Shelley I am glad that you are posting your food. Do you think that you are eatting enough fruits and vegetables in the day? I know that the lazana has veggies and I am not sure how big your salad is.

Gayle the last few days I have had over my limit of points but that is ok because I am low somedays too. If you had a few high days that is in the past start new tomorrow. You are doing so good with your walking. I have not been on this board when you have posted any walking miles. I don't know if you did before I started posting but I want you to know that I am so happy and proud that you are. You can do it.

Thank you Dee! I use to walk all of the time, to the point I would get very upset if I couldn't walk...I missed it. But over the course of having Allison and other home stuff, I just never make the time. I'm taking little steps to make it a habit once again.
I think I also figured out why I "think" I am so hungry. I looked on the calendar and I am about a week away from the big P. LOL!

Dee-My bowl of lettuce is the size of a large serving bowl, and I eat 2 of them!! I know I should be eating more fruits, though. Maybe when I run out of frozen yogurt I'll replace it with fruit. Thanks for the tips. You are so on top of things!!

Shelley, have you ever tried a tossed salad with chunks of orange or a small can of mandarin oranges tossed into it? I like it with a raspberry vinigrette dressing. Some people even add apples to their salad.

Do you guys want to do a monthy food thread (like the exercise thread) or would you prefer to number them and change them after they get to be 3-4 pages long? I know for me, it isn't a hassle to get to the last page, I just click on the page number next to the subject.

Gayle-I don't really care how we manage the thread. Either way is fine with me. I haven't tried fruit on my salad. That's a great idea. I'll give it a try.

Shelley, did you like the lasagne? I have tried that brand and it's not too bad. The meatloaf one is good...comes with broccolli/califlower and a cheese sauce. The only thing I didn't care for, it had a little bit too much sage seasoning for my taste. I really like most of the Healthy Choice entrees, I pair it up with fruits or veggies. I usually try to stay away from the frozen complete dinners, I don't care for the texture of the vegetables.

Wow Shelley you eat salad like a rabbit! It doesn't both your IB, all that fiber?

Gayle you are doing great.

I think that I should start posting to make me accountable for what I am eatting. The last three days have not been good. Not sure if I can sit that long but I might give it a try today.

I'm happy to see you posting your foods Dee! Do you use regular peanut butter or the natural/no sugar added peanut butter?

Gayle I just use the regular peanut butter. I know that no sugar is better for you but then I would be the only one that would eat it. I don't eat it too often though. I will post when I feel that I am losing contol of my eatting.

Dee-The lettuce doesn't hurt me when I am remission. I stay away when I am flaring, though.
Gayle-The lasagne didn't thrill me--too much oregano or something. I wasn't crazy about the Boca lasagne either.
