    lioness. How do you make your shakes with the Jay Robb whey protein?

    I haven't gpt mine figure out yet. This morning I used 1/3 cup dry powder milk , 2/3 c. water and 1 c frpzen peaches. It was pretty good but sort of rich.

    We went out to eat at a buffet tonight. Had a big veggies plate. Carrots, green beans. califflower w cheese sauce and pickle beets. and asst. of fresh fruit. I will have another shake tonight for I didn't eat any protein at dinner.

    Hey guys...today I did pretty well just cutting out the sugar. I felt so much better. I don't know if I have gained any weight or not since my scale is still in a box somewhere. :grumble: I feel like I have though. I planned a route to run so tomorrow morning I am hoping to not get lost in a new neighborhood. Yesterday we got hit really badly with some tornados and the mall next to our house got demolished. This is the first time I have had to deal with tornados and I'll say I was quite scared. Spent a lot of time with my kids in the bathroom.

    Anyhow...hope everyone has a great night and here's to a wonderful day tomorrow! :drinker:

    Crys----Was wonderering about you. All those tornados around your area. glad you and family are safe.

    We have really not had any severe weather here like we usally get in the spring. We had some but nothing really scary.

    Are you starting the South beach diet over again.?

    We had a great time with Jerry brother and his wife yesterday. It is a little muggy here this morning.

    Have a great day.

    Where are you at?

    We got hit with 4 tornados last night......................

    I live at the intersection of 2 state highways and one rolled down one highway and another one went down the other highway..............

    We are still out of power today.................

    I spent my evening at my aunts house in the basement and a tree crashed on the back of her house.

    I am on my natural supplements and just picked up a new one from the natural med apothecary today, it is a natural appetite supressent.

    I will talk to myself....... :cry: :cry:

    Anyway, I am down to 209 now on the scale and very, very pumped up!!!

    The scale has started moving downward since starting to go to the Naturopath.

    LL- I live in Aurora, CO. Not used to too many tornadoes around here!

    Marie- good job on the carbs...that's not bad considering you decided not to cut down too much!

    I have still been trying very hard. Right now my hubby has been working very long shifts at work and I have had no time without the kids to go on any runs and my elliptical is still sitting in the garage from the move. I think it's time to start asking for help moving stuff into the house. Oh well. Has anyone noticed lately with the weather pattern that they are sleepier than usual?

    Ok
    :bigsmile:
    I'm back. I've been to SF for several days - walking - walking - walking!
    I'll weigh in tomorrow a.m, but I expect to break even with different foods but lots of walking! I took my pedometer & Sunday we went 8 miles!

    Hopefully my power will be back on today. Praying praying praying!!!

    LOL Clover................I bet your not. I am not used to them either. I have only been back in the Midwest for a year. i spent 15 years on the East Coast and had just gotten used to hurricanes, then moved back to the Midwest near my family and we have had tons of tornados and an inland hurricane in May.

    We have had some really wild weather this spring along with a lot of rain and that has made for the farmers getting their crops in the field late, soy beans are wayyyy behind on getting planted.


    CalieCat - Everyone's body is different, if you feel better with a few more carbs (as long as they are healthy ones) then that is what you need to do...................

    Me, I feel better with less carbs and making sure the ones I do eat are pretty natural.

    I bought cherries and OMG, they are sooooooooo good!!!

    I ate too much, but had a wonderful time. I'm looking forward to weighing in soon because my rings are coming off easily.
    That's always a good sign!
    :bigsmile:
    Do you like Caprese salads?
    Sliced tomatoes
    fresh basil leaves - cut or not
    fresh mozzarella - the wet kind - sliced on top
    drizzle with a little olive oil & basalmic
    Yum!
    :love:

    Hi guys been here almost every day lurking but not having much to say. I have been trying to stay low-carb but have had some back sliding. So here is to getting back on track.

    Fresh mozzarella is usually near the deli section in the specialty cheeses. At least at cub where I shop that's where I find it.

    :drinker: Here's to getting back on the low carb bandwagon.:drinker:

    I and welcome!!! No more lurking, Okay????

    Get in here and post your ups and downs along with us...........

    Spring and summer are great times to low carb because of the abundance of fresh vegetables and fruits that mother nature has to offer..............

    I don't even crave bread or pasta............I want veggies and fruits and meat that is grilled on the charcoal grill...........

    We have the fresh mozzarella in little tubs like cottage cheese comes in. It's in the cheese section, they're little balls in water. Looks weird, but yummy!

    Hi guys - I'm here. Really I still am!! Been a crazy week. I totally fell off the wagon. Yipes! I ate a bunch of crap - and I'm feeling it. I did my couch to 5k wog this morning, and it almost killed me :laugh: I felt so much better after though!

    I had a great low carb breakfast and I can tell my blood sugars are back in line. Yay to feeling good again! I'm getting ready to put my salad together for lunch - it sounds so good right now I'm almost going nuts! You know you've been bad when thinking about your salad for lunch excites you! I've had so much junk food this week - my body is really wanting good stuff!

    Hello,

    I found this thread while reading thru the PCOS board, that seems to have gone dry. I did Atkins a few years ago with quick results and am thinking of trying it again. I didn't catch on to South Beach as easily, so never really tried that one...Atkins seemed simpler. Thinking I should get out the book though and reread it. I remember my belly fat was the first to leave when I did Atkins and I felt pretty good, not deprived after the first week.

    I'm a chocoholic big time, so that's my hurdle to jump in getting started. I've been losing VERY slowly and work long hours so I'm too tired to feel motivated at night to spin on my bike and can't drag my butt out of bed after not sleeping well to do it in the AM, so I need to tackle the food first I think.

    Love this site and the boards, the ticker and the blogs are so great!

    Time for me to get back on track.

    Slow day here yesterday. Everybody busy with Family. Jerry and I had a nice Sunday,no one around but just us and our animals. We ate out of the freezer and didn't do much cooking.
    Have got to go to store this morning and pick up a few things for me to eat on when I get home from the hospital after the surgery tomorrrow. I hope this is the last one. The nurse seems to think he will do it all at once and not spread it out into two trips to hospital. And then after alll this is over I am going to get real serious about my diet.

    Welcome and thanks for joining us!!!

    Most of the topics that deal with anything with low carb fizzle out fast...........

    They don't understand and won't even try to understand..........I know low fat and low calorie is NOT where its at........

    thanks Lioness, I didn't know he had a recipe site. I got it in my faverite.
    I had one for breakfast and used 1/4 c dry oatmeal to get a complete meal and some fiber in it. Pretty tasty.

    Green shakes are like smoothies, but will have kale, collards, spinach, broccoli, blueberries, yogurt, etc in them so you are getting all of your servings of veggies per day.

    LOL, you don't even taste the veggies in it. The fruit diguises it and you are full of fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc...........
