Had my second WI yesterday and lost 5.5 pounds !! So excited ... AND it was a surprise because I stayed off the scale for the entire week ... YAY!!!!!

Good morning everybody!

Carol - I've been looking for rhubarb too -it must be the air or something. I finally found some in one grocery store, frozen, near the fruits (even though it's a vegetable).

I have never had rhubarb before - what do you all do with it?

I did manage to put a little fresh kale in with my spinach smoothie, and with the chocolate syrup, you didn't taste it.

I too, could not sleep last night and didn't wake up until later than my norm, but that's the way it goes. My hands were hurting from the stickers on the vines I'm pulling out. Need to wear bandaids and better gloves, I think...

Back to work I go, pulling vines, clearing out the carport for pressure washing tomorrow! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

I take it out of the bag and put it in a bowl to put in the microwave for about 3 minutes (this is for 1 bag of 1 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb) and after it comes out of the microwave I put it in the blender and get it to a consistency I like.. I hate eating it as stalks..yuck! Then once it's at the consistency I like I'll put it back in the bowl, mix in about 2 tsp WF blueberry or strawberry syrup to cut the bitterness (you can use a packet or two of stevia or splenda to do this, too) and cinnamon. YUM!

Good Morning Everyone!

I have been weighing myself every day...need to stop! :0

I have a greek dressing which is less than 1 carb. The fat and calorie content is the same as using oil on my salad. I need to look again at the nutrition facts to see what kind of oil is used. Anyway, I had some last night on a salad and it was really, really good. I added 1 oz of feta (didn't have any milk yesterday!).

Anyone else experiment with other dressings besides WF and olive oil/vinegar?

Had my first WI last night, down 7.5 pounds in 3 1/2 days (I started on Sun. but my coach wants me to get to Wednesday WI's so it wasn't a full week, next week will tell the tale.) I have been sick for the past couple of days I have a terrible cough but I still don't feel terrible. I have been drinking hot tea I find it helps but I am not getting in all my veggies. Anyway hopefully I will feel better soon I am on strong antiboiotics. I hope that everyone has a great OP day.

Yay! Cassie, Congrats!!! This morning I saw a 0.2lb loss - finally the scale moved My weigh-in is on Saturday too!

Welcome and good luck! This has been a great journey for me and I think it will be for you too!

Good Morning Lilone!

I do too! But I love my coffee!

Awesome! Keep up the good work!
I had DH hide the scale this week. I am so addicted to it but I want to be surprised at my next weigh-in. I will let you know how it goes!

Welcome and I hope you feel better soon!

I had one new lamb this morning! I still have 2 more ewes to go! I love babies, they are so cute!
I hope everyone has a great day, stay motivated because summer is almost here!

Woo hoo! Love seeing that scale move! GL to us on saturday!

Edit: Looks like we have the same stats. Good luck on your journey and keep me up to date on your progress!

I am soo ready for the weekend. I have a baby shower to go to. Please let there be a vegetable tray or I will be forced to roll in with a protein shake and a salad

I am trying to put a before and a 3 month later pic on my profile any help would be appreciated. hope everyone is having a good day.

lets see if this worked

SCORE!! lol, they had the Rhubarb and I bought 10 packs of it, a guy in the aisle chuckled and said you sure do like that stuff huh? I said I dont know yet, I never tried it. He looked a littled puzzled

It took me an hour to get there and an hour home so i stocked up.

Just chiming in on the rhubarb. I, too, am in the South. Here in Louisiana the Baton Rouge Whole Foods has both fresh and frozen rhubarb (bought some of each yesterday). I doubt they carry fresh year round, but it is definitely there right now.
In the frozen section, they had it with the fruits and not the vegetables. It is in a light brown colored bag.
Hope this helps!

When I was a kid, my mom would cook the rhubarb and ad sugar to it, it was more like a sauce. My husband loves rhubarb pie and i think I will try the raspberry jelly added to it. I think I saw a recipe for a crunch made with oatmeal on top. I haven't been able to find it in the stores yet but soon, I hope.

Good morning everyone! Congrats on all the WI victories and food-finding victories! Have a great OP day!
