Ok, I just read that article. Like I said before. Moderation is key to everything I belive. I don't feel that they are saying it's natural do you??? They slogan is that it's MADE FROM sugar, so it TASTES like sugar. I think the sugar companies and the nutrasweet companies are annoyed they are losing business. I heard about the chlorine a long time ago, but it really didn't bother me since I knew chlorine was in so many other things we use everyday. Think about it. We drink it everyday, we cook with it too. Anyway, just trying to be the devil's advocate here. Just thought we should look at both sides before coming to conclusions. Again, I would still use it in moderation. My philosophy is to use real sugar myself and once in a while using splenda, or nutrasweet for that matter isn't so bad. Bug tons of it a day like my step mom does, isn't good. Too much of a good thing isn't good....usually.

Hi Melissa, Slow day on here. I did get on an MSN site for South Beach and talked to a gal who's been in phase 2. She gave me some good snack ideas. That should keep me going. They have alot of different recipes on there. I kind of like this. There is so many yummy looking stuff...I don't think I'll ever feel deprived.

Hi all...and congrats to the LOSERs!!!! Roxy and Gretchen, you rock! Melissa rocks! Michelle rocks! All you other gals rock too. Maybe when I weigh in this week...I'll rock too!

Gotta get to the dinner prep. I'm going to make a stir fry thingy. I'll make rice for the family but I'm not eating it. I hate rice. See why SB is perfect. I hate rice, can't eat bread or wheat. I'm a great candidate for the Phase 1.
