In regards to the amount if WF dressing, I remember an older thread where it was brought up that the label can say 0-0-0 even if, say carbs, are 0.5. So just keep that in mind when you use those products.
As far as Canadian bacon I'm not sure. If it's not on the Phase1 sheet then I personally wouldn't eat it.
Hope everyone has a good IP day! Keep on keeping on, my friends.
I just want to say thank you so much to everyone that replied to what i said. I am sitting here in my cubicle all overwhelmed with emotion from all of the support. I have a strong support team in "real life" when it comes to other things but i have never had so many people know EXACTLY what i am going through with dieting and have them say it's ok we did it and you can too. nobody ever seems to understand. I thought this forum would be something new and different that i could use as a tool, i never thought that it would mean so much to me and so quickly. I don't think i would be able to do this without you guys! i am back on my mental track of determination and satisfaction with this process. THANK YOU!!!

I love reading all of the posts. This group of women and men are the BEST when it comes to the boost that we need, as well as the reality check that we need. My BF is not as verbal about my accomplishments with this new way of eating as his family has been, which is a bummer. But I come in here and read about everyone elses triumphs and tirbulations and I see myself in so many of their stories, I don't feel alone in this. High fives to all of us!!!!
abtogo Consider getting tested for soy allergy. I found I was mildly allergic to soy and there are only about 3-4 products that don't have it in them.
Canadian Bacon We actually had this discussion just a few days ago bu if you're new you likely didn't catch it. My coach, how is fairly strict, said it's OK but in moderation because of the very high sodium content.
Hi all, I had a rough day yesterday afternoon. I found out that my friend that I've been with for for 28 years (wow! long time) was diagnosed with colon cancer and liver cancer. She's going to do chemo Jan. 13 and she has 2 kids, 6 and 1. I was just bawling yesterday just reading her posts on Caringbridge. Normally at a time like this I would have turned to food. Sweets mainly and comfort casserole dishes. Well, not this time!
I just started cleaning a lot and ended with a soak in the bath which I haven't done in forever. (bath, not cleaning ) I was proud that I wasn't even tempted for the food, just had to keep my mind occupied with something else.
Linden, I'm going to go for a walk around Walmart in a bit since its cold out, thanks for that tip a few days back.
Hello I been busy and not stopping by as regularly as I used to.. but I just wanted to say to all the ppl not sure if this works.. or wanting to stray.. don't! This does work and its so rewarding! Keep up all the good work, change your interaction with food and throw or give away those big clothes from the former you! Enjoy all the new things you can do, all the energy and all the shopping for smaller clothes… and mostly.. Remember how you felt before and.. Compare to now…hold on to that feeling it will keep you going and make you not wanting to go back! It's a life time battle but worth fighting!
It's been 5 months now.. lost 90 pounds and more to go Never thought I could do that… but im there so can you!
Personnal achievement of the day: im 3 sizes away from not being in the plus size stores for pants.. And got some XL in a reg store the other day! The thrill!
@douger963~~Being from the northwest, I started worrying about my big morning espresso on the way to work on this diet. Then I started adding up the monthly costs associated with my 4 shot 20oz americanos w/ cream. Holy smokes I've been throwing out about $120 a month in coffees. The other thing that concerned me was how much milk or cream they were really putting in my morning coffee on this protocol. So I invested in a Nespresso so I'd be in more control of what goes in my coffee and to eventually save some money.
Now the best thing about this, is it comes with a frother. I also bought some decaf capsules. My morning meal is a Vanilla drink I froth up like a cappucino, and 3 shots of espresso. Absolutely fantastic, my coffee and breakfast all in one. Well I discovered tonight for my last snack, I can make the same drink with decaf espresso and the chocolate drink. OMG! Talk about night cap!
Yum! I've never heated a pudding up yet. This sounds great as I love coffee too. I have a Keurig and use decaf in the evening. Will try the chocolate with the decaf hot. Sounds delish!
I'm a P NW'er too over here in Port Orchard. You know how we love our coffee.
You are doing so well. Love your commitment. Keep up the good work!

I know tirbulation isn't a word; and I know it's a typo. But it's a great word. I think you may be on to something.

Amy, I am so very sorry to read the news about your dear friend. I will keep your friend, her family and you all in my thoughts and prayers.
You are coping well on the food situation. Take care of yourself by eating well! (((hugs)))
