Snacking at night used to be one of my downfalls. I found that I can tolerate those skinny pretzel sticks and have started to include them as a snack. But I'm sometimes snacking on them in the evening, which is a bad habit for me to resume. I'll try straight Water at night. Gotta nip this in the bud...

I usually have one of my yogurts at night if I'm hungry. 80 calories and 12 grams of protein!

You look great!! Are you at goal??

I think I am but my scales I've used are packed. I haven't weighed myself in months. I need to make a new dr visit on out new base and get weighed. I am very curious to know myself.

Well you look fantastic, lots to be proud of. Having been a military brat I understand how hard it is to move all the time. What it does help with is being able to accept change. I love change and attribute it to that.

This is my 1st pcs and it's taking a bit to adjust. I've cried about every day as I haven't been this far away from home in my life. Also moving from Fl to CO is a bit of a weather shocker too. Thankfully we are getting settled more and will have a house on base available the 28th so all our things can be delivered. TLF housing until then.

Thank you for your kind words

Wow! I agree that snow in places where you dont have the right equipment can be bad! I was seeing that Atlanta had snow troubles too. Must be exciting for the kiddos though! Be safe!

Well since we don't build snow days into our school calendar, we have to make them up. So, back to school tomorrow, and the kids have been out for 4 days....it will be trying!

What yogurts are you all eating? They all seem to have so much sugar and/or carbs and I dump. I've been thinking about it with granola since Dorian's post! :-)

I've been eating the dannon lite and for Greek yogurt. Peach and pineapple are my favorites. They are 80 calories and 12g of Protein. I add some granola or puffs for crunch or texture at times. Sometimes even dehydrated chickpeas.

This is what I eat too! Most have around 9 grams of sugar or less which is the lowest of any yogurt I've seen ; and believe me, I've checked just about every single one Walmart had!!! Took forever too! I believe the carbs are around 9 grams too so not bad and they taste so good! Caramel macchiato. ...yummy!

Found an example of nutrition in one flavor. Better than I was thinking!

Happy Monday!!! Well it is for me since I don't work!! And I won $100 on the big game last night! Four more pounds until ONDERLAND people! I weighed 203 today! I can hardly believe this. I seriously thought I'd never get there. When that scale says 199 I will be the happiest I've been in a long time. My goal is to get there by the 13th when I go see the back surgeon for an mri and follow up. He has never had a patient who had bypass and is always so amazed when I go. Hope Monday treats everyone good! ♥
