Goodmorning All: Thanks Aleka for telling me about the thread for Canadian products. I spent the morning there and found out I am really doing this all wrong!!!! Acording to the site I can't have chrystal light, pop or diet jello. Most products in Canada are sweetened with aspartame. There is a pop at costco (kirkland brand) obviously brought in from the USA that is legal except it is not caffeine free. I have told you all that I love pop. Cola soda I don't care and to get my water in I use crystal light in my bottled water. I have a diet jello everyday, sooooo it looks like I am really low-carbing not SSing. I will continue to do as I am. Two years ago I lost lots of weight doing just what I am now. I guess this is a case were ignorance is bliss. Oh well, maybe next week I will drive to Buffalo from DD's ( an hour away) and pick up legal sweetener but I will think about it as it seema a lot of effort for something that might not make much of a differance. Nikki I was able to find out were I can get pork rinds but when you told me what they were it groases me out. Found a lot of great recipes and will check back a lot Hi Anne, TGIF!!!!!!! have a great weekend. Hi Judy. Well off to clean out cupboards and drawers, it just dawned on me with the trip to DD's next week I don't have much time to get ready for the move back to Wasaga. Talk to you all soon

Good morning,
I've spent most of my morning trying to fix my computer problems, but it gets stuck and then won't move. Then, I have to turn it off and reboot and start all over. I'm really getting frustrated with this thing.

How is everyone's weight loss going? I weigh myself in 2 days and I'm wondering what it will be. I have been eating everything in sight, but it's all been legal food. However, I do feel better than I've felt in a long time and that means a lot.

Aleka, maybe we should start a 4am chat for all of us night owls? Actually, I'm sleeping better right now than I have for over a year. I'm not sure why. Are you taking afternoon naps? When I can't sleep very well at night, I always try to lay down after lunch for about 1/2 hour, it seems to help me.

Lynn, some people can use aspartemine without any problems and some can't. I am still eating jello on occasion. I generally use Spenda though when I add it to my cooking. If your not having any problem with it (if it's not effecting your weight loss), I won't worry about it. I am a water drinker, but it took me several months to get to be one. I use to be a heavy pop/coffee drinker. What I did was, just once or twice a day, especially when I was really thirsty, I'd just drink a bottle of water instead of the pop. Then, I would sometimes substitute iced tea. Gradually, I increased it, decreasing my pop. Now, I don't drink pop at all. I seem to have lost the taste for it. I like the clean, refreshing taste of water and tea better. I still have a few cups of decaf with cream a day, it's my after meal treat/dessert.

Our weather is still fantastic. Now, I'm really starting to wonder about it. We never have weather like this for this long of a time.
I have to go pick some vegetables. Still have lots of tomatoes, beans and zucchini out there.

Hi Anne, hope your day flies by and you can get some time to relax this weekend.

Hi Judy

Take care everyone, Nikki

Here's a website Rondaren (she posts on the SS boards) did.

http://www.geocities.com/ss_recipes/

There are alot of old SS recipes here from the boards before they were shut down. I don't know if you've posted this before, Aleka.

Nikki, thanks for the website. I may have had it at one time, but when that virus hit the computer, I lost all my favorites. I don't think I ever posted it. Thanks again.

Hi All, Just wanted to report and tell you that I have had much more control of my appetite since reverting to Low Carb.I've been doing this for 2 days so far. Hoefully I will start shedding pounds, I haven't really done any plan just been eating mostly meat, cheese and veggies, and low carb soy milk. Too bad I don't live closer to Canada. I read on another board where the grocery stores have all kinds of products sweetened with Splenda. I'm not sure of the regulations on taking things acrossed the border though. I think they've gotten stricter. My prayers are with the people who live in Florida. I'm not sure if we have any that posts on the board. Hope everyone is having a great day, Judy

Good morning,

It's been raining here for a while. It has been rather muggy here for the past couple of days.

Judy, glad that you appetite is under control. I have a cousin who has lost quite a bit of weight doing her own low carb WOE and not following any specific plan. I'll be moving to Florida on Tuesday. DH & I picked a good year to move.

Nikki, good luck with your weigh in. If we did start a chat at 4:00 am some morning, that would be the time I'd sleep until 6:00 or so. I was so tired yesterday, that I did sleep through to at least 5:00 this morning. Sorry that you're still having computer problems. I was telling DH about your computer problem. He was telling me that he read on some of his boards that some computers with something called an AMD chip have been having problems with the new Microsoft SP2 update that is supposed to take care of security flaws. This is all jibberish to me. Anyhoo, he said there are some websites you can go into to find more about the problem. I'm not sure if this is the update you downloaded. If it is, let me know, and DH can search the posts he saw on one of his boards to find out if anyone had posted the websites to go into and what they are.

lynn, if you drive to Buffalo, they're certain to have Waist Watcher soda (which you call pop). It's made in upstate NY. The WW soda is caffiene free and made with Splenda. They have all sorts of flavors to choose from. DH & I drink it all the time. Also, if you can find Diet-Rite, they're also caffiene free, made with Splenda, and come in a variety of flavors. If you like pickles and can find them in Buffalo, I don't know if they go that far. They're called Mt Olive, which are made in North Carolina. They have some pickles and a sweet relish made with Splenda. I am addicted to their gherkins. I have also seen posts of a jello mix called Jolly Roger that is made with Splenda. But, I don't know where it's distributed. We can't get it in NH. If the jello you're using works, and you enjoy it, keep using it. I still use the jello and on occasion I still eat the SF/FF pudding mix because I like it. I enjoy having dessert and I feel these have less calories than some of the SS desserts. I still have to watch my calorie intake.

Hi Anne hope your day at work wasn't too..too stressful and that you'll have a nice restful weekend.

Have a great Saturday
Aleka

P.S. I just went into SS website. There is a post there by MaryAnnT, and it's called I really feel like I have to say this. It's a very good read, very inspiring. I've copied and pasted it do read whenever I feel my enthusiasm lagging.
