She has lost forty or so pounds so far and I am so proud of her!  Her favorite recipe is IZZET's fluff...She doubles the recipe and only uses one box of sugar-free strawberry Jello.  She sure is looking pretty in her outfits.  Everything she has lost has stuck on me though.    Too much homemade spagetti with tomatoes from the garden.  I am trying to workout more doing Zumba, drinking plenty of water and green tea...I even like it without sweetner if it has pomagranite in it or other fruit flavors.   I am not going to change my ticker until I lose 20 pounds.   I only weigh once a month now.  Low carb really is the key to tameing the sugar dragon.  I am so glad that I gave my sister the copy of Fat to Skinny Doug and Umpa sent me.  She is my inspiration.

TooSweet, those look good enough to take to a Christmas Party.  I regret that I haven't had time to use mine yet but will soon.  I have been seeing a commercial for Macy's on television that shows the mini donut makers on sale.  It will be nice to use in the summer time and not have to heat up the oven.  They also make great gifts.

This week Walmart has mini donut bakers on sale for $14.88.  These sit on the counter top and bake 7 mini donuts and when they are through baking a light indicates that they are done.  I tracked down a Walmart that has them in stock and bought one as a Christmas gift to myself.
I am really excited to try the chocolate donut recipe out of the bakery book tomorrow.  I will report back to let you know how they turn out.  I do believe that they will remain on sale until Saturday. 

We all love it when the scale goes down.  Let's all keep it going down over the holidays.  I hope that your cold get's better.

Thank You All.  I am thrilled that I won! 

I am so impressed with your bakery book and all of the wonderful pictures.  I most definately will buy it when it comes out in hard copy next year.  I just love it!  Thank you Doug and Umpa for all of your hard work.

Tony...you should use the brown sugar substitute, maple syrup will not work.  Toffee has a certain consistency.
I do admit it was tough finding a candy for halloween.  So many of the recipes call for confectioners sugar.  I will look some more.  Maybe I will find another one to enter as well.  I am suprised that there have not been many entries.  Maybe somebody else will find a new candy recipe for Halloween.

Believe this...3 more pounds and you will be at your goal.  That is excellent!
