  1. I don't miss anything! I'm also pretty creative with my culinary skills so I always find a healthier substitution lol
  2. Search flat out pizza, it's great! Tastes like pizza to me, I also make pizza with Canadian bacon as my bread, pizza sauce, mozzarella and low fat pepperoni, so good!
  3. 600-800 a day, I work 6-7 days in a restaurant, try to workout 3-4 times a week, drink 8-12 cups water a day. No more than 30-40 carbs and fats a day, I try to stay between 20-30 of each. In a stall now, but lost 32 in two months.
  4. Yum! Sounds delish, thanks!
  5. Iced coffee recipe: Take 4 ounces coffee grinds to 2 1/2 cups cold Water , soak grinds 12-15 hours and refrigerate for up to a week. Strain the coffee grinds with a cheesecloth or strainer and napkin into a pitcher. Then for a Meal Replacement a take one cup skim milk, one cup iced coffee, my liquid stevia in vanilla or chocolate flavor and my Protein powder and pour it over ice . It's so yummy and so much cheaper than buying coffee each day
  6. Just curious on everyone's carb count intake daily. My doctor tells me to stay between 30-40 but I try to keep it btw 20-30. What about everyone else ??
  7. Crystal light is made from artificial sweeteners and contains aspartame, IMO it's like having soda without the carbonation. I talked to my doctor and he said I shouldn't be using artificial anymore once I got to solid foods. It was ok during the liquid stages but now I should be drinking Water and unsweetened tea, I am allowed stevia since its all natural. You can google artificial sweeteners and it gets into more detail.
  8. I was going to buy click yesterday but it has too many carbs and not worthy it, I like to stay under 40 carbs a day and it's 12 carbs per scoop.
  9. I've had type one diabetes since the age of 15, so I'm used to the sugar free as opposed to real sugar.
  10. Aspartame and sucralose are horrible for you. These things get blocked in ur liver and are really bad for you. I've been doing research after my brother who went into sports and medicine told me a few things.
  11. So I was searching for ways to flavor my water since I gave up on my crystal light and mio because they r really horrible for you. This stuff sounds great and can't wait to order it. U flavor yr water with it or whatever u r drinking and it's all natural because it's made with stevia. No chemicals or bad stuff. Yay! Just thought I'd share
  12. IMO, yes because it contains the same "crap" as other SF drinks
  13. I use stevia for sweetener, it's all natural. I have vanilla and chocolate and original for my shakes and I'm going to order the stevia drinks also. I stopped the crystal light because it is so bad for u and can stall weightloss. Totally different than hard candy but I wanted to add that in there because hard candy even if it's sugar free really is worst for u because of the sugar alcohols and carbs, and everything else lol.
  14. That's wonderful!! Good for u
  15. I did it ore sleeve, lost 10 and gained double. I don't believe in it after my whole experience.
  16. That's great! I was wondering about where you been , long time no see. How much have u lost?
  17. I still haven't moved for three weeks, looks like I may not get to 195.... Still at 218
  18. Yeah but you never really know and I just want to hear others opinions.
  19. Like most of us, I drink crystal light for flavor but I've been doing research and I found that it can stall weight loss because of the aspartame and artificial sweeteners. I'm officially in a stall and while trying to break my stall I wondered if this was part of the reason. I know all the chemicals get blocked in your liver and that makes it hard for ur liver to function and so called cleanse out. Anybody have any other opinions? This got me worried because plain water I don't mind but there r times I need something else.
  20. I hope I get to 40-45, I'm 9 weeks out and down 32 and stalling.... Ugh!
