Thanks so much

All,
Just came back from the movies and at the popcorn counter I saw they were selling "Kernel Season's Popcorn Seasoning" in these little .9 oz containters that looked much like Land O Lakes Seasonings containers which have been pulled from the market.

Rainbow and Molly, look at this website. www.kernelseasons.com and click on Popcorn Seasonings.


They are both made in Elk Grove Village, IL and as I still have the original Land O Lakes version of all 5 flavors sold originally and tasted what I bought tonight at the movie theatre and compared it to the Land O Lakes version... very similar with nearly identical nutritional stats.

At the www.kernelseasons.com website (after selecting popcorn seasonings), you'll see they offer a web special where you can buy 4 and get the 5th free (5 for $15.99) of the 2.85 oz size (Land O Lakes sold a 3 oz container). Noted they also sell 14 flavors (i.e. pizza, chili lime, jalapeno, white cheddar, bacon cheddar, milk chocolate caramel, caramel, apple cinnamon, cajun, etc.).

Check the stats, these would need to be used very sparingly. However, Rainbow and I were just lamenting on how the Land O Lakes product info was pulled from their website, product was gone...my guess, and it's not confirmed, is that the product has been resurrected as Kernel Season's. (Yes, that's how they spell it, including that apostrophe). I used these with great success on IP in 2012 and am thrilled they are back!

This is such great news, I will probably repeat it tomorrow on the weekend thread so interested folks don't miss it, given how late in the day this story is breaking. (Can you tell I'm excited?)

They have a store locator on the website as well.

Birthday girl! No cake for me butbi did have a sugar free Popsicle. It's a nice treat. I made three hit fudge sundaes for the kids after dinner tonight. I didn't have the urge for any. Kylie, my 5 year old was excited because she knows for birthdays the staff will make a sundae for you and sing as they bring it out in laughed and said no cake for daddy. She said you have to its your birthday. I smiled and said nope I was down four pounds today and that's four pounds closer to our trip to Disney.

GeauxTigers, so sorry you had to go through that. I left my eye doctor because of a similar experience. Funny thing, a week after I had it out with the office about the terrible service and experience, I "won" a monthly contest and got a gift card to the local grocery store. Used the gift card, still switched doctors.

I believe that is calories for chewing, not swallowing. Things are released from the gum when you chew it, and absorbed by your body when you swallow your saliva.

Time to bake the cookies!

USMC, happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Vet and Nolawhodatchick!

Yes, forgot Happy Bday to Nolawhodatchick as well!

ROFL!!!! I guess it's an EXTRA happy birthday for you!

RE: your sticky thread - she added it to the Newbie sticky thread, the link to it is called "Restaurant Woes". it's there!

It was a great birthday.

I'll stick it out with her. She means well and is trying to figure things out for me. Like someone else on here said, It averages 3 lbs a week so if I look at it that way, it's all good. It just gets frustrating seeing all the great success from everyone and my body is not responding the same. I'm in it for the long haul. The support here is AWESOME

THANK YOU for this recipe!!! It was just what I needed. I forgot the oil so I probably messed up the consistency just a bit, but it was yummy anyway. I have a feeling it's better in chocolate...just because I love chocolate!

I had IP cake, Vet! Sounds like you had a very fun no-cake celebration too! Hope you really enjoyed your day

Im excited. This site is so cool. All the advice and all of the alternative..Yes I love it..I know this is going to work.

Happy Birthday, Vet and Nola! I'm super late to the party - it's been one of those weeks!

I agree with SD, the rich dark chocolate is great (much better than chocolate fudge in my opinion). The other flavors I like are vanilla (I add cinnamon to it) and the cafe caramel. I like to blend mine up with ice to make it super cold.

As others have said, don't stress about it. You made the best of a bad situation and I'm sure you will be fine.

Congrats on the loss and sorry about your coach. But I don't think it's a bad idea to try walking to see how you like it. I exercise 5 or 6 days a week. 3 days are weight lifting and 2 or 3 days are walking (3 or 4 miles) or some other lighter cardio like elliptical or bike. I always eat 4 packets a day and on my weight lifting days I also supplement with some extra protein and a hard boiled egg or egg whites. If it has slowed my losses, I haven't noticed it and honestly the stress relief alone is worth it. Just listen to your body. Some people get weak or fatigue easily and can't really push it. Other people have no problem.
