just wondering if anyone was interested??? Seems to have quieted down a bit

Just got the call that my first order has been shipped today. Went shopping yesterday for some of the L/G stuff. Trying to get aquainted with the program plus this is my first time chatting online. Thank goodness I have a 14 yr. old to help me out. Hope y'all are still interested. I'll probably have alot of questions.

I got a call today that my first order ship also! I'm getting really excited about it.

I think I'll need to go get a scale for my L&G. I know what everyone says about how to gauge the size of a piece of meat...like four ounces is about the size of your palm, etc...but I've always wondered, what about the thickness? Has anyone else used a scale? Do I really need to be that accurate?

I use a scale! It was an old one my mom got at weight watchers... but it is really helpful for me to know how much something weighs... I have no clue if something is an once of 5 oz!! I was actually pretty happy that the lean part you do actually get quite a bit of food! I like my scale alot, plus it keeps me honest in how much I eat rather than guess-timating!

I have a cheap little plastic one but I think I'll get a better one. OMG I saw the neatest one on The Today Show yesterday. You put the food on it and put in a code for what the food was and it gave you the nutrient info. for that portion size. It seems it cost between $30-50 but I was reading the paper at the same time I was watching. I've got to see if I can find it on the show's wedsite.

Ooo! That sounds nifty! If you find it, can you post the link?

I found it!!! I hope it's not a rule violation but it was the Kitrics Digital Nutrition Label Scale, $39.95 at QVC.com. I am soooo getting one.

The rundown on the stuff that was on the show is at http://www.msnbc.com/id/238723831. Gadgets that Help you Lose Weight by Dr. Joy Bauer.

I don't think that would be a rule violation. I think they just don't want us posting links to personal sites to make money off of fellow 3FC'ers. I've seen several posts with links to work out equipment, so I think you're safe. If you do get banned...they better ban me too for asking you to post it!

Oh! And thanks for posting!!! I will definitely check that out!

Good luck. Let me know when your shipment arrives. I can't wait for mine. Hopefully this is something I can do working 12.5 shifts on a haul truck. I sure need help with eating better for me foods. I'll check ya out later.

Ah! It's waitlisted. I guess the hype from the Today Show paid off for QVC! It's also on Amazon, but it's $50...don't know if I want to shell out another $10 + S/H for it. Maybe I can find something similar someplace else...

I use a scale too but it nothing fancy!

Yeah. I'll just use what I have till later. I sure hope my MF gets here soon. I've just been offered training at work and after 3 weeks in class I'll be working my butt off for at least 3 more weeks and I don't want to take a major jump in excercise level. The program said wait 3 weeks, so it should work out just about right if the stuff gets here sometime this weekend.

Oh, wow! I just had the peanut butter bar and that thing is dangerous! I might have to lay off of the bars...
