  • I know what you mean. I love veggies I don't even count them. I've never heard of anyone getting fat off of veggies. They have alot of minerals, water, and vitamins.
  • What numbered plan is Gold with lites. What is the breakdown?
  • Okay, finally back!

    9/16 Plan 3

    Breakfast: 2 slices WW bread, 1 small tomato, yogurt & fibre 1 cereal (I was hungry!) 2S, 1V, 2D
    Snack: Frozen fruit medley - blueberries, raspberries, peaches (2F)
    Lunch: Lite & LC pizza (1L, 1S, 1P)
    Dinner: Taco salad, (2V, 2P)
    Snack: Air popped popcorn with ICBINB (1S, 1F)

    This leaves me 1 veg, 1 fat and 1 fruit short, I'll try to fit them in somewhere.

    S: Sm V8 - 1V

    Evidently, having a menu planned vs actually eating it, is two different stories... yesterday I missed the Mini Delights - 1S, but had a slice of bread with dinner, so I'm alright. The Mini Delights is still sitting on my desk here at work, and so is the small V8... since I didn't measure out the vegs I had for dinner, I'm just gonna call it even...

    B: Yoplait, 1 peach - 1D, 1FR
    S: 1 apple - 1FR
    L: LC - 1S, 1P
    S: V8, Mini Delights - 1V, 1S
    D: Grilled Chick Salad, raisons - 1P, 2V, 1FR
