I am very excited that I lost another lb. I am sure that watching my carbs again so carefully is what has made a difference!

I like the Aitkins caramel but wish that they could also be heated. I am a coffee and tea drinker.

Early on in this thread Losingjusme informed us that we could get them at Amazon.com. I got mine within a few days. I am unsure of any other place to get them.

Congrats Denise!!!!

Thank you! I am very excited to be only 5 lbs from my goal. Now my goal is not to gain anything over the weekend. That's my downfall. If I am around people eating bad things, I have no willpower. I am getting better, but it's so hard. I wish the junk food would get stuck and make me sick.

My daughter had gastric bypass and if she eats anything that has too much fat in it or any sugar, she gets very sick. I think that would be a big help.

I sorta ate junky today.

Breakfast Kashi Crunch Cereal. It's high in Fiber and whole grain. I have to eat 1/2 cup before I work out with my trainer or I get dizzy. I put ground flax seed in it.

Lunch- cashews from the dollar store

1/2 an Atkins bar

dinner will be half of a South Beach frozen meal, chicken and broccoli.

I've been keeping a food log for my own benefit to see what I've been eating over the last few days. I plugged in the numbers last night and was horrified by how much fat I was eating. That kind of scared me, so today I made a conscious effort to lower my fat intake. I did good today except for the treat I allowed myself, Starbucks!! :smile: I get fat free, no whip, and only 1/2 the Syrup. Still had 29 grams of carbs. I couldn't believe it was that much. I would have guessed at least 10g less. Oh well, now I know. What an eye opener.

B- coffee w/ sugar free Creamer

L- Thai shrimp Soup with lime and cilantro

S- Soy Protein Shake (1/2 skim, 1/2 water)

D- Chinese steamed chicken w/ broccoli

Slip-up - Cafe Mocha

Delo, they are Atkins Caramel Latte shakes. I ordered them on Amazon as well.

I did well today and stayed away from breaded foods.

b-eggs (OMG! I thought I would be able to tolerate them since I had .2cc's removed. I did not PB but it took a while for them to go down.)

l-3/4 cup chili

d-cheeseburger (no bun)...little bit of ketchup

snack: sugar-free caramel latte from Starbucks. Only carbs are in the non-fat milk...about 12.

Hey guys, just checkin in. I'm still at the beach and I'm having a great time. I haven't been counting carbs, but I'll get back on track next week. Ever since we arrived at the beach, my restiction has practically vanished to none. I though I was at my sweet spot but I don't think so anymore. I'll be ready for another fill when I get home! I didn't read all the threads because I was soooo behind, but it looks like everyone is doing great, keep up the great work!
