    Trying hard to drink enough water. Some days are better than others. I can tell when I drink the proper amounts. Having an ok day, although I did eat a handful of potato chips. Had that craving for crunchy and salty and can't find anything low carb for that. Otherwise it is a beautiful day and I am enjoying it! Hope you are all having a good day, as well!

    @ profjan: Try popcorn!! You can get the 100 calorie bags and they have anywhere from 16-24 grams of carbs a bag and around 5 grams of fiber. Plus it's crunchy and salty and fairly good for you! :smile:

    LOL @ Colette. You are going to float away with me! How much water do you try and goal yourself to drink? I think the only reason I don't have a hard time getting in all my water is because that's all I drink with the exception of my couple of cups of tea, which I do count towards my water intake.

    Hello Ladies!!!!!!!!


    Im pushing myself to get back on track even though it was so nice celebrating my sister's wedding and having my in-laws down i really need to get back on LC. My body does not handle high carbs at all i was sick from about sunday to now and i know it's from eating off track and putting all that junk into my body. I already have my meals planned out for today and will push myself to stay on track.


    Way to go Colette and Saverys_gal for drinking so much water! Way to go

    Sassie: Losing 2lbs a week is amazing congrats!

    :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: <<<<<This will be Collette, tammietifanie and myself! Let's drink up ladies, and float away!! :laugh:

    Oh I hear you girl! Whenever I eat pizza now, it sets off my acid reflux SO badly!! That's my one and only true downfall fortunately, so I don't normally go off track otherwise...but I remember when I tried counting calories after having been on Atkins already...OMG...my body was NOT happy! I just felt so crappy. Even now, that's why I'm having a hard time upping my carbs...my body really thrives on LC eating! But I'm working on adding in at least one food a day that's a good carb that's got way more in it...like my sweet potato last night! Today I've done fruit...and I *think* I may have a bagel thin with my eggs and bacon for dinner. :devil: Hehe...

    For Thanksgiving, I will treat myself to a small serving of sweet potatoes...but there is a Turkey bake I can make that is like turkey and stuffing made with cauliflower...sounds good too...and the picture of it looked yummy!

    Where's the drool smiley?! :laugh: I love a baked sweet potato with butter! I keep a few in the house...and I think I'm at the point where I'll eat them once a week or so with my dinner, just to switch up my sides!!

    Thanksgiving..oh man...I don't cook for the holiday. My hubs and I have established a tradition of going out for Chinese food! :wink: I bloat SO bad when I eat it...but eh...oh well, it's a holiday, I'll enjoy it, and heck, I haven't had Chinese, in...6 months or so now??

    Glad your tummy is happy again!! :smile:

    Cabbage?? It's one of the few greens other than collards that makes me :sick: YUCK. Sorry girl!! I'm sure you can find a load of recipes though!!

    You can take some of the cabbage and chop it up with some onions and other seasonings and stir fry it in a little bit of olive oil. then put some ground beef or chicken or whatever you like in with some tomato sauce and just keep cooking it in the pan till it is tender. its pretty good! sometimes i put a little brown sugar splenda in and it kind of tastes like stuffed cabbage.

    Does anyone eat Oatmeal every morning at least a few times a week?? I never ever eat it and i heard it's great for fiber and keeps you full longer then eggs and veggies would. Im thinking of trying it but wanted to see if anyone eats it and if they notice a change in their diet and if you feel fuller longer

    Hey girly! Oatmeal is fantastic for you! It's a good whole grain and a good source of fiber. :smile: Since I'm trying to up my carbs and calories, I'm actually switching up my breakfast routine...and I ate oatmeal just yesterday! I know if other people see your question they will chime in with the kind that they eat-I know a lot prefer steel cut oats and Irish oats (Colette??) but to keep it simple, I just buy my Quaker instant. :laugh: I really like the Weight Control ones because they're really low in sugar but still good in everything else! Oatmeal just kind of "sticks" to my belly a little differently, but it's nowhere near as much protein as eggs. Just something to think about!

    I want to keep my carbs around 30/40 just for now so i was thinking that oatmeal would be something so simple to make and is higher in carbs! I think im going to start having it at least 3 times a week and see if it helps.


    How's everyone doing??

    So having Oatmeal this morning went out the window i thought i bought some but i didn't so instead i had eggs and a orange... Umm now im on a darn sugar high from the orange :laugh: Guess not eating fruit for about 3-4 months will do that to ya!!!! I always buy fruit for my kids and believe in having a fruit bowl always filled but i never touched it and wow :noway: didn't think 1 little orange was going to send me on a sugar rush
  • saverys_gal

    Hey ladies!

    @ tammietifanie: sorry you had a sugar buzz from the orange!! I think with reintroducing fruits, don't eat the 'tropical" ones. Stick more to your berries and ones lower in sugar and that should help. I've been eating fruit here the past few weeks a few times a week, along with more carbs, so my sugar has exceeded it's daily limits...and no sugar buzz and no weight gain/stall! :smile:

    @ Marie: Yes, oatmeal is great on a cold day!!!
  • tammietifanie
    tammietifanie Posts: 1,496 Member
    The only good thing about the sugar buzz was i got almost all my errands done and before noon lol.... I think next time i'll go with a fruit lower on the GI chart

    I have some steel cut oats I think...been so long since I looked. I am afraid to eat oatmeal just yet. I think I may try some when the weather gets colder. You can cook some up in a crock pot over night and it will be nice an hot in the morning. Reheated is good too...add some butter, sweetener and a bit of cream...yummy. If you can have fresh cranberries, you can add some when its cooking with some walnuts. Now I am hungry for oatmeal :laugh: Well, if I am going to have it, may as well try at least once a week and see what happens. Still tying to fine tune things with adding extra carbs. This weekend I blew it ...shouldn't have had the taco stuff...I ordered out the 2 nights. Guess I can figure those are my cheat days and start over, which I did today....
