    Just tried an Atkins Coconut Almond Delight bar - definitely not delightful!

    1. BigGirlPanties

      BigGirlPanties

      good to know... not found of coconut much anyway...thanks

    2. joatsaint

      joatsaint

      The Russell Stover sugar free coconut candy was much better! More like Mounds candy. Pretty good - if you can tolerate the sugar alcohols.

    3. JacobsMommy

      JacobsMommy

      Agreed! The Atkins Coconut Almond Delight is horrible. I do not care for coconut, but I love their Cashew Trail Mix Bar. Chocolate, cashews, peanuts, raisins, and almonds...yum!!

    “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. By paying closer attention to who and what really matters, you’ll start appreciating the miracle of the mundane. Focusing on what’s right will help you see your life in a new light.

    When life changes to be more difficult, you must change yourself to be stronger

      BeagleLover

      You're already strong--- don't need to change.

    A new NSV today. My gut has shrunk enough that I was able to slide my car seat forward an inch.

  24. joatsaint

    I am so "head hungry this morning!" Didn't get enough sleep last night and my head is telling me to eat some carbs to perk me up.

  25. joatsaint

    My weight loss is starting to attract attention at work. Not sure I'm comfortable with that!
