I just thought I would share what I have been reading tonight. My order of all six books of the Eat This Not That series arrived today and I have been deeply engrossed in reading them. Fascinating information. They are inexpensive and chocked FULL of information that I might not have otherwise known.
I hope everyone is having a good night!

Hoping dinner won't be too much of a challenge. DD and her husband are coming down for the afternoon and we will probably go out for dinner. Maybe they'll let me choose the restaurant and we'll have fresh fish. Both of my girls are petite and have no weight issues so they do the infamous eye roll when I mention trying to have better eating habits. One day they'll be my age and have health issues then they'll understand, just the way my mother told me it would happen to me one day. LOL LOL Of course it was never gonna happen to me cause I'm "different". To be young and naieve (sp?) again. Missy how many weight watcher points are those vitatops? I sometimes see them in the grocery store but don't buy them as I'm not sure about them, my biggest health issue is diabetes so I usually skip past muffins.
You know I do not know how many points are in them. I just know they have 100 calories. Their website is www.vitalicious.com maybe one of us can find that information on their site. I will go there now to see what I can find. If I can't find it, I will call them.

How come my husband, who wants to lose twenty pounds, starts eating a salad for lunch and has dropped 7 pounds, and I eat 1,200 calories or less a day, excercise daily for an hour or longer, only drop about a pound a week? (It took him a month.)
You don't have to answer, this is just a rhetorical question. I know the answer, and it stinks :? I just wanted to vent a bit. I didn't want to focus my frustration at him as he is really supporting my losing weight. I'm lucky.

lived in Kyle, s.d. for a spell, and our treat once a month was going up to Rapids City.... loved it there,however, our visit always included a trip to fine restraunts, and that was easy to justify dessert even....oh, LOL, wish I had left all that dessert and fry bread alone!!

Hello Everyone. I signed up for this challenge to keep me on track. I never loose much weight at a time but over time I have been loosing. I have read all your post and got some good ideas. I want to give you a site I use often www.eatingwell.com Many goos recipes there. Another tip, have you tried turkey hot dogs? I know they sound terrible but the ones I use only have 45 cals. Using them lets me have them on a roll.
Keep up the good work everyone and keep up all your ideas.
