HI kitty I read somewhere that sugar is a problem with a lot of the processed foods especially
HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!!!!!
evil I say!
bizi:eek:

Thanks! I'm going to make that soup. :)

I eat the Cherry flavored Activia....here is the nutritional info on it: http://www.activia.us.com/popup_cup_cherry.html

Are you doing the low carb diet? I've done that before and lost about 45 pounds!! Gained about 20 of it back (thanks to the meds and bad eating habits) so I'm working to get that off now.

Went out to lunch with sister..

Salmon, cottage cheese, & broccoli/calif. mix.

Yes Kitty, I am on that old carb diet...very similar but stricter than Atkins.
Am allowed 60 grams a day...meat is gram free and so are eggs. So far I've lost 21 lbs in about 3 months.

It looks like Ativia has 19 grams ...that's about 1/3 of my daily intake..Hmmmmmm

thanks for the info.

Went to store after lunch and will begin making soup! *grin

OMG!!! Mom!!!
that is fantastic weight loss!!!
that is great!!!!
You have been following the carb diet...how is it stricter than the atkins?
does it recognise fiber as a deduction from your carb count?

Atkins lets you eat more. That soup smells like it would make a dynamite bloody mary!! Will taste it in the morning. :D the soup that is..not a
bloody mary.

I wish they hadn't quit making those tiny cheese tidbits....I remember counting out 15 of them...only three grams. Now pork rinds have no grams but they aren't as good. And I am missing fruit...:( can only have cantalope and it's terrible this time of year.

I was actually able to go to applebees and have a steak dinner=
7 oz of sirloin steak with asiago cheese on top
2 boiled potatoes
1 cup of mixed veggies.
all for only 390 calories!!!!
or if carb counting=26 carbs!!!!!!!!
It was very good and satisfying.
alffe
that soup would probably be good hot or cold.
I hope it is good, I have never had it before.

Congrats Kitty on your loss!! Alffe - canteloupe is one of my favorite foods. Like you said this time of the year it's not as good but I've been lucky and we've been finding ones that have tasted pretty good -- better than not having them.

I tried on my shorts since I needed to wear them today and they fit! Last summer they were all too tight. Now that the nice weather is here my DD is really getting me moving. We have been going on long bike rides, playing basketball and just getting outside and doing stuff. Then I've been doing yardwork, cleaning the garage and not spending time even being on the computer. I may have to stop calorie counting because I won't have the time with how busy I've been! And I love it.

congratulations karousel!!!!!

It is hard sticking to counting calories!

why can't you have fresh strawberries?
one cup has 5 carbs I think if you subtract the fiber carbs...I think...

1 cup fresh strawberries has 13 carbs. I don't know anything about separating fiber carbs...I have this little yellowed with age carb book and
I follow it faithfully because it works for me.

Karousel I have been very unlucky finding decent cantalope...I smell them, ck color, they are rock hard and tasteless! I've tried buying ready cut slices..it helps to salt them...LOL

Indiana has WONDERFUL cantalope in the summer...can't wait! 1/2 melon only has 8.3 grams of fat.

Biz I love cold soup on a hot day...your Dad will want it heated...it is on the menu for lunch.

Kitty....are you making soup? *grin
