My net loss (I gained back some -- long story, but suffice it to say, I had a broken heart) is 92 lbs. And I want to lose another 80 lbs.

Wow! That is great!

Thanks -- I give all the credit to God! It's a miracle -- an answer to prayer -- a diet that's perfect for me.

Yes, God deserves all the credit, doesn't he?

Yep!

I can't believe how rich tasting Hills Bros. Double Chocolate Mocha Cappucino mix is! So rich, it tastes like a chocolate milkshake (when made in the blender with milk, ice, and Splenda). Mmmm!!! I can't believe I'm on a diet!!!

New snacks to add to the list:

1. Fage yogurt w/ fruit (I add 1 Tbsp or so of Starbucks sugar-free caramel syrup and a dash of cinnamon with fresh peaches or blueberries and Splenda)

2. Bolthouse Farms Cappuccino (has 10 gm protein per cup)

3. Shirataki Alfredo (Adapted from Hungry Girl's recipe: make the sauce with 2 Tbsp fat-free half and half, 2 Tbsp grated parmesan, 1 Laughing Cow Light Cheese wedge, some garlic, a itsy bitsy pinch of nutmeg, dash of garlic powder, and salt & pepper to taste) -- add chicken, crab, or shrimp for a meal

4. Apple & Cheese (Or baked apple with melted cheese on it)

5. Tzatziki w/ pita

6. Jell-O Sugar-Free Temptations Mousse (Mmmmm!!!!) with sugar-free whipped cream

7. Banana Bread

Recipes

Banana Bread

Ingredients (makes 16 small slices):

1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
3 tbsp. Promise Light Buttery Spread
1/4 cup applesauce
2 medium very ripe mashed bananas

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine dry ingredients. Combine wet ingredients. Combine wet and dry ingredients :) You know the drill. I left my batter a little lumpy because I wanted to be able to see some banana chunks in the bread. Then I poured it into a greased springform pan and baked it at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes (depending on the oven). The bread should be a golden brown color and cooked around the edges.

Shirataki Noodles
This is how I prepare it. Several hours to days before preparing, drain and rinse well. Place in fresh water in an airtight sealed container in refrigerator. Repeat draining and rinsing several times.
Parboil noodles for about 3 minutes. Drain well, and place back into dry saucepan. Over medium-high to high heat, stir constantly until noodles resemble well drained pasta and are no longer soggy. If you skip this process noodles will be very soggy.

ToutDeSuite, You have been on this plan for a long time ( over a year). Are you still following it?

Bev, after trying several other diets, I'm back on it. It's the only one that works for me.

ToutDeSuite, I am also going back on this plan. If you would like to chat I am here.

Bev

Thanks for all the great ideas!

Adding DiGiorno 200 calorie portion pizza to the list. They're awesome!

A few more ideas:

2 slices crisp bacon
sliced tomato

Chicken Carbonara Shirataki
Make a sauce with 2 Tbsp fat-free half and half, 1 Tbsp grated parmesan, 1 Laughing Cow Light Cheese wedge (softened), some diced garlic, dash of garlic powder, and salt & pepper to taste. Dilute with water or a little more FF half and half, if necessary. Stir in 1 Tbsp Oscar Mayer Real Bacon Bits. Add diced cooked chicken and mushrooms. Serve over shirataki noodles.

Hi Bev, how are you doing? I'm sorry, I just got this message. I've never chatted before -- is there a chat room?

Bean Burritos with FF refried beans, low calorie/carb whole wheat tortillas, low-fat cheese, green onion, and salsa.

I found some corn tortillas that are only 25 calories each! The brand is Tam-X-ico's. I make chicken enchilasgna with them (layer tortillas, low-fat cheddar, and enchlada sauces (I mix 1 can of green and 1 can of red)).
