Sherry: Yes, with Atkins I could have the BB ice cream, not with the Stillman plan though :mad: I have not had any ice cream in about 2 months. BB makes a new round sandwich cookie, you should give it a try. It is no sugar free * no sugar added/fat free, really yummy!!! Your Walmart super store should probably carry it. In fact I believe I have a sleeve or two of those things hanging out in my freezer now. :lol:

Gayle....:wave:

You can have Blue bunny Ice cream on Adkins??? How many carbs does it have? See...You have got me excited?? And I'm going to Walmart today...LOL.

**Gayle.......Remember, We don't have BB in TN :( I sure wished we did!! Tell Steve to get his booty down here!!! :lol:

CORRECTION!!!!!!!

Gayle.....Debie just sent me the link to BB!!! We do have places here that sell it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cp: One place is about a mile from me at Scot Market!!!!! I'm so excited!!! I will check it out!!!!!

Most of the BB novelties will be marked as sweet freedom or health smart. Deb, you will just need to look on the back at the carb count. I am not that familiar with the carbs for BB, I try to avoid it like the plague.... it's a trigger food. Lucky me, our busy season is about ready to hit!

Gayle.....I checked the carb count on the Blue Bunny Sweet freedom and it was a little high per serving. Around 15 or 18 grams but it would be great for mainatance. It was low in fat and calorie count for all of you low-fat and low calorie people!!

BUT... I did find a low carb frozen dessert!! It made by Goldenbrook, called Le Carb~~~ They have several favors, Strawberry {which I'm eating now} :p Choc almond and Vanilla. I plan on trying all of them with just 6 carbs per serving!!

hugs...deb

Saturday...

Breakfast {brunch} .....burrito w/ eggs and cheese :cheese:
No lunch
Dinner....BLT salad w/ ranch dressing

snack...2 Michelob Ultra BEERS!!! :p
2 oz Mixed nuts

Sunday...

Breakfast {brunch} 2 eggs scram w/ cheese bacon & sausage
Lunch...none
Dinner....Grilled chicken small salad :cbg:

Snack...Low carb Strawberry Ice cream by Goldenbrook :T ...Felt like I was cheating...what a good feeling...LOL

Diet tip......Never :nono: buy a BIG can of nuts when you can only have a small amount!

Hugs...Debbie

Sunday:

Breakfast: 2 Slices of Toast (plain)........1/2 C. Grapes

Lunch: 2 Cups Chicken Stir Fry

Dinner: 2 Grilled Porkchops.......1 C. Green Beans

Snack: Frozen FF Yogurt

**Debbie.....Wish I had a Michelob right now....and I don't even like beer!!!) :lol:

Debbie: I forgot to mention, yes, the BB ice cream has quite a few carbs. Check out the BB sweet Freedom selection of novelties such as bars, sandwiches etc. They have a lower carb count. There are even a few that are 2-3 carbs per bar.

SUNDAY MENU

BREAKFAST/BRUNCH: ground beef with scrambled egg

LUNCH/MID AFTERNOON: Cottage cheese sweetened with splenda and cinnamon

DINNER: Egg drop soup with chicken breat diced in it

SNACKS: None

Tomorrow is weigh-in day for me, wish me luck! BTW: Day 8 on the Stillman plan.

I'm not going to post my menus for the weekend since those are the days that I carbo load. I did finally buy the truffles on Saturday. Guess what? They really weren't all that good. I had one and put the rest in the freezer. I had some nice strawberries also.
I have a question for those of you who eat the Pur-delight bars. I was looking at them and read that they have 18 grams of carbs. Is this the same thing you were eating? Just curious.....

Yes Ramona, but you minus the fiber and sugar alcohol. For example: 1 bar says 17 carbs, fiber 1 gram, sugar alcohol 14 grams. Minus the fiber (1) and sugar alcohol (14) to make a total of 2 grams effective carbs. I hope this makes sense! I was like you, I couldn't believe all the carbs when everyone kept saying they were low carb!!! I have tried the pure de-lite and Atkins indulge bars, all are good. If you like peanut butter cups, give the Atkins cups a try.

Most of the bars will list the effective carbs on the front of the packaging.

Hi girls:cb: :cb:

I'm a little confused about where to post my WEIGHLOSS!!! So I may just post it on all 12 threads...LOL.

I lost 3 pounds this week!!! :flame:

Notice:

Starting on Monday after Easter, We will have only ONE thread for a Challenge (ex: Memorial Day,4th of July, Labor Day etc.)On this one we will post our MENUS, CHALLENGE and WEIGHT LOSS!!!!

How are you guys planning to eat on easter? I have "concerned" (nosey) relatives so I plan on eating Atkins plan but placing a few non-Atkins food on my plate, then mixing around so it looks like I ate some.

Sherry just looking at what you ate today I added up 21 weight watcher points. I think that you should add a bit more calories to your daily intake. At least 150 to 200 calories. If you eat to lean your weight loss will slow down.

Hi Floozies and Happy Easter!
I'm back from our visit with my mom in the San Francisco area. We had a nice visit and I stayed OP! Didn't lose any more weight (I'm thinking I'm still paying for straying on our camping trip). I lost 8 lbs. of my 11 lb. Easter challenge. I've lost a total of 15 lbs. On to the Memorial day challenge.
