A special announcement from one of the sexiest men on TV.................

Pat, To be honest moving/walking is the only thing that will help. The gas is trapped, and it has to litterally dissipate on its own. From what i have read you can try: gas x strips, heating pad (dont put on belly). flap your arms around (windmill style), keep walking/moving. It will go away, hang in there (hugs)

<-- Just realized your my band sister (same date) LOL

Very well said ....

CG, you will be running after her in no time

Wozzicat, Very normal to feel this way! I think most of us went through the same process with our feelings, thinking the same thing. I know I did. I cried for 2 weeks like a big baby. I drove my husband crazy, (and Missy) too, LOL. It does get better! We can all vouch for this! Hang in there, you have lots and lots of wonderful things in life to look forward to... (hugs)

Terry, You are right about the hot sauce! Back in my WW day I always remember our leader over and over again stressing how 'spicy' foods/condiments can boost up the metabolism. Love your Breakfast btw, one of my favs in the mornings

Congratulations and continued success

Jennifer, Great job!!

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

I loved reading this topic!!!

Terry, don't laugh at me but I would take those tiny little baby spinach leaves and put tuna fish inside and roll em up. Oh, don't forget the laughing cow lite creamy swiss cheese wedge to put in that tuna. Thanks to Missy, she created the best tuna fish with laughing cow and babybel cheeses

Okay, this is a spin-off from the chicken recipe I posted the other day, with a twist! YOU are going to LOVE this!

Wonderful Terry! Let me know how you like it!

They really do! really happy about this thread. I found out about Peanut Butter powder and ordered it today. and Now these recipes, I feel like I hit the jackpot, LOL

Thank you so much, I am going to make the butterfinger Protein shake, whoohooo!

wow!!! great job!! amazing!

Wozzicat, I feel restriction most deffinately, my band lets me know when I have either eaten to much, too fast, to big of a bite, (I get discomfort) when doing any of these mentioned. My band puts me right in check! I also feel satisfied after a meal for long periods of time until my next one. I am not sure how long my restriction will continue on my journey, but for now its working....

Chipolte Crusted ... sorry for typo

Another delish super easy recipe to make for yourself or family - Enjoy Ingredients: 1 Thin chicken Breast (skinless/boneless) 1/8 cup Lite Mayo 2 tsp. Grated Parmesan cheese 2 tsp. whole wheat bread crumbs (4C makes a great one) Directions: Preheat oven at 350 degrees - Put chicken on baking sheet/pan In a small mixing bowl add the mayo and cheese (mix)- top the chicken with the mixture, sprinkle on bread crumbs. Place in oven for 20 minutes, thats it! Chicken comes out moist juicy/tender and yumcious! **You can add to the ingredients for how many chicken breasts you need to cook** Nutritional facts: for one chicken Calories: 270 Fat: 14.1 Carbs: 5.2 Protein: 28.6 <------ wow

The best advice I have learned from my fellow bandsters is the golden rule - that is never to eat more than a cup of food per meal, no matter what! Get in that protein! Oh, and the thing that helps me overall is to track everything I eat and exercise. I cannot live without these rules, ever!

Thank you Missy for always looking out for us, love ya girlfriend x0x0x00x

I just ordered these, I will be adding these too my Protein shakes
