Sugar replacement
I am working at modifying all of my favorite recipes, I made breakfast for dinner last night and made the banana pancakes that I've been making for years. We eat them without any syrup or anything on them as they are wonderful all by themselves. All of the modifications such as whole wheat flour, applesauce instead of…

Do you ever
Find yourself going into a store to look at and try on clothes just because you can actually fit into them???? Coming down from a size 30/32, to being able to walk into any store and wear anything off the rack is a source of great motivation for me. I had not intention of buying anything, it just felt good to do it!!!:wink:

Workin It!!!
Had a yearly check up this morning. Doctor was REALLY happy with my weight loss being that she didn't even know I was on a program. I AM very proud of myself, but she gave me a fancy scale readout that I need some help with. In 10 months I've went from 328 to 208 in weight, I'm happy that BMI has moved from "Morbidly…

Ideas for Coffee Lover
I'm working on decreasing sugar intake. I LOVE my coffee strong but light and sweet, I've tried all the substitute sweeteners such as Stevia, Stevia in the Raw, Truvia, Splenda, Equal, Sweet&Low and I can't find anything that doesn't have an aftertaste. I also like to have some type of "creamer" in it and I'm wondering…

I had already lost 20 lbs by the time this pic was taken, and the second was taken last night. Some days I look in the mirror and can't see the weight loss, but I looked at these last night and I see my hard work paying off. I still have a long way to go but when I see those horrific arms going down, as well as other areas…

Leslie Sansone
We are in the rainy season here in Louisiana and to keep my excercise going I've bought the Leslie Sansone "Five Mile Fat Burning" walking DVD.

American Idol 4/22/09
I was pleasantly suprised that this theme turned out as good as it did. I again thought Chris was really good, because he is a quieter person and doesn't have a "story" like Danny his star kind of fades....but this kid is really good! Danny's slipping...he started out really good and had nowhere to go. Allison's always…
