    Thank you,

  • a 4th a cup of greek yougurt with mix berries and oatmeal on top 150 cals
  • a few actually. Popcorn is always a favorite, especially with the flavored salt. I like the Jalapenio is my favorite, but they have kettle corn if you like something sweet. Also, measure out a serving of pretzles and dip them in mustard. I love dill mustard, but I like all flavors. Cut vegetables with flavored yogurt dip. high fiber cereal with skin milk. a little low fat cheese and crackers. low fat yogurt with fruit and a little high fiber cereal.

    The important thing is, make it something you like and something filling. And measure out your serving. If everything is measured out into ind. baggies it makes it much easier.

    Good luck to your cousin. Tell her to come and join us.
  • When I first began my weight loss journey, I needed crunch and volume. To satisfy these, I mixed a tablespoon of ranch dressing in 1/2 cup of salsa, and dipped "free" veggies into it. Helped immensely!

    Lynn, you are a good cousin, reaching out to help her like this!

    Special K cracker chips - I like the sea salt variety
