Tony &  Andrea . I just know that if I had not wavered a hundred times I would be where you are . We started out about the same time sept 2010 and we were both slowly keeping up with each other in the turtle club , my hubby kept saying " whats one splurge gonna hurt your not losing that much anyway " . ( I think hubby was trying to sabatoge me a little ) & my mental brain said well WTH
But we know all it does it make us gain and lose the same 3 pounds everytime we do that .
 
I know I need to get where Morgan is and love myself as much as I love others sad to say I never have been able to do that .

Lunch Recipes / Easy Hot and Sour Soup
« on: July 15, 2012, 08:50:54 AM »
2 cans - 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms drained
1 teaspoon minced garlic or garlic powder
2 teaspoons peanut oil or 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or 1 teaspoon chili oil
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 small cans water chesnuts drained
1 tray extra firm tofu cut into strips or cubes
Directions:
1In a large pot, saute mushrooms and garlic in hot oil over medium heat for 4 minutes, stir  frequently.
2Add in broth, vinegar, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes; stir; bring to a boil.
3Add in chicken and tofu; lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes turn off heat and put top on until ready to serve .
4.Remove from heat; stir in sesame oil.
I think the whole pot was 10-12 carbs you could leave out the water chesnuts but I wanted them for the crunch . Very good and easy .Even hubby liked it of course tyleer would not go near it

Breads and Crackers / Re: Almond Flour crackers
« on: July 15, 2012, 06:53:59 AM »
I made these again this time I added about 2-3 T of sesame seeds and yummy they were like wheat thins for sure
Here is the recipe
1 cup almond flour
1egg white
1/4-1/2 tsp salt
2-4 T sesame seeds

Mix together then put on  sprayed  parchment paper on pan and then press dough down flat and even as possible with othe parchment paper .
Bake at 325 for 10 minuites. Kinda watch them I have to take the ones on the ends out sooner then the center ones . These are very good amount of crackers vary . I am using bobs almond flour I do not like the now almond flour for some reason so my carbs is total of 13 will be much lower for those of you that use now .
This fixed the only thing I missed and it was my wheat thins that I use to eat with my salads and with just cream cheese .

I am glad that we found FTS so that are children will not have to get very fat and unhealthy before they do something if only we had been told about this years ago . In Tyler's case you would think 6 years ago when he was diagnosed with Type 1 they would have told us to limit carbs instead sent us home with a menu of 75 carbs per meal and 3 snacks a day of 15 carbs & lots of insulin . Needless to say he was a butterball within 6 months ,once I started my on research I cut the carbs down myself then that is when I stumbled on Doug's low carb video!!!

Does Madison feel lucky she is 6'2 or not I would love to had been taller
