SIGS - I put the hummus recipe on the recipe thread, compliments of dla, it can be tweaked to meet your specific plan requirements. I likely will skip the chicken. The cilantro will certainly take the place of the tahini for flavor. I will be trying this over the upcoming weekend. I'm a total hummus junkie and portion control will be my challenge but I have to face it because I need a fix. I can do it. Thanks dla for sending it.
Thanks! I LOVE hummus, too. There's a mediterranean restaurant in Houston that we used to go to just for the hummus. I know that tahini is one of the impt flavors, but what exactly is it and why isn't it legal?
This is me <----- a wee bit smaller! I seem to be loosing my rear end and legs, but the tummy is hanging on! Soon I will look like a pumpkin standing on toothpicks.
It has been an odd week, I havent been feeling real well, cant put my finger on it, just under the weather.....and though I have not been off plan as far as eating the wrong foods, I havent really been on plan either, cause I am not drinking enough....so I didnt go for weigh in on Monday, but Im going Thursday...and am thinking that I may get a great big boost of - FOLOW THE PLAN EXACTLY!!!!
Congrats on everyones loses this week!!! Way to go

Just how does everyone post a reply with multiple quotes from different people especially when there are multiple pages of posts? Some trick I haven't found or are you using multiple windows?
Every time I reply to someone, I get shot to the end of posts and then have to backtrack & figure out where I left off. Frustrating.
NSV yesterday: Went out to dinner with hubby & some of his office staff. Those dinners are my big times to drink. Didn't touch a drop Stayed totally OP all day. On of the ladies did get sort of annoyed with me, tried to tell the waitress that I WOULD have a drink & bring me one. Funny, because the few times she hasn't had a drink, I don't give her heck!
Of course, I got up this morning & GAINED two pounds I know it was overload at the gym yesterday & all the extra gallons of water I drank at dinner trying to be good. Even though I KNOW that, it is still depressing. I really only need to weigh myself on Mondays after I haven't been to the gym in a few days. The same thing happened a couple of weeks ago, folks started telling me I looked smaller, I felt smaller, but the scales were up. I really just need to get out a measuring tape, but I can't even do that accurately.

At the bottom of each message is the quote box and next to it is a box with a large " mark. That is the multi quote. Just click on that on each message that you want to reply to and they will show up!

You may be literally "under the weather" - we were all feeling a little headachey around here the last few days, realized it must be Fay & her pressure system messing with our sinuses.

I don't know if it's a 3FC thing or a Mac thing, but I found that when I post a reply, if I use the browser "back" button the first click takes me to the box where I typed my reply, the second takes me back to the post I replied to. That saved me some aggravation, especially when I get a few pages behind!
SIGS - 5HTP states it is for mood support, the center sold it to me because I was cranky and had trouble sleeping. It contains hydroxytryptophan and the does is 1-4 at bedtime. I take 1 however not on a nightly basis.
Thanks all for the tips on the Liquid Minerals, I'll have to check that out on our next trip to Sam's. The bottle I have is from my starter package the 1st of June so has lasted quite awhile. I use it only if I feel tired and run down.
Does anyone take the MSM, what are you thoughts/opinions on that supplement? SchoonCR?
I have to be honest, I am not sure what MSM stands for. Let me know.

MSM is methylsulfonylmethane.
I started taking it earlier this week and I'm not sure what I would notice as a difference. From my research online it is supposed to help with the regeneration on new healthy cells.

I take the Trace Minerals from the center and it is not to bad, I only take it when I need or remember to take it, It works ok but not for long maybe a hr or so.
I updated my weight loss pictures on my profile, It is crazy how you look so dif. in the pictures but I guess when you look at your self everyday you really don't notice the change.
Great weight loss everyone,
I am going to give my self a min. goal for the rest of the week to loses 2 pounds for the week. I am down .5 as of Monday so maybe I can get that other 1.5 pounds off by Friday......
Thanks! I LOVE hummus, too. There's a mediterranean restaurant in Houston that we used to go to just for the hummus. I know that tahini is one of the impt flavors, but what exactly is it and why isn't it legal?
Tahini is ground sesame seeds, 8 grams of fat per tablespoon and something I am sure is not allowed so I won't even ask. My DH makes the best hummus I have ever tasted even at the middle eastern restuarants but he uses alot of tahini, I think it also adds to the texture. I think an excellant hummus can still be achieved without it though and intend on finding it. I will look at it, taste it with my finger as I recite portion control in my head

I've done that, but I'm always afraid it will do something to my post. I guess I just need to get use to this format.

Thanks. I'm a do-do sometimes. I clicked on the multi-quote but nothing seemed to happen--until I clicked on the regular quote button afterwards. I guess it just takes a bit of poking around.
