High fructose corn syrup...yuck!! I have no idea why they want to put that garbage in food. I love yogurt and one of these days I am going to get myself a yogurt maker and make my own!!!! That way I will know everything that goes into it. I have come to believe that the food manufacturers don't care about us...its all…

I did that today Robin. I went into Wal-Mart for some salad greens and walked around with the cart for a while. It does help you walk and takes some of the pressure off your back. They just got done remodeling our Wal-Mart and you need a map to find out where they put everything...*rolling eyes*...We got new restrooms…

I do water jogging in the pool. It works well if you don't have a deep end....I go round and round until I get tired...at its great resistance too!! Colette

I don't like using genetically altered things either. The government allows all kinds of things in our food supplies. Fresh is best as long as its home grown and not grown for the markets, ie corporate stores. I just wish in Michigan I could grow all year round. The government has to have complete control over everything.…

I did not know that about Stevia and Truvia. I have bought ground up stevia leaves before. They are green, and leave a gritty feeling. I used it in coffee before and was not impressed. Right now I am using EZ-Sweetz that I got from Netrition. 0 cal and 0 carbs. I use 1 drop in my coffee and tea. I like Splenda, but will…

Hi Robin, Your posts are inspiring and I love your attitude....its catchy!!!! You and anyone else can befriend me too. I love having a great support system of friends on here. Colette

Thanks for having this group. I am in.... Colette

Thanks for the info on the soy. Guess I won't be having anymore of that, well I don't drink it all the time, but its good to know information. Colette

I have my calories set at 1400. I usually go over my fat allotment too, but I usually don't worry about it either. I am more concerned with the net carbs and stay within my protein and calorie goals. Colette

Activity would be a good thing...Ideas on how to handle the upcoming holidays would be good too. Colette

Count me in for the challenge!!! Colette

Thanks for the info. I may have a look around our stores hear and see if I can find anything that is similar. I heard Greek yogurt is pretty good and lower in carbs too. Colette

Where can I get Dannon Lite & Fit Carb and Sugar Control -Diabetic Friendly - Yogurt, from? I have never seen it in my Wal-Mart or local store. We have the Lite & Fit, but not with the other part added to it. I saw it on someones food diary. Colette

Thanks for the welcome! I know what to eat on LC, I am just having problems with getting the right proportions for the carbs. I wish they had a net carb button...lol Colette

Its a newer version of Atkins. The new book is good. There have been some changes all for the good. Colette

Hi all. Thanks for inviting me to this board Resalyn. I am on Atkins and have been on Induction for about 4 weeks. Its been slow going....got information overload so now I am keeping it simple.
