    I LOvE SWEETS! Just saw your thread. New here.

    Question - how are you all posting pictures to your posts?
    Step 1: Upload pic to your account on an online hosting service such as flickr, photobucket, or smugmug.
    Step 2: Make sure your account permissions are set so the photo can be viewed by all.
    Step 3: Obtain the URL (address, direct link) of the photo. Usually accomplished by right-clicking photo and clicking "copy image address" or something similar.
    Step 4: In your MFP post, enter the following:
    the URL from Step 3
    Except leave out the spaces before the closing square brackets... I had to include those so you could see the rest
    Note: Img or IMG will not work... It is case-sensitive. Only use img.

    If you have trouble with this... Find a post that has an a image showing... Quote it, and you will see exactly how it's done.

    Day 1: Some amount of Cadbury caramel eggs. I think two.
    Day 2: A similar amount of Cadbury cream eggs.
    Day 3: Some PB and chocolate chips.
    Day 4: Half a serving of Cadbury Caramello chocolate. I see a preference...
    Day 5: A FULL serving of the Cadbury Caramello chocolate.
    Day 6: Two servings of chocolate covered peanuts.
    Day 7: My birthday is on Tuesday, so celebrated a bit last night with a birthday cake shot, 5 oz of Makers, some Angry Orchard, and a brownie sundae from Denny's.
    Day 8: Two scoops of gelato from a nearby ice cream parlor. White chocolate Nutella, and Almond Joy. SO. DAMN. TASTY. Oh, and one serving of a Milk Chocolate with Hazelnut chocolate bar from Safeway. Was actually very yummy.
    Day 9: Half a serving of the Milk Chocolate with Hazelnut bar, and I am assuming I'll have some cake today. If there is no cake at my in-law's I will be more than disappointed.

    Day 1: 450 ml lemon sorbet, 486 kcal. Okay, won't buy again; should be more extravagant for that amount of calories.

    Day 3: Small serving of salmiak liquorice ice cream, and Daim bar.
    Day 4: White-chocolate cranberry cookies, mint thingies, and a couple of white-chocolate miniature bars.
    Day 5: Mint thingies, few white-chocolate miniature bars.
    Day 6: Half-healthy today; oranges and bananas with whipped heavy cream, which was about to go bad.
    Day 7: B&J's Caramel Chew Chew.
    Day 8: Cookies, different chocolate ones.

    Day 4: Edy's slow churned french silk.

    Day 6: B&J Milk and Cookies and white/dark chocolate cream cheese bar

    bf2b47ea-319c-439d-bcae-61d64b5df75d_zps39931d5e.jpg

    This one is really good. I don't think it surpasses Talenti but only because of the truffles in the Talenti. It's vanilla ice cream with a salted caramel swirl. The salted caramel has the perfect amount of salt for me. This one is a repeat for sure, especially since it's only 170 calories per serving.

    I was waiting patiently for it to be available in a pint-- our store has had the gallons of it for a few weeks now but nothing smaller. Yesterday I spotted the pint for the first time and it was already the last one. Mr Acrylics said he hadn't seen me move so fast in weeks. :blushing:

    Day 1: Mom's lemon cake with strawberries and whipped cream
    Day 2: Chocolate cookie sammich with almond butter
    Day 3: Chocolate and salted caramel pecan froyo
    Day 4: A Barney butter cup
    Day 5: Half a dozen Barney butter cups
    Day 6: Angel food cake with a strawberry
    Day 7: MY SON MADE ME RASPBERRY BROWNIES!!! :love:

    He made a whoooooole pan of them, just for me.
    i-KPfVBK9-S.jpg

    And he estimated the calories in his recipe... a brownie is about 100 calories. lolwut?
    I'm so freaking spoiled.
    i-tHhNDbG-M.jpg

    Day 8: Taking some inspiration from other sweet posters on the Gelato and the fancy chocolate bars... Had a raspberry brownie with Talenti Vanilla Bean and a couple squares of Taza stone ground 80% dark chocolate. I ground a little bit of sea salt onto it because these brownies are so rich and sweet, they always make me crave a pretzel or something afterward. The Taza was superfluous -- in the future I'd rather put those calories toward another brownie or half serving of gelato -- but it's very robust and would be fantastic grated into gelato or ice cream. I'll probably try it that way later with some salted caramel ice cream I bought yesterday.

    Only trouble with today's treat... I couldn't resist going back for a second brownie and another half scoop of gelato. Om nom nom.

    Gotta love the pictures :love: :love:

    Day 1 - 67g of Sweet Freedom vanilla ice cream and a chocolate protein milkshake
    Day 2 - Pancakes and single serving vanilla cake
    Day 3 - Kugel (150g). Man I love the stuff. More pancakes
    Day 4 - Kugel for breakfast. Protein cheesecake at lunch. Pancakes for dinner.
    Day 5 - Kugel and pancakes for breakfast. Chocolate protein milk shake as a snack. Yoplait frozen Greek yogurt with honey and caramel bar for lunch.
    Day 6 - Protein cheesecake with caramel and whipped cream for breakfast (no shame). Some cheese danish that was pretty good but didn't have cream cheese in it, so it didn't help with my craving unfortunately. Then more cheesecake after dinner because I was hungry. This time with some mixed berry jam.
    Day 7 - More protein cheesecake for breakfast, with whipped cream and frozen berries zapped in the microwave with some splenda until it made a nice sauce. Chocolate croissant. Apple pie a la mode, two bread slices with cream cheese and berry jam, and a serving of Talenti Sea Salt Caramel
    Day 8 - End of the protein cheesecake for breakfast, same as yesterday. A Yoplait frozen Greek yogurt with caramel and honey bar, and a square of Cote d'Or dark chocolate.
