I use a product called "whey low". It is a combination of natural sugars (lactose, sucrose, frutose). It also has a lower glycemic index and can be used by diabetics. If you can't find it in local stores, do a goggle search.

A simple way to clean the grill: after removing food, wet 3 paper towels, place on grill, close and let steam a couple of minutes. Let cool slightly and wipe clean.

Congratulations! Great job. I'm sure your story will have a ripple effect and touch and inspire lives, many of which you will never know.

:laugh: :laugh: Karen & Marie, Thanks, you made me smile and I needed that today. Jettie

Thanks!

This is the recipe I lost and have been searching for. I just use crushed graham crumbs without the butter. I top these with a tsp of All-Fruit (sugar free fruit spread). Fantastic. Thanks for posting.

I made this with lemon cake mix. Really good. I also figured the calories at about 100 per serving. Make sure you use the 1 step angel food mix. I think all the major brands are but I found the store-brand generic ones are usually a 2 step mix. I doubt that they would work.

:laugh: :laugh: Love it!

I am a horrible joke teller (ask my husband) so maybe if I type it, I can get it right. This one came from our banker. The banker saw his old friend, Tom, an eighty-year old rancher, in town. Tom had lost his wife a year or so before and rumor had it that he was marrying a young bride. Being a good friend, the banker asked…

Like the previous post, I peel, chop and freeze over-ripe bananas. For my morning smoothie I use frozen banana, skim milk, nonfat yogart, 1 scoop of whey protein, flax seed meal, oat bran and sometime a little peanut butter. Not sure about the amounts--I just throw some in.

I love before and after pictures and both of these are great. Good Job!

I have the metal basket type that fits inside a saucepan on the stove. But the one I use the most is a Tupperware one that works in the microwave. Not sure if they are still made but I found one on ebay. I think they come in several sizes. I have the larger one but would like to have the smaller one also.

Gifts can be given anytime. Why not wait a little and see if there is a 3rd and 4th date (or more). Then a thoughtful gift of something that reflects his interests would be a nice surprise.

I use nothing but fat free milk and even 1% tastes gross to me. If you like the taste I don't think there are any downside effects to it.

Congratulations! You look great--not only slim but healthy.

Thanks for sharing. I have it bookmarked for later.

She's 12 and that can be a tough time for a kid. Don't let a 12 yr. old spoil your relationship with the family. My guess is that she is having typical pre-teen issues and may need a little extra understanding. Try being especially nice to her. If that doesn't work, just ignore what she does and remember you are an adult…

Managed 2 miles today. Used to do 3 miles easily but today was struggling to keep up for the 2 miles. Guess it will take a little while to get back in shape.
