I went for my normal Subway sandwich on Friday night and there happened to be a KaleidoScoops Ice Cream Shop next door. I asked if they had fat free but all they had was low fat sherbet.
I opted for one scoop of the lemon custard. I figured I would bite the bullet on points. When [...]

I have found tortillas that are one point each. They are wonderful to make fajitas with.
You can stretch one chicken breast out by cutting in strips and sauteing with lots of strips of bell peppers and onions. I add taco seasoning mix and hot salsa while it is cooking. I don’t use cheese or sour [...]

I have been following this plan so closely since joining in
September. Doing all the basics. Trying to make sure I
have all the fruits and veggies, water, milk, olive oil,
whole grains and lean meat everyday.
One weekend when I failed to take in all those nutritious
foods and ate a couple fajitas and drank wine instead, I
figured I [...]

I guess I made up for the slight losses the past couple weeks. I almost fainted when they told me I was down 3 1/2 more pounds.
90 pounds gone!! I can hardly believe it.
Thanks for all the well wishes from my friends. I don’t think I could have made it this far without the help [...]

For the first time in 11 months I feel like I fell a bit off course over the weekend. I had a couple more glasses of wine than I had water. I still watched my food intake but didn’t track it in black and white.
Even though I got back on track Monday morning, facing the [...]

I have been trying to talk my daughter into healthy eating for her family. Since I have learned my lesson, I want to spread the word. I want her to avoid the same mistakes with her kids that I made with mine.
I figure if she doesn’t have the crapola food in the house, they won’t [...]

The only constant in life is change. Life is one big roller coaster with many ups, downs and loop-ta-loos. Change is the main reason for the stresses we have in our life. But on the upside we have to have change for the good to come in also.
This weight loss is a positive change. But [...]

Going down this road I have learned quite a few things. I think this area is one worth sharing with the people who have lots of weight to lose.
The first 50 pounds I lost, almost nobody noticed. My conclusion to that is: the weight I lost was internal. I think I lost the fat that [...]

I was visiting my daughter yesterday and she rarely has low calorie foods in her house. She was fixing tuna noodle casserole. I knew that would blow me all the way out of the water.
I found a cup of fat free cottage cheese and a can of tuna. Mixed them together and oh my, I [...]
