I will have to try. We have guests that request low fat low cal foods at the hunting lodge--this may be a keeper!! Thanks!:happy:

I love God and all the wonderful creation He made!!:happy:

Hello to you!! Congratulations--you sound just like the rest of us!!:happy:

I had a co-worker that if anything was going to happen--it happened to her. We work at a hunting lodge and there had been construction over the summer, so therefore some mice had come in and we had set some sticky traps around in the kitchen to get rid of the last few. We were cooking and Mary went to take some food up to…

Thanks Banks! I have found that anything that comes from you is worthwhile to read--always very informative and helpful!! I know people always said to not eat sugar--chocalate, desserts, etc. but I always figured that if they were part of my allowed caloric intake, it was no big deal. Sugar spikes--I knew they happened in…

Welcome to you!! :happy:

Welcome!! This is a great site!:happy:

She has been spotted!! See if you can find her!! Such a striking resemblance--except the nose!! I love your 1966 pix Tamtastic!! All I could think of was Baaaaahbrahhhhh!!:laugh:

Welcome back Mr. Kotter!! Well, now I've dated myself--old!! Glad to see ya again!!:happy:

:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: Congrats!!:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

Hello!! It is so interesting to read the different incentives for losing weight! Good luck:smile:

After the amount of time since you first started changing your eating habits a.k.a. "dieting", you surely have had some ups and downs with your weight that was caused by food instead of water. Your body has become "acclimated" to your new eating style and will tell you when enough is enough, it will tell you when to stop.…

OK I need motivation!! 5'5" 148 lbs. I'm in!!

I had problems seeing, mostly because my mask wanted to fog up--adrenaline rush and heavy breathing:laugh:

I don't care for pain either--and I wasn't going to do it--but it looked like so much fun, and as a youth leader I'm trying to get others to play, so I did!! I had on a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, and a carhart coat (very thick "farmer's coat" with the hood up, a full face mask, neck protector, and gloves!! That should tell you…

I played paintball the other night and it was a blast!! My hubby and I are youth group leaders and we have friends that made the whole second level of their barn into a paintball "course" where two teams could play. There was Christmas lights lit in a few areas, otherwise pretty much dark. What a rush!! OK, I don't have…

That stinks when you can't just rush to him and hold him. I know that is my first instinct is to rush to my kids. At least he is with his dad. It is like a double edged sword--sometimes it is better not to know until your home, so you don't worry yourself sick, and yet if you didn't find out til you got home you'd be…

Fortunately, I had the sale catalog along and found $200 in my purse so I went shopping!!

Cook--definitely a cook. I cook at a hunting lodge during the fall and when I get home I'm full and not wanting to cook at all for my family--poor things:cry: Definitely a good cook!!

Hubba , Hubba, Zing, Zing,...Baby you got everything!!! I have an aunt that likes to say that:laugh: You look fabulous!!!:bigsmile:

I've never heard of community supplies--ours are still our own. The only thing they bring to share is a big box of kleenex. Wow--I don't like what is coming!:grumble:

I used to stress out about having a sparkling clean house when company came over, but now all I do is the basics--the entrance 'cause it is the first thing they see, the bathroom 'cause everyone uses the bathroom, and light dusting and vacuum. Just have everything in it's place. Think about how much you notice when you go…

:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: WAY TO GO!!!!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: Take it one day...--no, one meal....--no, one bite at a time. You are worth it and your health is worth it!

Sometimes if I am trying to avoid the food that I am really craving, I end up eating way more calories of other foods trying to satisfy my craving than if I would have just had my craving!! I will have my craving sometimes, but I try to eat it just before I am leaving for someplace or going outside to do mowing, etc. so I…

That's awesome!! I don't have any close up shots but it would be interesting to see!

OK I don't know how this will work for the cones, but if you frost a regular cake with buttercream frosting--the kind used for decorating, you do not need to cover the cake then. The frosting keeps the cake moist. I guess if you don't hear from anyone else who knows for sure, I would make the ice cream cupcake cones the…
