Thanks for all the calorie info.... Sounds like a low enough treat to enjoy... I am off to shop for the ingredients... :bigsmile:

ohhhhh that sounds way toooooo yummy! Do you have any idea how many calories per regular tart?

Yup.... eating healthy and staying within a decent calorie range has helped me lose over 40 pounds with NO exercise..... I know I will be a stronger and healthier person when I do start an exercise program but at the moment I am doing just fine... And so will you till your back heals!!

Maybe with all the exercise you are doing, and eating only 1200 calories your body has hit starvation mode? Maybe you need to eat more calories? Just a thought. Good luck and don't give up till you have found what works for you!:flowerforyou:

Wow... That's pretty wild! I have an occasional McDonalds flurry and it's almost the same... Yummy while you eat it but really takes up your daily allotment!. I make sure not to have one too often like I used to.... Keep up the great work BTW!!

My son loved the quaker maple and brown sugar individually bagged garbage.... It took me a bunch of "tries" before my homemade stuff passed his tastebuds! Now he asks for it almost everyday. I use Presedints Choice Organic Oats.... 1/3 cup cold tap water 3/4 cup Bring the water to a boil on the stovetop and pour in oats,…

[/quote] quoted from earlier Here's where we differ... I look at 20 calories and say, no big deal. I look at 200 calories and say that's a meal with a serving of chicken breast and a side of veggies. Will power should keep someone from eating an entire cheesecake. There are a lot of people that come on here and wonder why…

Hello Dedicated... I wish I could help you but alas I feel like I am going through the same thing! I will eagerly await with you for a responce that might help. Good Luck!:flowerforyou:

Forgive me if I am wrong but I do not think splenda is a true natural sweetner made from sugar... maybe before it was processed into something unreconzable but I would never call it natural. I wish I had a link to a write up that I have read about this in the past. Also as I know you were asking about real food so it would…

Have a large glass of water and cut up a few extra vegtables to snack on while you make dinner... If you are like most of us, you might not eat enough vegtables. You can eat a lot of cucumber, green pepper and brocolli chunks without many calories and think of how GOOD for you they are!!

Thank you Dayla!! I will research for foods that conatin both! :happy:

Hi Dalya.... Thank you for all your help so far for all of us... I too have a question..... Ok what about the flabby frop from just fat? I have hanging skin around my tummy..... ewwwww.... what can I do?

Woot Woot I see that your ticker now says 51..... :drinker: :drinker: YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE:drinker: :drinker:

Ha Ha I liked your post... funny but lets be serious... :happy: Ask in your heart what you should do, be honest with yourself and log in all those perogies (or just the one). I know after I have spent hours making something yummy I personally would like to have more than one... So I would only cook a set amount that I was…

Thank you so much everyone..... I don't feel so panicked about this now... I have NOT had chinese food for about a year or so and I do not add any extra salt to my basiclly whole food diet... I have been trying to drink over 10 glasses of water a day and yes I am very thirsty!! Again thank you!!:happy:

Congrats for sure!! :happy: I have been going pretty slow..... It has taken me 6 months to lose 40 pounds and for it to be noticable... But I have a long way to go still... I have a hard time keeping under my calories and ignoring my craving monster! Great luck and courage to you! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie…

How about a beautiful wool rug and a pair of copper candle holders... between the two gifts you can enjoy a romantic evening together in front of a fire (well kinda warm out here for that).:laugh: Or... Adorning yourself with beautiful copper jewlery and having lamb chops for dinner? :noway: Sorry had to put that last one…

I am sorry that your Mom did not find out until something happened. I also get strange feelings on the side of my head since I was a teenager. I have had the doctor informed of them but he has told me they are muscle spasisms (sorry spelling). If these feelings have been worring you then I would personally go and ask your…
