Haley 0 Posted October 29, 2009 No, we dont have lots of the stuff (supplementes and so) that you all have. The Dutch are not really "into" that kind of thing. Also here they cant sell as much over the counter as in the States. I do have to say, I have an (over) abundance of muscle, so losing some, would not be a problem :lol0: Last night I had some musshie potatoe and later on soms yogurt again. After 4 "bites" I had to put it away, couldnt even look at it anymore without wanting to belch it up. :cursing: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carolyn24seven 11 Posted October 29, 2009 yeah know the feeling, I get four bites down and that is it. I am doing better getting a 1/2 to 3/4 cup of Soup down. Any watery based soup that I blender I can now eat more than a bit of. Kinda nice. Soup is comforting. Sometimes in the middle of the night if I am up, I have a cup of broth. I can get almost all of it down before it gets too cold. I am choosing the lo sodium kind so I do not get the ankle swelling. I bet you do not have as much muscle as you think. I bet you have "fat" around your muscle making it look larger. My calf muscles are huge to me, but as I loose the fat around them they are looking smaller. I love the pict of you on your horse. Maybe you should try some streaching exercizes when we can. To lenghten your muscle look. Yoga? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haley 0 Posted October 29, 2009 Ah! As we speak I'm making some blended chicken soup!:cursing: haha! Yeah, Soup goes down well!:lol0: No, I seroiusly have too much muscle, well, not too much, but for a girl I have al lot of natural muscle, even before when I was thin(ner). My sports massage guy always says I should go into body building :scared0: but I'd rather ride :wink0: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted October 30, 2009 I was very bad today. I ate about 6 pop corn balls. They were so yummy. It says right on the package that they are 100 calories each. So I had 3 Protein Drinks at 120 calories and 25 grams of Protein so my calories weren't that bad even with all those pop corn balls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownInSocal 12 Posted October 30, 2009 I need to get posting in this thread again. I will try tomorrow. My new favorite thing is ham rollups. I mix some light cream cheese (i like the whipped), spinich, chopped artichokes together. I spread some inside ham slices and roll them up. I pop 2-3 in a ziplock bag and lunch is done!

Chancie 65 Posted October 31, 2009 I've been working Midnights, so my eating is OFFFFFFFFFFFF!! Plus they're working me to death! The up side to it.... I lost 2 more pounds!!! WOOO HOOO!! Social...... The rol ups sound yummy!! I wish I had read this sooner, I would have taken that to eat at lunch, but it has been hard trying to eat at 2 am. so I have some broth, it's soothing.

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted November 1, 2009 Where do you get chopped up artichokes? I eat ham rolled up with some sort of cheese pretty frequently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malaika 50 Posted November 1, 2009 that's one of the things that goes down easily for both Bearded and I - either ham and cheese roll-ups or turkey and cheese rollups -- sometimes I use cheddar cheese and sometimes I use laughing cow -- I found it the other day in french onion - it's yummy. When Ruthi was here, we thought about mixing the laughing cow with ricotta and seeing if it tasted like french onion dip--just never got around to it, so maybe I'll give that a try tomorrow.

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted November 1, 2009 I love all those laughing cow cheeses. I really like Kellogs Multi grain garlic and herb crackers. They are pretty low calorie for crackers and I love to spread laughing cow cheese on a few of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chancie 65 Posted November 1, 2009 I'm really surprised all of you can eat lunch meat this early out for you... I had trouble with it, just didn't go down right for me. Daisy- If it's the same thing I'm thinking of, you can buy canned artichoke hearts at any grocery store, and I guess just chop them yourself. I make a wonderful dip with them, but not " low calorie" LOL but I sure do like them!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted November 1, 2009 Can you buy the artichoke dip already made? I have some artichoke hearts in jar, but not sure what to mix it with to make dip. I will be very good today and eat right due to my pig out on sugar yesterday. I am shocked that when I weighed myself this a.m. I did not gain any weight. It must have been the hour of hard cardio in the morning that helped with that, because I had so much junk food on Halloween. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
attitudefree 2 Posted November 1, 2009 where do you find the hummus packet y'all are talking about? Is it small prepackaged hummus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownInSocal 12 Posted November 2, 2009 Chancie: I just chopped up the artichokes in the jars. I rinsed them well though because they are packed in oil. I can't find any packed in Water. The spinich I run through the bullet to chop it up smaller. Also I chew like there is no tomorrow when eating lunch meat. Attitude: I bought snack packs of hummus from costco. I have not found them at all Costco's though. You can buy small things of hummus in most grocery stores here. You could divide it into smaller containers. I use the 3 oz dipper cups made by Glade. Daisy: You could buy dip premade but I make it myself so I know what is in it and can control fat and calories more by using light cream cheese. Also "dip" in the traditional sense might get too runny and make a mess. Cream cheese stays put in the ham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted November 2, 2009 thanks! I like to use the flavored cream cheese spread on ham too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
