Eat the hamburger!  Be sure to pile on the "no-carb" goodies.  Like a few dill pickle slices, mustard, a slice of onion, a slice of cheese.  Sometimes you just got to do it.  At least you aren't craving sweets.  Even then, there are things you can have.  Then go for a walk and go to bed, sleep like a baby!  No guilt there!    I have found that if I eat my dinner later in the evening, I don't get hungry for snacks before bed.  If I eat early, there are too many hours before bedtime and I am hungry for another whole meal.

OK, I'm trying these!  My brother said pork rinds are 99 cents at Aldi's Foods.  They are $2.00 a bag in other stores.  I'm on my way to Aldi's.  They have all kinds of cheaper groceries.  They look delicious.  I am back on FTS again.  My blood sugar started back up, so I am trying to behave again. LOL  Don't need to loose much more weight, but loosing inches around the middle would be nice.  Can't wait to try these.

I worked Labor Day for my boss.  She sets up a cargo wago and sells her famous home-made ice cream (chocolate and vanilla) along with Black Angus burgers/chips/sodas, etc.  I had to help her do this and I was exposed to all these goodies.  I never ate any except a hamburger pattie and a diet Coke all day long.  LOL  However, I have gained back 4 pounds because I have eaten some small amounts of bread/pasta products over the past two weeks.  I know how to fix this, so I'm back on the FTS again.  I know I can do it.  I'd like to lose another 10 pounds.  I think I can, I think I can!!

I have a small catering business and cook for a small ranch (their family and staff).  So, as you can guess home-made cookes are a must.  I have to keep the cookie jar full and the catered box lunches always have 2 cookies/bx.  So, any FTS cookie recipes would be helpful, especially oatmeal raisin.  I bake the regular ones almost daily, so it would be nice if I had FTS ones for me!  I try so hard not to sample while I cook, but it's hard!

Absolutely!  You are doing great!  That extra fat has no where else to do go but "bye-bye"!  Be sure to set up a journal and record measurements as well as weight.  I also keep a food journal and I can clearly see that my weight loss stalls immediately after eating too many carbs on any given day. (Like eating out at an Italian restaurant).  Everyone is eating pasta/pizza/bread and I am eating wings and salad.  That fresh bread is soooo hard to resist.  Oh well, I am doing what my body needs me to do.  You can do this, we're all here for you.   

Yay!  Maddysmom!  90 pounds.  You should be proud.  Way to go!

  There is a Braum's in Salina, Kansas on Ohio and I think there might be one on 23rd in Topeka, I think I have driven by it.  Come on home Shawn and Suzlyn we'll all go for ice cream!!  I didn't know they had low carb ice cream.  I'll be driving up there soon.  I'll let you know.   

Hi everyone!  Sara Lee's 100% Whole Wheat 45 calories per slice bread is only 5g per slice.

Label says:  Total fat 5g, Cholesterol 0mg, Sodium 80mg, Carbohydrates 7g, Dietary Fiber 2g, Sugars 1g, Protien 3g

Wouldn't this make one slice about 5g???  Sooooo? Easy to find in any grocery store.  If it doesn't spike your blood sugars, one slice now and then???  You could try it.  BUT if you are really trying to drop the weight fast you might not want to try it yet.  Maybe later on??  Have a happy day!
