MARIE Hope this helps you. Why not look at EAT RIGHT FOR YOUR TYPE and then choose from this list accordingly. Debbie and Frog have posted in the middle...but you can piece it together.
NYPD.....9p.m. Don't miss it!!!

Yes her stevia was a liquid with a dropper and it had alcohol in it, tasted OOGEY. Um I am bad about name brands I will check it out the next time I go
Yes my brother is incarcerated in federal prison. One of the many stresses in my life the last 2 years. We are extremely close and sometimes think we share the same brain! Very much alike and I miss the **** out of him. He went in May 2000 and is scheduled for release November 2003. Very hard for all of us. The good thing is he is at a local federal prison not far from us so we see him almost every weekend. He is 24 years old.
I am about to post a pic of my husband and see what I mean about the resemblance! LOL
Two weeks in a row that I missed chat.....I am not happy about it. What did I miss?
I have a dentist appt in the am. Just a cleaning. Always love those.
I will post pictures of Cami as soon as I get them
Deb......we have 1 dog (Princess) she is a husky mix. Two cats(Milo and Sweetie) and 2 black angus cows(Lucy and Ethyl). I am still looking for another horse to go with Cami. I need one that is broken and good for a child to ride. Cami is still a baby and needs to grow a while longer before she can be broken.
Exactly how many carbohydrates do you all eat everyday?? I am trying to find something that i can stick with for a lifetime. I am checking out every option.
Quickie, late for bed, will probably be pooped again tomorrow!
Thanks to FROG & BIGK for coming to chat-and hopefully, newcomer SHASTA will be joining us on the board.
BOB, what the heck is all that?!? Did you type all that? My gosh! Can't get you on the board sometimes, but boy-oh-boy, you can type when you want to girl! I know you just used the guidelines and can't be eating some of that stuff! GUESS WHERE I WENT TODAY! FRESH MARKET and I thought of you!!
LIZ, will check out the pics in the morning-can't wait to see the hubby too. I'm sure having your brother in prison is stressful on the entire family. Any chance for an earlier parole? I'm sure it's good for both of you that he's close and gets to see you as often as he does.
BUSDEB, sounds like you are building you own version of Old McDonalds Farm. Cows! Are they just looking cows, or milking cows? No chickens? I'd probably love to come visit you-it sounds like it would be a blast to be around some animals other than the ones that live like humans here in Miami! I'll work on that pic for you tomorrow.
ACES, carbs depends on how many calories you take in. SB recommends approx. 40% of your intake comes from carbs. For me, I eat approx. 1400 calories and I do 45% carbs, which is approx. 155 carbs. This is a WOE you could DEFINITELY stick to for a lifetime-I surely plan on doing so
Nite all!

BOB - Thanks for typing all that diet info. That was a heck of a lot of typing. I managed to print it up at work this evening but will have to study it tomorrow. I'm going to check out EAT RIGHT FOR YOUR BLOOD TYPE as soon as I can get my hands on it. Once again thanks for all your hard work.
Deb - Hope your shoulder is better tomorrow. Have you tried poking Eli in the ribs when he snores too much. That should stop him for a while to give you a chance to get to sleep. The temp was 36 F at 6.30 a.m. yesterday morning but it did warm up quite a bit later and we had a good sunny day. I don't mind the cool weather as long as the sun shines.
Got in my 4.5miles, only walked today, no jogging at all, did it in
1hr 49 seconds. Just wasn't in the mood to try any harder, was actually going to take the morning off then decided WHY? I need the boost that walking gives me. For some reason I find that when I walk I am less hungry in the mornings than when I don't walk.
WIW I knew would not be good for me due to me being mid-cycle and the gain I usually have, so I'm not obsessing over it. I'm up 3.5lbs from my lowest, up 1.5lbs from last WIW, but down the additional pound I was up yesterday, so I'm hoping the downward trend has started and I'll have good news to report over the next few days. At this point, I'm happy to stay within my 5lb "cushion" even when I do have these expected gains.
ROSALIE, shoulder is a bit better, not 100%. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with my new pillow Poke Eli, that's being too nice, I'd kick him if I could reach him, he's on one edge of our bed, I'm on the other, my legs are too short to reach across the king size bed and my body is too lazy to scoot over to give him a swift one. Usually he's not that bad all night, guess it's just a combination of him being so tired and getting sick. Thanks again for doing the pics for GATOR & TREE!
LIZ, CONGRATS! Another pound is wonderful news!!! Are you still keeping track of what you're eating?
Well, it seems that I have this "job" doing the recipes! I'm very excited and hope I don't disappoint them. I will be working on some concoctions today so I can submit them to Avis for the labels of the new bottles. I'm just hoping that I won't overindulge.
Please remember, TOMORROW IS RECIPE DAY! If you have any SB LEGAL RECIPES you'd like to share with the board, please, try to post them tomorrow. I'm going to do my darndest to get some Thanksgiving appropriate recipes up and running.
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!

Morning!
I'm on my way to Athens this AM for a 2 day meeting! Just wanted to say hello and report I'm down 1/2 pound as of yesterday! Yea!! Drinking lots of water seems to help!
Everyone have a great week! I'll check in later this week!!
Tree: the spontaneous combution is what caused the fire in the cotton bales it smolders until it catches. We had a fire in my neighborhood this past sunday. some one thought they would burn stumps and we have afire ban on since it's so dry ! They almost burned 3 houses down! Have a great weeke everyone!
Well, of course since it's WIW I'm up a pound form the last two days, so the numbers are the same as last week 175/147/13?. Bummer, I thought I'd get to post a loss. Maybe next week. I've been fight a losing battle with some infectious bug (throat, headache, stomach yuck) so have really lightened up on the exercise, maybe that's why the scale is up. Today I did my slowest walk ever, 3.5 miles of being dragged by a baffled dog. I've never firgured out if it's actually worthwhile to try to exercise if you can't do at least a 75% workout- do you still get the afterburn benefits, or just a "shutdown"? Any physiologists out there have an answer? All I know is when I tried to lift on Monday afternoon, I had to cut my weight back, but felt like I'd doubled them!
Liz- Your boys are cuties- I think they look a lot like you! Congrats on another pound down.
Deb- Great on getting the job- guess you price yourself right or too low! Sounds like fun, just remember you can always package up the extras and send them to the starving children in wherever. You son't need to personally save them by cleaning the plate Looking forward to new recipes, now that I finally found a source for the agave. Hope you get some sleep soon, we used to have the same problem here. Does Eli have frequent sinus problems? Jon used to snore like a chainsaw and have chronic sinus infections. He put off going to an ENT Dr. until he was on antibiotics almost year round, but after having his sinuses roto-rootered (not pleasant, but he says he'd do it again given the circumstances) he hasn't been sick OR SNORED in 7 years. Believe me, his shins used to be black and blue from me "nudging" him all night long. I was quite willing to scoot across the king-size bed to stop that noise for a while! Even considered taking a pool cue to bed
BusDeb- What a a menagerie! Do you have to get up at 4:30 every morning to milk and feed and muck? The horse sounds really exciting, tho. On e of my step-sisters, who lives outside of Huntsville, AL has 3 horses, and 2 dogs, and has added 2 goats recently because she says that the horses and goats like to play with each other all day and keep each other company. This sounds a bit farfetched to suburban me (1 cat and 1 dog is all I can handle), but she's been hanging around stables since she was 12 so she either know what she's talking about, or has taken a few to many falls
Bob- Hope your feeling better, that Paxil is certainly giving your fingers a lot of energy! The diet(?) looks depressingly complicated- kind of like all the weight watchers point counting that I could never manage. I thought the bood type diet was more an avoidance diet of certain foods based on your type- both my stop-father and mother do it. They are both thin as rails, but swear it makes them stay healthier. Personally I think each of them gaining 10 pounds would make them healthier. Enjoying your comfy new matress?
Hi Frog- Sorry I missed chat last nite. Sounds like you are having an workout relapse too- maybe for you the after effects of your 15 mile jaunt and change in meds? Hope you feel better.
Hello to the new additions, and everyone I've missed.
OK, today my stats are 159/147/125 - which is the same as last week but really pretty good considering TOM and the fact that I was up to 149 on Sunday! I'll take it and hope for better next week. I have been doing good with the water the last couple of days and I really believe that is a big deal!!
BOB - I think it does make you feel better just knowing that someone is actually trying to help!!! I started my wellbutrin yesterday and I know its working already because I had the side effect of sleeplessness! I tossed and turned after 2am this morning and never really got back to sleep. I know this will pass because the same thing happened when I started taking zyban last April. Your body just has to adjust to the meds! Good luck with yours!
Finally HAPPY BIRTHDAY LDBLONDE!!
She lives in California,
And she's the birthday gal today
Lara is turning 31
So best wishes go her way!
She's done so much to be so young
3 kids are such a feat
An accounting specialist and Mommy too,
When she goes to bed, she's BEAT!!
So - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - Lara
Get out and CELEBRATE
The big "3 0" has come and gone!
But you still look just as GREAT!!
My 31st birthday brings mixed emotion about this year's success.
Overall I feel I've done well in the past 9 months with SugarBusters. Since February, I've lost about 20lbs and although each day is continually an internal battle I know that I'm a healthier person without sugar. With the wedding an all, I certainly tested boundaries and ate and drank things that are so way off plan that it would make you cringe, but overall, none of it made me happy and some of it was ridiculous and just set my stomach off. My resolve, I'm in a better place than I was last year. Leaving the extra weight behind certainly makes me feel better about me. I accept that I will be floating around these 5-7 lbs for a life time, but that there is no excuse to completely forget that I am TOTALLY responsible for what goes in my mouth and that being totally ignorant will only result in me gaining all the weight back.
As for other aspects of life, I feel a sense of numbness when it comes to the mouth thing, maybe someday that will be over, but I don't go back to the Dr. for another month to discuss the future.
My family is wonderful. My marriage is in good shape and I still very much in love with my husband 15+ years later. My kids are healthy and I've learned a lot about how to make living with asthma easier.
One of the very best things that has happened is that I have a best girlfriend, something I've yearned and prayed for for years. And as a total bonus, I have all of you! It's been a wonderful year of growth in the friendship arena for me.
Only one major goal do I set for myself this upcoming year and that is to make exercise a constant part of my life.
Well girls, no plans, although I'm hoping for dinner at Outback. I'll let you know. Thanks for all the well wishes.
Very hard for all of us. The good thing is he is at a local federal prison not far from us so we see him almost every weekend. He is 24 years old. 
I'll work on that pic for you tomorrow.
WIW
Poke Eli, that's being too nice, I'd kick him if I could reach him, he's on one edge of our bed, I'm on the other, my legs are too short to reach across the king size bed and my body is too lazy to scoot over to give him a swift one. Usually he's not that bad all night, guess it's just a combination of him being so tired and getting sick. Thanks again for doing the pics for GATOR & TREE!
