Saturday again, and only 13 days until Christmas! No loss to report this week, but I did maintain the big loss of last week which feels great. I attended a business dinner this week - butter and rolls, small salad, dinner plate with a mountain of carrots, 2 mountains of mashed potatoes and gravy, serving of roast beef, then apple pie and ice cream. I saved the salad until I received my main dish then ate the salad and beef. Never even considered the rolls or dessert and didn't want the potatoes and carrots. It was easy! It was wonderful! :)

It's Saturday - and I've passed the 50 pound mark!  I lost 4.2 pounds this week  ;D for a total of 51 pounds in 22 weeks. I was more strict with myself this week - don't eat in the morning until I'm hungry, and no grazing between meals. Extra eating is just a bad habit, and I am learning to develop a new habit of better practices. Feels great!

Girly Girl Talk / Turkey neck
« on: December 01, 2010, 07:18:14 PM »
Turkey neck - you know that sagging skin on a woman's neck. Lots of elderly women have it, but so do lots of not-so-elderly who have lost weight. Anyone have suggestions of how to treat it, avoid it or fight it?  Creams, recipes, home remedies, exercise, massage...?

Saturday at the end of Week 21 and I've lost another 2 pounds for a total of 46.8 pounds. Feels great! This lifestyle is getting easier all the time as it becomes just routine - just part of me and how I live every day. Oh - and I found a local source (fairly local for me, only 120 miles away) for La Tortilla low carb tortillas. They're wonderful!

Waity-Katy.  Just wait until she has a baby and gains 10 pounds. The British tabloids will be calling her Weighty-Katy. What a difficult life in the spotlight. I wish them every happiness for a long life together.

Not to worry, Shihtzumom. 10 pounds from now this little blip on the radar will be neither here nor there. You know the way, and it will lead you straight to your goal.  BTW I found the Stock & Barrel unsalted, roasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds at a larger PC store. Great stuff.  I've adjusted a cracker recipe to include them and I'm finding the crackers much more pleasant for daily lunch than the OneMinute muffin. Roasted seeds seem to have less carbs than raw, thanks for the shopping tip.

Another Saturday and no loss to report this week. However, I’m enjoying how loose my clothes feel  - and these are clothes I haven’t been able to wear for years. I will soon have to dig further into my wardrobe archives.

Wonderful news! You're on the home stretch. Good thing we don't have the temptations of Thanksgiving dinner coming up soon.

Saturday again, and 2 more pounds gone for a total of 44.8.  Feels great!  Lots of challenges coming up this week with travel and restaurant meals. I know the routine, just have to stick to it. Have a great week, everyone!

Saturday again:  Down 1.8 pounds this week for a total of 42.8 pounds. Feels great - and finally someone noticed! A friend mentioned to me on Monday she thought I was losing weight.  :)

Bingo! I'm so glad you followed up on this, CaliGirl. Thanks for solving the mystery.  16 net carbs per cup is vastly different than the 4 net carbs per cup claimed in the sunflower cracker recipe. How unfortunate that there is no standard in labelling.
I wonder how many other products are labelled like this. Maybe we are encountering weight loss plateaus or weight backslides because we're eating carbs which are hidden by the labelling.

General Discussion / Grindy Thing
« on: November 05, 2010, 08:33:11 PM »
Oops! First attempt, I typed Grindy Thong by mistake. :o :-[
Anyway, I don't have a grindy thing of any kind. What should I buy to grind flax seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds for baking. A coffee grinder?

Thank you, Caligirl, for all your research. I'll be interested to hear what David's has to say about their carb count.

Yes, Shihtzumom, those are the seeds I found locally at a Valumart, which is a smalltown President's Choice. My store doesn't carry them unsalted, but I'll look for them and the pumpkin seeds when I get to the city to a "real" store.

Yes, I am subtracting fibre.
NOW brand label for kernels says 6 g carb - 4 g fibre = 2 carbs per 3 Tbsp, which is 10.6 carbs per cup.
Bob's Red Mill for kernels says 6 g carb - 3 g fibre = 3 carbs per 1/4 cup, which is 12 carbs per cup. (my previous post of 16 per cup was wrong.)
The ones I just bought say 6 g carbs - 4 g fibre = 2 g carbs per 1/3 cup, which is 6 carbs per cup. I guess that's the best I can find.
