The cookies and cream bars are good!

Ok, I had refused to use the cereal package because I saw the "add water" too. Glad to know it has powered milk. Gonna have this for breakfast in the morning. I started 3 weeks ago and I have had it that long...lol

I love the cereal with a couple drops of vanilla stevia. Chocolate stevia is pretty good too for something different, but i like the vanilla best.

Carmel Nut is the best!!!! I am not a big fan of the bars that have the rice stuff inside. I like my bars dense. And anything with carmel is a favorite of mine :D

I just tried an interesting experiment. I made the pudding muffins, but did something different. I beat the 2 egg whites until they were stiff (made almost 2 cups of whipped egg whites), I added a tiny pinch of cream of tarter to keep the egg whites full. I made the pudding as directed AFTER the egg whites were done and then folded in the whites before the pudding set. Poured it into a greased 5" cake pan and baked 350 for 25 minutes. It puffed beautifully and flattened down to be about 2.25 inches tall (5 inches around). The texture was very similar to angle food cake, and the serving was huge.

I would do the same. I am going home to a small reunion with my high school church youth group (can't believe I said yes). Anyway, they have something EVERY meal! I am going to bring my food and eat each meal at my mom's, then go and socialize with my glass of water. I feel confident it will work just fine.
Have fun :smug:

[QUOTE=bttrhalf;4384211]good morning everyone, felt pretty cruddy when I woke up this morning but doing better, day 5 OP, only had one cup of coffee, but having tea right now. does anyone know if we can use Granulated Honey as a sweetner?:dizzy:

If Granulated Honey is dehydrated Honey, it is no different than sugar, which makes it a huge NO

I see you've already been answered John; the H in dear H stands for husband. But the D can be dear, dratted, dorky, dim or darling, whichever adjective matches the rest of the sentence.

This is a new one on me, I can't find it in any of the IP literature. Perhaps another old-coach's tale?

What is it with these coaches who want to tell us a very respectible loss "isn't enough". Crimenetly, mine does the same thing, though mine doesn't want to add packs, she wants to subtract.

Milestone WI today!
 

WI Today, lost 1.8 lbs. which has officially put me at 60 lbs. lost since Feb. 22, 2012! AND, I am breathing down ONEderland's neck! :cb::dance::cp::dancer::comp::cheer2:

Yay! I'm starting phase 2 next Tuesday!!!!!! I'm so excited! My measurements are less than when I weighed 130!! I'm so pumped!!! Down another 1.6 pounds and 1 inch today!

So yeah, no loss for me this week. .2 gain, actually. :(

I just don't get it.

Hopefully next week is better.

I envy all of you so much for having the WF syrups :( They don't sell anything similar here, and ordering them online is a complete pain because here they are very annoying and strict with ordering liquid things through the mail.

I just really wish I had some maple/strawberry/blueberry syrup to put on my pancakes. I make pancakes almost everyday but all I put on them is butter-flavored spray, then sprinkle stevia powder and cinnamon on top. It tastes good but it would be amazing with some syrup.
I don't even care about the dressings, I'm fine with my garlic powder and olive oil.

I just finished my delicious salmon and asparagus for dinner and I am so proud I made it! I had a debacle for my snack today because I made the orange drink and thought it was disgusting :( so even though I already had a restricted, I ate about half my soy nuts in desperation. I was feeling hungry and we went to the dog park so that I could distract myself. We ended up staying a very long time.

So usually I will stop at Pancheros or Baskin-Robins on the way home from the park. My stomach was growling because I waited too long to eat, but when I got home, I popped dinner in the oven and had a big glass of water with some lemon and Splenda to tide me over. Success! Feels pretty impressive to me :)

I bet you could buy the maple flavoring and make your own syrup with stevia or splenda. We frequently used the maple to make syrup with sugar and water.
WI went fine lost 4 pounds, but hit the -50 benchmark at home this morning.
I hope to make it to the 40s at next WI and do not have far to go.

102 here today.

Sounds wonderful! I'm a grandma, too! i will share- because I just found out today that I'm going to be a grandma to #5 in February!!!

Measuring Asparagus
 

I love grilled or roasted asparagus - but I'm not sure how to measure it. I don't want to chop it up in order to measure it. How does everyone else measure asparagus?

Thanks for any help.
