@cora0477 I used to buy Fiber one because it was high in fiber. Nice on the whoosh.
@ceebeeslim I presently only use Equal and am sort of trying to use less. A few months ago I probably used 12 in each cup of coffee plus a few on a salad or on top of other foods, plus the drink sticks (crystal light type stuff) Plus diet soda each day. I'm at around 2 cups of coffee and 3 packets in each. Then maybe 2 packets ... so averaging 8 packets a day + my 4 drink sticks. Its a start.
Today is Friday.... my hardest day to make it thru. But I'm following a nutrition plan and I have been SO good with it. I am NOT going to fail today! I keep reminding myself
" You're bored now.....
... Eating food will relieve the boredom for a hot second then
---- you'll be bored again and you'll be disappointed and mad at yourself"
Which is true.... Why use food to make the situation worse? Just be bored and it'll be okay. Refilling my water jug. Wishing I had a cup of coffee in the house.
We're scheduled for some pretty bad storms tonight....ugh.
Workout was good - legs, back and abs. WHOOFTA
Nutrition, today is day 5. I am at 108.6
Ladies....remember after my dads funeral a month ago I was 112.0 (ish)
and its been 4 complete days.
I did sneak in about 10 extra carrots and 1T of almond butter yesterday.
I dont know if I was hungry....
I also had 18,000 steps. I think the meal plan
is around 1500 calories. I was probably hungry.
Coach wants progress photos posted on Sunday morning.2 -
3/27: 137
3/31: 136.2
My whoosh bounced back, which I kind of expected, but still less than the day before.
I finished the week off strong. Stayed AF, met all my exercise goals, and came in under my calories.
Looking forward to April!1 -

I personally use probably 3 in each cup of coffee (down from 12) and maybe 1-5 elsewhere in my day.
What are your over all thoughts on them? Do you use any packets?
Were you really putting 12 doses of sweetener in your coffee? That's pretty much!
I do use them and I don't think there are major side effects. I drink my coffee plain though, but I put two in my oatmeal each morning. When I do desserts at home, I'll always substitute sugar with sweetener. My mom who was a diabetic used them a lot, and it was fine for her specialist who did the follow-up on her. I'm not into the current sweetener scare.0
