yes you are doing very good alffe.
and yes it is stricter than the current thinking.
that since fiber is un digestable you can subtract those carbs that are fiber from your total carb count. All of the current books say this.
You are doing very well on this diet!!!!!
I am so glad that It is working for you.....do you take a multivitamin?

Went for a family bike ride - boy am I starting to feel this biking!! When I go out to meet my girlfriends for our book club I'll get a Skinny latte at Starbucks. I love these skinny's - they are tasty with way less calories and fat!

I have nothing but admiration for anyone who can follow a strict diet and stick with it!

Alffe, I'm so envious of you!! Good job!! Doesn't it just feel so good to get back into clothes that used to be too small?

Well, I've taken a Provigil this morning so I'll have some energy to clean this house and it always zaps my appetite. I ate an Activia and a piece of whole grain roast before I took it.

I've got to stop weighing every morning. I should just pick a day and weight once a week at the same time. But, I did weigh this morning and I'm down another pound. I think I'll start weighing each Saturday morning and keep track that way. My weight fluctuates too much during the week.

Good luck to everyone trying to diet this weekend!! I'm cooking supper tomorrow night for my two boys and my oldest's GF. Both boys requested meatloaf, fried okra, mac n' cheese, mashed potatoes and Key Lime Pie. I think I better take a Provigil tomorrow, too!

You are smart not to weigh everyday Kitty. I was stuck for almost a month at the same loss.....20 lbs. Finally yesterday I dropped another one but it's discouraging so like you...I'm going to pick next Sat. before I weigh again.

Karousel I admire you for riding the bike! I just can't seem to get on the treadmill....no excuse, I just don't! Maybe today I'll find an old movie and climb on it.

Bizi, that soup is to die for!! Well, that's a little strong but we loved it. As predicted, I had it cold and Mr.Alffe had it hot. He kept saying, "what's in this?" so I handed him the recipe.

No vitamins...but I take Vit.D, 1200 every day and drink V8 juice daily.

Alffe...remember when curious would tell us about the butter sticks, 4 sticks equal a pound..... think about 84 sticks of butter that you have lost!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe how good my organic fat free horizen milk, tastes!!!!!
happy easter all!

glad that you liked the soup...I will have to try making it. did you use v8 or tomatoe juice and how much cilantro did you use the receipe doesn't say...my guess is 1/2 cup?????

That will help me a lot, too, Alffe. Just knowing that I'll post here what my loss for the week is will keep me on track.

I used V8 juice Bizi...so glad you like that milk! 4 sticks of butter = 1 lb!

Edit to add...a little bit of cilantro goes a long way with me so I'd say about 1/8th cup....max!

I'm getting on the treadmill right now!!! That old movie Ghost is on and that will entertain me.

Saturday it is....truth be told...no peeking ahead. *grin

Alffe...Good for you for getting on the tread mill!
How does your back feel?
I walked on the treadmill and swam in the pool, swimming makes me pant so I know it is good for me.
I can't swim freestyle one lap with out stopping but am getting stronger...stay the course.....How old was Herman when he was still swimming? in his 90's wasn't he?

Built up an appetite....whats for dinner?????

*whispers I will try to weigh only on saturdays.....
