Stacy:
I ate suffed pepper during TO, I used one whole pepper and count it as 2 veggies.

Yum Milca, that sounds good. I am doing TO Wednesday and Thursday. Maybe I will try that.

Katie:
Girl, they are really good,:hun: trust me when I'm doing TO I look for all the resources that can help me feel full. ;) :D

Milca, have you previously posted the recipe for the stuffed peppers? If not, would you? :thanks:

Sherry:
I posted it before, I don't remember what page of the recipe thread, but Girl we are all here to help each other and I will post it all the times that you need it,:hug: Google is not gonna help you on this one,right: ;) :lol:

STUFFED PEPPERS: (for TO)
1 whole green pepper
6 oz ground sirloin
1 clove of garlic
salt to taste

Pre- heat the oven at 350 degrees. Cook the meat with the garlic and add salt to taste. Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds, Then when the meat is no longer pink stuffed the pepper with the meat. In a baking dish, place the stuffed peppers with 1/3 cup of water in it and cover it up until the pepper is tender . ( the idea of the water is to create some steam if you cover it up with aluminum paper make like two or three holes on the paper).

If you are doing this recipe and you are not doing TO, you can add 5 green onions when you are cooking the meat and also when is almost ready in the oven you can add cheese on it.

Thanks Milca!! :)

Okay-maybe I wasn't clear-call me a ***** if you want . . . .but I've discovered the SEARCH THIS THREAD function on this website. If you open up the LA Recipe thread and then hit the search tab (under the thread title-there's a thread tool bar) and type in stuffed peppers, you come up with several recipes=including Milca's. This is a valuable tool in the recipe thread-you could drive yourself nuts searching through the pages. I found it last week when I was trying to find the peach shortcake recipe.

Hey-giving info on the website tools is being supportive too! ;)

Knudsen's Juice and Luna Bars
 

Okay, so I finally found the Knudsen's Morning Blend. Am I supposed to dilute that like the TakeOff juice? It doesn't appear to be a concentrate (even though it says it's made from several concentrates). :?: Hey, I wanna get it right if I can buy 2 bottles for 3.49 each instead of 23.95 for one of the TO!! Teachers are poor!! What do you all do?

Also, I was checking into the Luna bars to replace the lites. Has anyone noticed that the sodium is sometimes double or higher than the lites? Everything else seems to be pretty comparable, but I don't want the sodium to affect my weight loss. What do you guys think?

Holly- Check out the thread called "Newbies please read" at the top of the page, it will answer a ton of your questions.

Thanks. I never read that thread since I have been here before. :^: I guess I will have to keep checking back to all the threads as much as I can. With a newborn it's hard to find time to read them all. Thanks for the tip. I will have to make use of the search this thread. I never really noticed that one, I only saw the search this forum and that always gave a bunch of results.

We actually just added all of that stuff a couple of days ago.

Cool idea though. It helped me with some of the acronyms. Thanks!:)

Holly-Another center approved sub is 1/2 cantaloupe per day of TO or 4 oranges per day. This is my preference as I lose just as much and feel fuller. My best TO performance was using 1 cup of watermelon 4 times a day, but I think that's not "official."

A NEWBORN...and you are trying to follow the plan. Bless your heart, girl! I remember fixing a sandwich or something and finding it several hours later and being surprised like the food fairy left me a little treat...and don't think I wouldn't eat it. It is SO hard to take care of yourself when you have a newborn, but that is the time you really need it the most. Good for you...and your lil one!

Milca :rofl: girl you are too much.

MMMMMMMMMMM, I can smell that little newborn head from here:) :)

You people are killin me talking about doing this diet with your newborns. You chicks must really have it together, because I was still in a zombie-like state when my son was that old. More power to ya, ladies!
