So uh fiber, eh?? Ya ,I don't really do that !!!Hehehe!! I guess I should pull that flex seed out of the back of the fridge I used to take the omega 3 also but I don't find it to be benifical.I have been contemplating buying All Bran cereal,I hear it's good,but I am skeptical...can't be any worse than Grape Nuts cereal!
Hey Jen, way to go, standing up for yourself!! I am sooo proud of you Hun!!!
Hello to the rest of ya!!!!!
Any results yet,Kelli???
G'night all,Wendy
Yes Bobbie I would be interested in keeping track of fiber, you sound like you know what your talking about. How do you take your oils, I use lots of flax oil, i add it to everything when I cook, how do you take it. What is your favourite fiber
I made some great FIBER soup this week, Every bean I could find in the bulk store, Soaked them all night, cooked them a bit, threw them all into a crock pot with veggies and turkey mmmmm good, now how do I count the calories and fiber in a bowl of homemade soup????

I would like to take this oppertunity to say thank-you to all of the lovely ladies on this thread,without you it would not have been a sucess! Tonight I took the time to go back to where we originated from "A FEW GOOD FRIENDS" in the support section of 3fc. Some of you have been here with us from the very begining and some are new comers,and I have to tell you that every single one of you have given me a reason to continue with my own personal weightloss and diet journey!
To all of you that have posted on the old threads,please take the time to go through them,maybe it will help to get you to get motivated once again,it sure helped me!
And to all the newbies,please feel free to check out the fabulous progress we have made together as "A FEW GOOD FRIENDS"!
Good Night to all!

It's really simple but time consuming to get the exact calories in your homemade soup. Weigh all the raw vegetables individually, then calculate the calories. Do the same for the meat, beans, etc. I weigh the finished soup, convert it to ounces and divide the total calories into the total ounces. You then have calories per ounce. If you don't have a food scale, get one. You can buy inexpensive digital scale at WalMart or anywhere. They make life soooooooooooooo much easier. I made up a food chart of things I eat often that I could send you, everything is in ounces. For example; Apple, raw - 17 (put your pitted apple on the food scale, if it weighs 4.7 ounces, multiply that by 17 = 79.9 calories) I have all kinds of fruits and vegetables on the list, plus many other foods and it's very handy. I have the list on my computer so it would be easy to send it to you if you're interested in being a calorie geek like me.

Bobbie thanks for all the info, I will have to re-read it, very informative, I have to buy a food scale for sure, If you would send me that list I would be very grateful. I think that would really help because when I mix food together I get really mixed up on calories.
Way to go Tiff and Andrea,!!!!!!!! your are inspiring me, and I need lots of that
