Yea, i do eat taco stuff a lot, the family likes that too. If I am wanting that crunch, I eat the multigrain chips( a few) it's better for the rest of the fam too. I buy the low carb tortilla wraps from walmart and make me a wrap-which w/ cold cuts. Or I just eat the cold cuts rolled up w/ cheese dipped in mayo. Or I eat cottage cheese w/ a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top. I make chicken or tuna salad a lot. Boiled eggs. Wendys chili is a good choice if your out or the chicken nuggs. I eat a lot of cheeses. Omelets.. Protien shakes nearly every morning. I always use the Calorie Countdown locarb milk for me, also the chocolate milk flavor as a treat too. Hope all these ideas help you some!! :thumbup:

Yea, i love salads too and usually eat a lot of salads too. But in the last two months, a ive noticed i cant really eat salad as much. Im really tight now i think. it always seems to get stuck on me.. im really tryn to concentrate on protien now, as i have been at a platuea for a few months as well too. i am 15 months post band and 112 lbs down, so I cant complai, but I still have a lot more to lose, so I gotta get the scale movin!! :thumbup:

That's wonderful!! Good for you!! I know that is the best feeling, isin't it?? Keep up the good work!! :thumbup:

Hello Gang!! I have been MIA for a bit. I don't know, just been buisy, been a little lazy too when it comes to writing it all down I supppose!! :wub: Any ways.. Today is my 1 year Bandiversary!! Everything is great. It's been the best thing I have ever done for myself!! I still have a long way to go. I've lost around 107 lbs, I got bout 124 more to go. But I actually CAN see the light at the end of the tunnel!! My body has changed soo much. I can do so much. But one thing still is strange.. In my mind, I am still thinking I am going to eat like I used to. My husband just shakes his head at me. When we make our plate, he says, you know you aren't going to eat that.. But I still tend to make myself a Normal plate. I guess I am just so accustomed to those old ways. I guess that too will change. I don't know, I just think thats' odd still. I am at a plateau now for a while. I need to get exercising again and logging my food again daily. I tell you, sweets have really been a problem for me lately. I usually tend to be locarb, but whew!:drool: the cookies are killin me!!:w00t: Yes, I kno I am the one putting them in my mouth!! Well, I just wanted to share my big day.

My hubby says I have lost the most from the waist down so far. I have lost up top too, but mostly below. I gotta start exercising again. I have kinda gotten lazy in that dept. But you all are right, we need to check in and support each other. :cool: Catch ya'll later!

I have really been sick last night and today.. This kidney infection is just not letting up on me or something. I absolutely thought I was gonna die this morning:crying:.

I also use the protien shots from walmart they are like 3oz and have 26g protien. They cost $1.97 each, but one walmart in particular sells them for $0.50 a pc. for some reason so I go there and stock up and buy every one they have it's the body fortress brand I also buy my protien powder that brand too. Just thought I'd share.

Hi Lotsabirds, the Hood brand Calorie Countdown milk comes in 2% in a blue carton and fat free a green carton and chocolate a brown carton. It is sweetened with splenda. I buy it at walmart or windixie and I have also seen it at publix here in Florida. It is fabulous! only like 90cal 5 g fat, 3 carbs, 3 sugars, 8 protien, for the 2 % white and it tastes just like regular white milk!! I use it in my protien shakes for anything! I love the chocolate, I blend in some instant coffee grounds and ice and whip it up, yum! TRY IT!! :ohmy:

Hi Kenner, yes I love the calorie countdown milk because the low carb/sugar content and taste. I use it when I make my protien shakes too. The chocolate is great! Hi Bozz! How are you? Nice to see you.. I have been very tight. I think I may need to get an unfill. I have never had to get an unfill before. Nearly everyday, something gets stuck.. And I seem to be at a stand still and even gaining a pound or so. Tuesday- Breakfast- coffee, 8oz ch hood milk, 2 multi grain waffle stx w/ sf syrup, i boiled egg, 2 thin slices ham L- wrap w/thin deli ham, peperoni, cheese, let, tom, pickle, mayo, must, & few pork rinds D-1 hotdog w/bun, 1/2 hamburger patty,1/3c cottage chse-chucked some of it:scared2: S- small bowl of mint chocolate ice cream:wub: I never eat icecream:redface:
