    i agree, though, that the foods get tiring. i haven't yet been able to find any buffalo (any recommendations, ladies from lincoln?),
    Leah --

    HyVee at 70th & Pioneers has ground bison in the frozen food aisle. Also, the fresh seafood place just south of 48th & Highway 2 has bison shipped in fresh daily.
  • there's a fresh seafood place?! gosh i am bad at groceries, hehehe

    thanks for the help! maybe next time i weigh in, i'll skip over to hyvee and get some buffalo. where in the frozen food aisle, perchance?
  • Quote: does anybody know if braggs amino acids (4 soy sauce) is legally allowed on the meta slim plan?? i bought one & my counselor said a big NO though i remember seeing it on this site --
    One of my counselors recommended it for stir fry. Also said to try the orange supplement on chicken with stir fry veggies, with ginger to make an orange chicken dinner. Haven't tried that yet.
  • well have to go weigh in today wish me luck not really feeling it today
  • You can also find the bison at the Super Savers on 27th and Cornhusker and 48th and O. Just bought some yesterday.

    Leah,
    I shop at the Hyvee on 84th and the buffalo is in the frozen section next to the frozen seafood and frozen ground turkey. You can also get buffalo at Leon's on South street. I think that's raised in Nebraska, but, it also comes frozen.
  • OH leon's is pretty close to me! so is the super saver on 48th. thanks for all the suggestions and guidance, lincoln ladies
  • well went to weigh in today and to my surprise i lost 2lbs! this week and last week have been really hard for me i just feel like giving up and then i go weigh in and i loose 2lbs! i think i just need to fight a little more!

    Way to go Alisha! This will help build up your confidence in yourself too, see, you CAN do it! We all go through moody blue times so find some non-food treats to reward yourself for this 2 lb victory over not giving in. (Manicure, facial, massage - something you wouldn't ordinarily do for yourself - go ahead, you deserve it!) Congratulations, jeanette
  • congrats, alisha!! i am soooo hoping for something similarly amazing to happen when i go weigh in on saturday. last week was only a half-pound loss, so i've been trying REALLY hard this week to kick it up a notch, but i'm not sure it's making any difference. send me some of that two-pound magic

    Yeah! We need those losses to remind us why we are going through all this. I love the NSV but sometimes you need the numbers to move.
    Double dust to us all!
  • ali,

    Sometimes those are the best kind of losses. The program can work even though you're not thinking about it too much.

    Leah...Super Saver at 27th and Pine Lake also have fresh buffalo. I tried it once and didn't care for it. It isn't cheap per pound, I would rather spend it on fish instead. jmo

    I keep saying I'm going to experiment with all these wonderful recipes, but just don't seem to have the time, and weekends past by way too quickly for me to plan anything. But I am in a rut, and stir frying chicken is getting boring. I've got to try that great chicken recipe.

    Breakfast is still my biggest problem...I have to force myself to sit down and eat eggs. The pancakes aren't doing it, and the French toast is good for once every couple of weeks. There has to be something else I can do for breakfast. If I could just eat a bowl of oatmeal, I would be so very happy.

    I found a new item for breakfast..grilled cheese. I took a piece of bread, toasted it, sliced it in half, sprayed with spray butter and used yellow american cheese and then cooked in the skillet using the Pam Butter flavor. Yum!

    Noahsmama...oh you are wonderful...I never thought of that...but yes...I could have that and enjoy it. My menu calls for 3 ozs. of cheese though...that's alot for one slice of bread. But I will figure something out...now I am looking foward to breakfast tomorrow...thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Are we going to get Jennifer back on here....I miss her.
