Weird eating day for me:

Late breakfast/early lunch (brunch?) -- low fat/low carb tortilla wrap with turkey and swiss, 1/2 bag of Baked Lays, banana

Late lunch/early dinner (linner?) -- baked potato with FF cheese and FF sour cream, milk

Then I don't know what else tonight after getting home; maybe we'll go out and if so, I'll have a big salad.

Well I had an OK weigh-in! I lost 2 lbs this week, my sister-in-law who I am going with, and I , both have one more lb to lose to get to our 10! yay :) It was cute at the meeting... our lady passed out these little straws, and we all had to say what was our "last straw" to join, it got me motivated again. I taped the straw to my fridge :)

WAY TO GO BRIDE! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: You must be thrilled :encore: - and so close to the 10 lbs mark!

Love the straw idea - very cute!

Keep up the good work!

Angela, I love malt o meal -- but is it okay with Splenda? I should get some and start eating it for breakfast. Talk about sticking with you til lunch! That'll do it!

Kathy, I eat Farina which is the same with Splenda and it is FABULOUSO!

Thanks! I think I'll get some and try it!

Yep. Almost every morning I cook up a bowl of Malt o Meal (which is like farina with a little malted barley). I add a splash of skim milk to the cooked cereal (I like it sloppy), around 1 1/2 tsp. Splenda, and half a cut up banana. Yum!

Of course I've never seen or heard of this stuff - malted milk cereal yum yum - only kidding!

Hey Frannie - seen any of these stuff round your neck of the woods? I have seen red river cereal? (anyone tried that?) and of course oatmeal and cream of wheat!

Will take a closer look next time - just in case! - wouldn't want to be missing out on something really yummy? :):)

I was raised on Malt o Meal and when my sister moved to North Carolina from Texas, she couldn't find any so I would send her boxes and boxes of it. :lol: In fact, I think I'll stop at the store on the way home from work!!

I just got some of that Red River cereal, and it's nothing like Malt o Meal. It's OK, but I don't think I cooked it long enough. Malt o Meal is very similar to Cream of Wheat (which is farina). I just ran out of my box of Malt o Meal though, so it's on to the plain farina box. I guess I'll survive! :)

Angela

Okay - I like cream of wheat - did not know that was the same as farina - altho the malt-o-meal with the barley sounds pretty yummy! Might try the red river one day when I'm feeling adventurous...is it Core?

Frouf:)

I don't know about the Red River cereal for sure, but the only ingredients are cracked wheat, cracked rye and whole flax. Sounds pretty CORE-like to me!
