  • LOVE IT! But I always buy the Hot 'n' Spicy... It does have a lot of sodium in it, so if you're watching that closely it's probably not a great sub for real veggies. I've tried the Low-Sodium and it is just bad! It makes the best bloody marys!
    in V8 How do you feel about it? Comment by acantu59 May 2012
  • Thanks! Like I said, poor planning - I didn't go grocery shopping, so I got oatmeal from Starbucks... now I know better! I'll be back on track tomorrow :)

  • I absolutely LOVE my Circulon anodized aluminum set! It's non-stick without having to have the non-stick coating. I bought the ones that have a SS bottom so I can use my induction burner, but they make them without, too. They're VERY similar to Calphalon but without the hefty price tag. Ordered online from Chef's (or…

  • Danskin from Walmart - I love the one that ZIPS up the front! I have trouble with any bras that you have to pull up over your head, and most of the more expensive brands make you do so to get them on/off. I'm a 38C, so I need the support for Zumba!!

  • Thankfully, I don't eat any of them - the candy coating cuts my gums! The cherry and the coconut ones sound so good, though! I used to love the mint ones...

  • I use the EAS Vanilla Whey Protein from Sam's Club - it mixes really easily into almond milk, and makes a really good smoothie.

  • First thing that came to mind was garlic hummus! Discovered it's really good with cucumber slices...

    in Peanut Butter Comment by acantu59 February 2012
  • I counted out 10 - it was just the right amount for my 2T of hummus, and just the right amount of crunch to satisfy a craving. Writing things down keeps me from overeating - I have to be honest with myself if I'm going to succeed. You're right - there were a "few" more calories, but I actually needed them to make my 1200.

  • I agree with mkath4 - once you've started meds and have the right levels, your BMR should be the same as if you had normal thyroid function.

    in Hints to fall in love with exercise? Comment by acantu59 January 2012
  • Hi everyone, I'm Angela and I'm a 52 year old widow that just decided to try the GF lifestyle after reading some articles by William Davis, M.D. - the author of Wheat Belly. I have been exercising on a regular basis (3-5 x/week) at Zumba Fitness since last April, and although I've toned up, my weight remains the same. I'm…

  • I've had mine for about a month - it came with my Xbox/Kinect. I just hooked up with MFP last week. I'm a computer addict, so I'm MUCH more likely to log my food and exercise online than I am to write it down in a diary like Weight Watchers does. The fitbit works pretty seamlessly with MFP, as long as you remember to ONLY…

  • My "it" is my neck - I had oral cancer 18 years ago and it involved a radical neck dissection and I have some awful scarring, as well as caved-in... Just when I start feeling a little self-confidence again, someone will out of the blue ask "what happened to you?" I find it terribly rude for a perfect stranger to ask me to…
    in No, "it" isn't an open invitation for you to .... Comment by acantu59 January 2012
  • Thanks, April! Right now, I'm using SavingDinner.com's Menu Mailer - her Body Clutter menu is great, and there are GF instructions for all recipes - I've been a subscriber for years, and love her! I'm going to stick with her for a while until I get the hang of it, then will probably try to branch out and try some baking…

  • I've actually never been diagnosed as being wheat-sensitive, but I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and pre-diabetes, as well as having arthritis on my knees and in a couple vertebrae. The articles I've read claim that a GF, or wheat-free diet can help with fibro as well as getting diabetes under control... I'm at my…

  • Thanks, Dawna! Nice to meet someone who's been on the journey for a while - with the gluten-free, that is. Having to watch what your daughter eats while not being celiac yourself has to be hard. I'm sure I'm going to have a bit of trouble adjusting, but I have a good menu plan and with the support I find here I'm confident…
