And you texted her back...."she sure is"!

Wonderful! Congratulations on your success!

@@dlappjr I will be looking online! I love vita cost. I order a lot from them.

@@dlappjr Ummm NO! Where did you find that?!

@@dlappjr What do you use for syrup? I would have to add frozen blueberries to that!!

I bought this yesterday to try. I've never had it. I'm hoping it's like malt o meal. It had less carbs than malt o meal and the Steele cut oats I was eating. I would only be able to do 1/2 a serving so it should be fine. I'm not against carbs I know we need them to function I just don't want to eat them in excess and I want the right carbs. I have some maple & vanilla extract to add in. This cute little elderly lady stopped me in the store and asked me if I was looking for "healthy options" because she noticed me reading all the labels. Then she proceeded to tell me some. The whole time I'm thinking "don't look in my cart, don't look in my cart" because my kids are NOT on the label trend so all the crap food was theirs. She went on and on and I was thinking lady if you only knew I was 110lbs fatter 10 months ago. I got this. But I didn't I just listened to her and when she walked away she said "make healthy choices honey" . Too cute!

@@Alex Brecher Oh you will get honest opinions! Ha! Thanks for the coupon!

I went to the "power crunch bar" website and you can sign up for free samples!

Oh BTW when you go to search for the bars make sure you put "power" and not just crunch bars......stupid nestle and their stupid chocolate bars raping my eyes!!

@@dlappjr lol! No thank you! Sounds like a choking hazard and I'm not going out with a PB cup in my mouth.....especially not a FAKE one!

I have 5 tubs of that stuff, out of all the flavors I've tried I liked the peanut butter cookie and strawberry mousses ones. What did you try? I use the coconut almond milk for mine.

Has anyone tried the bariatricpal bars? I saw them on the FB site. I didn't know we had them. I know @@Alex Brecher said they were opening up a store. Is that part of it?

@@dlappjr I saw those peanut butter cups at GNC but I passed on them. Glad I did now.

Like this one I made for dinner night before last. It was fabulous and I added turkey meatballs (pre-made) to it for added protein. My kids went crazy over it. Winner! I used my cheese grater for the zucchini.

We need recipes and pictures! I like pictures! And easy recipes....not the one with all the funky ingredients that you have to leave the country on a month long mission to find!

@@Babbs Ok then. I will look for some. Where did you get them?

@@proudgrammy You're so funny! Yes they have gas makers in them....that's not the professional term for the ingredient but it's the one I'm going to use. When they make a statement about how to "ease" into eating them I pulled the plug. I'm not going to go through all that drama to eat a dang bar!

If you don't eat enough your metabolism will crash. It's your bodies natural "survival mode" tactics to keep you from starving to death. Your body will hold onto and store whatever fat it can get. It happens to me a lot when I don't eat much then I will eat something high in fat and calories and by the next day I've dropped a few lbs. you need to kick start your metabolism back up....and poop, you need to poop.

@@Babbs No. Do they make you a gas a** ?! I can't handle that anymore!

Are you eating too fast? Air can get trapped between food bites if you eat too fast. I know I'm the worlds worst!

@@Babbs Me too Babbs. That's why I drank shakes so much! I've had a lot of down time just focusing on school and not picking up many hours so I'm trying to work on eating "real" food. It's not easy!

@@JamieLogical They screwed up our bars! I'm not doing bars anymore either. They aren't agreeing with my stomach.

@@Bufflehead You're so lucky to have a Trader Joe's!! We don't have one. I lived at that store when I was on contract in Baltimore! I've decided I don't have to eat "breakfast-type" food for breakfast anymore. It's a hard realization for my brain to process.

Ha! That's wonderful! You'll be "normal" before you know it!

Good Friday!!
